    General information about practical exams


    Centres must follow the guidance on science practical exams given in the Cambridge Handbook.

    Safety

    Supervisors must follow national and local regulations relating to safety and first aid.

    Only those procedures described in the question paper should be attempted.

    Supervisors must inform candidates that materials and apparatus used in the exam should be treated
    with caution. Suitable eye protection should be used where necessary.

    The following hazard codes are used in these confidential instructions, where relevant:

    C corrosive MH moderate hazard


    HH health hazard T acutely toxic
    F flammable O oxidising
    N hazardous to the aquatic environment

    Hazard data sheets relating to substances used in this exam should be available from your chemical
    supplier.

    Before the exam

    • The packets containing the question papers must not be opened before the exam.
    • It is assumed that standard school laboratory facilities, as indicated in the Guide to Planning
    Practical Science, will be available.
    • Spare materials and apparatus for the tasks set must be available for candidates, if required.

    During the exam

    • It must be made clear to candidates at the start of the exam that they may request spare materials
    and apparatus for the tasks set.
    • Where specified, the supervisor must perform the experiments and record the results as instructed.
    This must be done out of sight of the candidates, using the same materials and apparatus as the
    candidates.
    • Any assistance provided to candidates must be recorded in the supervisor’s report.
    • If any materials or apparatus need to be replaced, for example, in the event of breakage or loss,
    this must be recorded in the supervisor’s report.

    After the exam

    • The supervisor must complete a report for each practical session held and each laboratory used.
    • Each packet of scripts returned to Cambridge International must contain the following items:
    – the scripts of the candidates specified on the bar code label provided
    – the supervisor’s results relevant to these candidates
    – the supervisor’s reports relevant to these candidates
    – seating plans for each practical session, referring to each candidate by candidate number
    – the attendance register.

    Specific information for this practical exam

    During the exam, the supervisor (not the invigilator) must do the experiment in Question 1 and
    record the results on a spare copy of the question paper, clearly labelled ‘supervisor’s results’.

    Apparatus and chemicals for Question 1

    Each candidate will require the following materials and apparatus. Labels must not include
    concentrations.

    Candidates have been instructed to raise their hands to indicate when they need hot water, which you
    should pour into their water-bath. Caution: water will be hot.
