Checkpoint 6 Science — Practice Test 1

A full timed Checkpoint-style Science test — two 35-minute papers worth 40 marks each — set in a school garden, on the Red Sea coast and on a fossil hunt in the Western Desert, with automatic marking, a mark scheme and full worked solutions.

Before you start

  • This is a full practice test in the style of the Cambridge Primary Checkpoint Science (0097) test taken at the end of Stage 6. It covers the whole Stage 6 curriculum: biology, chemistry, physics, Earth and space, and thinking and working scientifically.
  • There are two papers. Each paper lasts 35 minutes and is worth 40 marks (80 marks in total). The timer starts when you press Start.
  • Calculator: the cover of the real Paper 1 says "You may use a calculator", so a calculator is allowed in Paper 1. For Paper 2, follow what your teacher or the paper says — the calculations in this test are simple enough to do by hand.
  • Equipment: a black or dark blue pen, an HB pencil for diagrams and graphs, and a calculator. In the real test you write your answers and working on the question paper, and no additional materials are needed.
  • You can write your answers on paper first if you like — download the question paper (PDF) and do the test the real way, then type your answers in or mark them with the mark scheme (PDF).
  • How marking works here: typed answers (numbers, short words and multiple choice) are checked automatically. Written answers (explanations, descriptions) you mark yourself at the end: compare your answer with the mark scheme and give yourself the marks you have really earned.
  • Look at the marks for each part: [2] means two separate points. Give units (g, N, °C, s) with your numbers.
  • Your score is a practice score to show you what to revise. It is not an official Cambridge result.
قبل ما تبدأ

الاختبار ده زي امتحان Checkpoint Science بالظبط: ورقتين، كل ورقة ٣٥ دقيقة و٤٠ درجة. اقرأ القصة اللي في أول كل سؤال كويس، وبص على الرسمة. لو السؤال عليه درجتين اكتب فكرتين مختلفتين. الإجابات المكتوبة (الشرح) هتصححها بنفسك من نموذج الإجابة — كن أمين مع نفسك عشان تعرف تذاكر إيه. والدرجة دي للتدريب بس، مش نتيجة رسمية من كامبريدج.

After the test
  • Check every wrong answer. Read the worked solution, then cover it and do the question again on paper until you can explain it yourself.
  • Mark your written answers strictly. A mark is given only for a point that matches the mark scheme. Two points are needed for 2 marks.
  • Sort your mistakes: was it a fact you did not know, a misread question, a missing unit, or a graph/table you read wrongly? Exam technique mistakes are the quickest to fix.
  • Revisit the lessons: food webs and toxins → *Food Chains, Food Webs, Energy and Toxins*; heart, blood vessels and lungs → *The Heart and Circulatory System* and *The Lungs and Respiratory System*; disease and hygiene → *Diseases, Hygiene and the Body's Defences*; puberty → *Human Reproductive System and Puberty*.
  • Chemistry → *Properties of Substances: Melting and Boiling Points, Gases, Conductors*, *Reversible Changes and Dissolving*, *Boiling and Evaporation*, *Chemical Reactions: Reactants, Products and Evidence*.
  • Physics → *Mass, Weight and Gravity*, *Force Diagrams and Forces on Moving Objects*, *Floating and Sinking*, *Light: Reflection and Refraction*, *Electric Circuits, Symbols, Series and Parallel*.
  • Earth and space → *Rocks and Fossils*, *Types of Soil*, *The Rock Cycle*, *The Solar System and the Phases of the Moon*. Investigation questions (variables, anomalous results, means, conclusions, improving a method) → *Thinking and Working Scientifically: Investigations, Variables, Tables and Graphs*.
  • When you are ready, try Practice Test 2 under timed conditions and compare your scores.
