🧪 CPAC: What Should You Expect?
If you’re working towards an A-Level Science qualification, understanding the practical requirements is an important part of preparing for your exams.
CPAC stands for Common Practical Assessment Criteria and is used to assess the practical skills you demonstrate during your required practical work.
During your practical sessions, you will be expected to demonstrate your ability to:
🔬 Use appropriate scientific equipment and techniques
🧤 Work safely and follow laboratory procedures
📋 Follow practical methods accurately
📊 Record observations and analyse your findings
✅ Apply your scientific knowledge in a practical setting
CPAC isn’t just about getting the expected result from an experiment. It’s about showing that you can confidently apply the practical skills and techniques required for your qualification.
