How we predicted it

We analysed the C1 Higher papers from February 2022 to May 2026 and the CCEA Chief Examiner’s reports. The paper includes the topics that come up almost every series (Group 7 and displacement reactions, atomic structure and isotopes, dot and cross diagrams, ionic bonding, balanced and ionic equations, acids and salts, moles with limiting reactants and percentage yield, chromatography and flame tests) plus a 6-mark question on diamond and graphite, which is due.

Every question has been checked against the CCEA C1 specification, every calculation has been independently rechecked, and the paper has been test-sat.

This is an independent practice paper written by A-List Tutoring. It is not an official CCEA paper. A predicted paper cannot guarantee which questions will appear in the real exam, so use it alongside full revision.
