Learn as you go through Year 12
2027 Practice Packs are designed to support your learning from the start of your Year 12 course. Follow the topics you’re learning at school, work through the examples and practise at your own pace. You don’t need to finish the whole course before you start. Use the solutions and review guidance to understand mistakes, then return to mixed revision and course checks as you cover more topics.
Nine seven-activity workshops, nine additional worked examples, two independent nine-activity course checks and nine mixed-revision activities. Solutions couple scientific explanations, criteria, alternatives and next-step guidance.
