O-level Chemistry | Workbook

This two-book set gives your child 218 exam-style Chemistry questions across the full O-Level syllabus, and a separate answer book that marks every one of them the way an examiner would.

Ten topics, three levels of difficulty

Every topic opens with a page listing exactly which syllabus points it covers, then works through three graded sections:

• Core exam practice — the main syllabus skills, tested in exam style
• Mixed exam practice — longer questions that combine several ideas in one scenario
• Challenge extension — the hardest realistic questions, still fully within the syllabus

Students who are behind can stay in the Core section and still cover the whole syllabus. Students aiming for a top grade have somewhere to go.

The answer book is the real difference

Most answer keys give you a final answer. This one gives you the mark scheme:

• Marks: exactly how each mark is awarded, point by point
• Accept: the alternative wordings that still earn the mark
• Do not accept: the near-miss answers that lose it — the specific mistakes students actually make

Calculation questions include a full Working section showing every step, so a parent who has not done Chemistry in twenty years can still check their child's method.

Drawn for Chemistry, not borrowed from a textbook

139 original diagrams across the question book: apparatus set-ups, dot-and-cross diagrams, rate curves, energy-level diagrams, flow diagrams for the Haber and Contact processes, fractionating columns, displayed formulae and titration set-ups. Many questions ask students to complete or extend the diagram directly on the page, exactly as the exam does.

Written for students sitting the exam in Malta

Scenarios are set where your child actually lives — the island's groundwater and desalination supply, limescale in a Buġibba hotel, an oil spill at an island terminal, fuel arriving by sea. The chemistry is the syllabus chemistry; the context is one students recognise.
