The book 'Longman 1001 MCQ' is meant more for O level rather than lower sec?

If you look closely at that book, the questions are labelled with difficulty levels 1-3 (symbolized by fingers on a hand). Difficulty level 1 can be used for lower secondary. A student can try level 1 questions first, then check their answers, then proceed to level 2. Difficulty level 3 would be more challenging upper secondary style questions. These however would be appropriate for Sec2 students in IP classes. This book is good for checking the student's knowledge of basic facts and concepts and the ability to do short calculations using the correct formulas.

Coming up with the right level of difficulty for practice worksheets for lower secondary takes a bit of investigation as to the class that the student is in. Some classes focus on a few topics and do significant amounts of O'Level difficulty. Other teachers like to cover more topics but at less depth. And then there are the ones covering a lot of topics also at a lot of depth. But aside from the MCQ's, help with answering structured questions is very important. I spend a lot of time in tuition class on structured answers because the questions in the schools are trending harder in the last few years in lower secondary. There is a lot of testing on being able to explain the cause and effect relationships in science. This requires clear understanding of the concepts first. Then second is the ability to express thoughts in writing using the accurate words and terminology. This just take a lot of practice and guidance. But this is what is separating the A's from the B's in a lot of cases now.

Actually... IP and O levels for my school at least goes at the same speed, only that O level is more theory based and IP is more project/practical based.
