The controversial new GCSE science papers, which feature multiple choice questions, have been accused of 'dumbing down' the subject.

An example of a question:

Sunbeds give off ultraviolet rays. They are used to get a suntan. Sara says: "I know I shouldn't really use them, but I'm going on holiday soon and I don't want to be the only one on the beach without a tan." How could you explain Sara's decision?


Rest of the questions here.
