As in other subjects, the AS and A-level qualifications are now ‘decoupled’ which means that the AS marks no longer contribute towards the full A-level qualification, so the A-Level course is no longer broken by the AS exams. In Chemistry, the content of the AS and A-level qualifications are split into three sections, which is a traditional approach, based on Physical, Organic and Inorganic Chemistry. There is no practical examination, but that does not mean in any way that there is no practical content to the course. Students are awarded a separate endorsement of practical skills, assessed by teachers. This will not be graded. If students pass, it will be recorded on their certificates. Otherwise it is not recorded.
There are GCSE grade requirements for some options. Students taking A-levels will need to have achieved certain grades and skills to enable them to succeed in these courses. In English, Mathematics and Science it is GCSE Grade 7. Other subjects also have grade criteria that should be checked with teachers.
Paper 1: • Written exam: 2 hours - Counts for 35% of the overall qualification. Paper 2: • Written exam: 2 hours - Counts for 35% of the overall qualification. Paper 3: • Written exam: 2 hours - Counts for 30% of the overall qualification. Knowledge and understanding of practical work will be assessed in written exams. About 15% of total marks in our AS and A-level exams will be based on practical questions.
