    The key takeaways are that this booklet contains individual exam-style chemistry practice questions sorted by topic to help students practice and test their knowledge throughout the year rather than waiting until exams. It encourages students to do more practice questions than others and start early in the year.

    The purpose of this booklet is to provide individual exam-style chemistry practice questions that match the style of questions typically asked in exams. However, it is not an actual practice exam.

    The booklet advises students to answer the practice questions as they learn the information for each topic rather than waiting until the end of the year to complete exams. It also mentions that top students do more practice questions than others.

    Year 11

    Instructions
    Individual, exam-style questions
    The questions contained in this booklet match the style of questions that are typically asked
    in exams. This booklet is not however, a practice exam. Elevate’s research with top students
    identified that top students do more practice questions than anyone else. They begin the
    process of testing their knowledge early in the year.

    Therefore, we have provided exam-format questions that are sorted by topic so that you can
    answer them as you learn the information, rather than waiting until the very end of the year to
    complete exams.
