## What this paper is like

Practice exam 11 follows the shape of the official test exactly: 24 multiple-choice questions, 45 minutes on the clock, and 18 correct answers needed to pass — 75%. You can flag questions and come back to them, and if you close the tab mid-paper we save your place so you can pick it up where you left off.

The paper is fixed, so exam 11 is always exam 11 — useful if you want to re-sit it after revising and compare scores honestly. Everyday practicalities, science, sport.
