Chemistry is the study of the properties of materials and the way that atoms can be combined. Without it, there could not have been any new drug development, dyes, plastics, computers or spacecraft. This qualification is highly valued and develops transferable skills which are valued by all employers, meaning your future doesn’t have to be in a laboratory.
For all advanced level (Level 3) courses such as GCE A levels and BTEC Level 3, the entry requirement will be 5 GCSEs at grade 4 or above (including Maths and English). For most subjects a GCSE grade 9—6 is required in the chosen or related subject or a merit at a BTEC Level 2. Students should preferably have a grade 7 (or above) in the associated single science. Students who have a GCSE Combined Science qualification should have a grade of 77 (or above), although those with high grade 6’s will be considered.
Paper 1: 2 hours and 15 minutes - 100 marks (37%) Paper 2: 2 hours and 15 minutes - 100 marks (37%) Paper 3: 1 hour and 30 minutes - 70 marks (26%) Papers 1 and 2 have 15 marks for multiple choice and 85 marks for structured written questions.
