The experimental skills of planning, analysis and evaluation. The context of the questions may be outside the syllabus content.
A written paper on planning, analysis and evaluation, sat for the full A Level only. You do no practical work in it, and the context may be outside the syllabus, so practise on unfamiliar experiments as well as the ones you know.
Where the library covers it
The skills this paper tests are taught in Measurement, uncertainty and significant figures in chemistry, Apparatus, techniques and safety: the twelve required practicals in outline, Preparing, purifying and testing an organic solid and liquid and Group 2 compounds: solubility, uses and the sulfate test. The methods, from titration to thin-layer chromatography, are on the practicals page, and the Cambridge route map lists the syllabus headings for Papers 3 and 5.
