General guidance to Topic Tests
Context
 Topic Tests have come from past papers both published (those materials available publicly)
and unpublished (those currently under padlock to our centres) presented in a different format
to allow teachers to adapt them for use with candidates.

Purpose
 The purpose of this resource is to provide qualification-specific sets/groups of questions
covering the knowledge, skills and understanding relevant to this Pearson qualification.
 This document should be used in conjunction with the advance information for the subject as
well as general marking guidance for the qualification (available in published mark schemes).
