unless you revise.
Where should you revise?
A quiet room
How should you revise?
Plan your break before the start of your revision. more

* Emphasis would be put on Topics 9-12# May include contents of
Topics 1-12
Chemistry-Paper 2 (Electives)One question is set for each of the
three electives, candidates are required to answer any 2 out of
them.
Standards Referenced Reporting (SRR)The standards are held
constant The percentage of students awarded agiven level may vary
from year to year The standards are more informative Level
descriptors together with exemplarscan better reflect the
standards
Standards settingBased on examination results, candidates are
awarded with a total score To determine the minimum scores (also
known as cut scores) a candidate must obtain for meeting various
