The OCR Advanced Chemistry course takes a content-led approach. It is designed not only to be a stand-alone qualification but also to give pupils an excellent preparation for degree courses in a variety of areas. It is structured in such a way as to maintain interest, curiosity and enjoyment in the study of chemistry through extensive practical work and supporting theory.
Entry to the Sixth Form is by current school reports and predicted GCSE Grades. Candidates require a minimum of 3 x Level Six and 3 x Level Four/Five Grades at GCSE (3 B grades and 3 C grades) to enter the Sixth Form, however a minimum of a Level 7 at GCSE is required to study Maths or Physics at A-Level.
Paper 1 - Periodic table, elements and physical chemistry ( I00 marks, 37%, 2 hrs I5 ruins). Modules I, 2, 3 and 5: 85 marks structured questions including practical techniques, IS marks multiple choice. Paper 2 - Synthesis and analytical techniques ( I00 marks, 37%, 2 hrs 15 min ). Modules I, 2, 4 and 6: 85 marks structured question including practical techniques, I5 marks multiple choice. Paper 3 Unified chemistry (70 marks, 26%, I hr 30 ruins) Assesses content from all modules (1-6): structured questions including practical techniques. Practical Endorsement: Awarded at the end of two years for meeting the required competency across a range of practical skills. Maths skills: At least 20% of the marks in the Chemistry A Level exams will require maths skills.
