What if I can’t find some chemicals or materials?

If you cannot get some of the chemicals or materials you need from local, in-country, or international sources, email us at info@cambridgeinternational.org and in the subject line tell us the syllabus, component and include the heading ‘Difficulty procuring chemical or material’ . The body of the email should provide us with more details of the chemicals or materials you are finding hard to obtain.

We will suggest alternative chemicals or materials that candidates can use. These may be items you already keep in your centre, or which you can find locally. The supervisor’s report should clearly record any alternative chemicals or materials that have been agreed with us before the exam.

It is the centre’s responsibility to source chemicals and materials for practical exams and failure to do so may mean we will refuse entries for that syllabus in the future.
