This qualification is linear which means that students will sit all the A Level exams at the end of their A Level course by a mixture of structured long answer and multiple choice questions in 3 x 2 hour exams. At least 15% of the overall assessment of Chemistry will assess knowledge, skills, and understanding about practical work. This will be carried out throughout the course in a series of 12 required practical activities which will have varying levels of choice and independence. These will be maintained in a hard-backed laboratory book. Paper 1 • 2-hour examination Paper 2 • 2-hour examination Paper 3 • 2-hour examination
