Addition Polymerisation – IGCSE Chemistry Topic Test

A ready-to-use 30-minute, 30-mark topic test on Addition Polymerisation for Pearson Edexcel International GCSE Chemistry (4CH1), with a full mark scheme and a student self-assessment sheet. Print it and use it straight away.

What’s included

• Question paper: 5 exam-style questions in a familiar exam layout, getting harder as students work through, with clear diagrams
• Mark scheme with allow / ignore notes and the grade band for every question part
• Student RAG self-assessment sheet linked to each question
• Editable Word files and print-ready PDFs

Students practise how to:

• describe polymers, monomers and addition polymerisation
• draw repeat units and monomers
• write polymerisation equations, explain saturation and link properties to uses
• calculate the relative formula mass of a polymer
• explain problems of disposing of polymers
• compare addition and condensation polymerisation

One paper for the whole class: 8 marks at grades 1–3, 14 marks at grades 4–6 and 8 marks at grades 7–9, so you can set it to mixed-ability groups or pick out sections.

Ideal for end-of-topic assessment, homework, revision lessons or cover work. Pairs with the free “Addition Polymerisation and Repeat Units” summary video on the Chemistry That Counts YouTube channel.
