A useful resource for students to practice their knowledge and examination technique for future external assessments. This is for the following paper: 4CH1 - 1C This mock is based on our 2023 Predicted Papers. These questions are completely original and have been designed from scratch. There has been no reuse of previous exam questions. Our mock paper follows the format of the true Edexcel IGCSE Chemistry 1C paper closely. It is also the exact duration and mark-count, with questions of increasing difficulty. A mark scheme is also attached. The paper covers the following specification points: • Topic 1b - Elements, compounds and mixtures (1.8 - 1.10) • Topic 1e - Chemical formulae, equations and calculations (1.25 - 1.32) • Topic 1f - Ionic bonding (1.37 – 1.41) • Topic 2a - Group 1 (2.1 – 2.3) • Topic 2d - Reactivity series (2.15 – 2.20) • Topic 2h - Chemical tests (2.44 – 2.50) • Topic 3a - Energetics (3.1 - 3.4) • Topic 4b - Crude oil (4.7 – 4.12) • Topic 4c - Alkanes (4.19 – 4.22) Disclaimer: This document was created by department heads with many years of experience teaching the Pearson Edexcel IGCSE Chemistry course. We cannot however guarantee that it is an accurate representation of upcoming examinations and students should not treat it as such. Please use this as an aid, alongside other methods of revision.
