A-level Chemistry attempts to answer the big question ‘What is the world made of and it’s the search for this answer that makes this subject so fascinating. From investigating how one substance can be changed drastically into another, to researching a new wonder drug to save millions of lives, the opportunities that chemistry provides are endless. Studying A-level Chemistry will be challenging but full of fascinating stories and ideas that have made advances in science possible. Chemistry is delivered as 5 hours per week taught lessons which are split into 2 sessions (a 3-hour lesson and a 2-hour lesson) and are expected to complete a further 5 hours of independent study outside of lesson time. There is a wide variety of ways in which the lessons will be delivered from practical work for the practical endorsement, exam practice, and Google Classroom.
You must have achieved 5 passes including mathematics and English, where a pass is defined as GCSE 9-4 and pass or better at level 2 BTEC. GCSE Chemistry and either Biology or Physics (Separate Sciences): Grade 6 GCSE Combined Sciences 6/6
The course is 100% exam based and examined by 3 terminal exam papers: Paper 1 is 105 marks and is worth 35%. It examines relevant Physical chemistry topics, Inorganic chemistry and relevant practical skills. It is a mixture of long and short answer questions. Paper 2 is 105 marks and is worth 35%. It examines relevant Physical chemistry topics, Organic chemistry and relevant practical skills. It is a mixture of long and short answer questions. Paper 3 is 90 marks and is worth 30%. This paper is synoptic and can examine any part of the course. It comprises 40 marks of questions on practical techniques and data analysis 20 marks of questions testing across the specification 30 marks of multiple choice questions. All 3 papers are 2 hours long.
