Answer one complete essay question, including both parts and both stimuli, from each section: three responses from seven options. Allow 60 minutes per section. A basic calculator is optional; there is no external information sheet. The separate 2026 Psychobiological Processes folio assesses criteria 2, 6 and 8; these practice exams do not fulfil that requirement.
