Chemistry is known as the central science due to its importance in linking physical and biological sciences. It rationalises important biological processes on a molecular level and allows the synthesis of key medicines. The lithium-ion battery and the making of plastics are just two examples of Chemistry inventions that are indispensable in our everyday lives. A Level Chemistry can be taken with a wide range of subjects with Mathematics, Physics or Biology being the most common. The A Level course is far more exciting than GCSE! There is more time for in-depth discussions and practical work. You should always challenge yourself (or your teachers) with the question “why?” and accepting something without justification should be very rare indeed.
You will need to have developed a solid foundation in GCSE to pursue A Level Chemistry, achieving a minimum of Grade 7. It is necessary to be proficient in several key topics such as moles calculations, formulae, balancing equations, and structure & bonding. A good standard of mathematics at GCSE is also required as a minimum of 20% of the marks are awarded for calculations.
You will sit three exam papers at the end of the course: Paper 1: Advanced Inorganic and Physical Chemistry. Paper 2: Advanced Organic and Physical Chemistry. Paper 3: General and Practical Principles in Chemistry. The third paper contains synoptic questions covering all the topics in the course and a significant number of marks are awarded to questions on experimental methods.
