Chemistry

Assessment

You will be examined at the end of the second year, and there are two examination papers. Paper 1 is composed of two sections: Section A, a multiple choice paper, and Section B, made up of data-based and experimental questions. Paper 2 contains a variety of structured questions. In addition, both SL and HL students will complete a hands-on laboratory investigation, marked by their teacher and moderated by an external examiner. This provides you with the opportunity to explore an area of chemistry which you would like to learn more about whilst developing the key skills of scientific investigation. It is assessed according to four criteria: design, analysis, conclusion and evaluation.
