The reformed A Level course is a linear course resulting in an A Level qualification. The specification is taught using a content-led approach giving flexibility to divide topics and approach teaching in a logical fashion. Chemistry occupies a central and pivotal position in the sciences and its study develops an appreciation of many aspects of our complex and technical society. Although Chemistry is not an easy option, the correct approach to study can make it an extremely rewarding and enjoyable subject. We would expect that you show an interest in Chemistry by reading around the subject, e.g. Chemistry review magazines, New Scientist articles etc. Every hour of Chemistry teaching needs to be matched with an hour of private study, this equates to around 4 hours per week.
Pupils should be aiming for at least a 6 in GCSE Chemistry or a 77 grade in GCSE Double Award Science (recommended). At least a grade 6 in Mathematics is also recommended.
A series of terminal examinations, covering the following six modules: 1. Development of practical skills 2. Foundations in Chemistry 3. Periodic table and energy 4. Core organic chemistry 5. Physical Chemistry and transition elements 6. Organic Chemistry and analysis Paper 1 37% - Periodic table, elements and physical Chemistry. Examines modules 1, 2, 3 and 5. Varied multiple-choice and short-answer questions Paper 2 37% - Synthesis and analytical techniques. Examines modules 1, 2, 4 and 6. Varied multiple-choice and short-answer questions Paper 3 26% - Unified Chemistry. Examines all units. Longer answer questions (no multiple choice)
