AQA GCSE Combined Science Chemistry mock draft, 26–31 Oct. Draft coverage: Combined Science Chemistry Paper 1 (Higher tier). Reviewed for an original-practice sitting; check student availability before registering. Marking and results will follow later, after separate approval. Eligible new accounts receive a five-day Pro trial when signup email verification completes. Previous trials keep their original expiry. After expiry, new papers need Pro unless you have an explicitly confirmed free sitting offer for this event. That offer adds no Pro time or AI learning. Saved attempts and released results remain readable. No card or automatic charge.

The concentration formula is concentration = mass of solute ÷ volume of solution, measured in g/dm³. The Calculating Mass of Solute in Solutions notes cover this in full.
The law of conservation of mass states that no atoms are lost or made during a chemical reaction, so the mass of the products equals the mass of the reactants. The The Law of Conservation of Mass notes cover this in full.
Percentage uncertainty = uncertainty ÷ measured value × 100. The Understanding Uncertainty in Chemical Measurements notes cover this in full.
Relative formula mass (Mr) is calculated by adding up the relative atomic masses of all the atoms in a formula: multiply each element's relative atomic mass by its number of atoms, then add them together. The Calculating Relative Formula Mass notes cover this in full.
To balance a chemical equation, count the atoms of each element on both sides, then change the coefficients in front of the formulae until every element has the same number of atoms on each side. The Balancing Chemical Equations notes cover this in full.
The concentration of a solution is measured as mass per unit volume, in g/dm³ or g/cm³. The Calculating Mass of Solute in Solutions notes cover this in full.
Percentage by mass of an element = total relative atomic mass of that element in the formula ÷ Mr of the compound × 100. The Percentage by Mass in Compounds notes cover this in full.
A limiting reactant is the reactant that is completely used up in a chemical reaction, which determines the maximum amount of product that can be formed. The Understanding Limiting Reactants notes cover this in full.
