Chemistry A-Level is split into 6 modules. Modules 1 to 4 constitute a stand-alone AS-Level qualification (AS Level marks no longer contribute towards the A-Level marks). Modules 1 to 6, combined with a practical Endorsement, constitute the full A Level. Module 1: Development of practical skills in Chemistry Module 2: Foundations in Chemistry Module 3: Periodic Table and Energy Module 4: Core Organic Chemistry Module 5: Physical Chemistry and Transition Elements Module 6: Organic Chemistry and Analysis
9 - 4 grades in 5 GCSE subjects (generally including Maths & English*) including 9 - 6 in at least 3 GCSE subjects. At least GCSE grade 6 in Maths plus grade 6 in single award Chemistry. If Combined Science then a minimum of 6,6 including grade 6 in Chemistry units 1 & 2.
AS/Year 1: There are two papers: ➢ Breadth in Chemistry (1½ hours) ➢ Depth in Chemistry (1½ hours) Both papers assess content from modules 1 to 4. A-Level: There are three papers: ➢ Paper 1 assesses content from modules 1, 2, 3 and 5 (2¼ hours) ➢ Paper 2 assesses content from modules 1, 2, 4 and 6 (2¼ hours) ➢ Paper 3 assesses content from all six modules (1½ hours) For Year 13, at least 15% of the written papers will assess knowledge and understanding of practical skills and 10% will assess mathematical skills. Practical endorsement (Year 13 only): Students will complete a minimum of 12 practical activities to demonstrate practical competence. This will be endorsed as pass or not achieved but will not contribute marks towards the A Level. Practical requirements impose strict limits on class sizes and places may not be available to late applicants.
