Chemistry

Assessment

Informal Assessment: Throughout the course we will make use of both summative assessment (e.g. end of topic tests) and formative assessment (e.g. answering questions in class) to review your progress. Formal Assessment: For A-level, there are three written exams in the summer of your second year: Paper 1: Fundamentals of Chemistry 2h 15 min (41%) Paper 2: Scientific Literacy in Chemistry 2h 15 min (37%) Paper 3: Practical Skills in Chemistry 1h 30 min (22%) Practical skills are assessed in both written exams and through the practical endorsement. The practical endorsement is assessed throughout the course and is awarded a pass or unclassified (separate from your final grade).
