A Level Chemistry gives you the opportunity to develop your appreciation of the topics that you were taught at GCSE level and a chance to find out about new themes and ideas that may have significant impact on society today. Like all A Level subjects, the two-year course will be demanding and rigorous but this should allow you to develop a genuine in-depth understanding of this fascinating science.
All students need a minimum of five GCSE passes (any subject) at grade 4 or better to study in Sixth Form. If students achieve an average point score of 8 or higher across all of their GCSEs they can study 4 A Levels or equivalent subjects. Must be actively performing at club level in an individual and/or a team sport.
Paper 1: Advanced Inorganic and Physical Chemistry (30% weighting) Paper 2: Advanced Organic and Physical Chemistry (30% weighting) Paper 3: General and Practical Principles in Chemistry (40% weighting) Papers 1 and 2 are topic based. Paper 3 will assess across the whole subject and have a practical focus. The three papers will contain the following types of question: Multiple choice Short response (2 or 3 marks) Extended response (5 marks or more) Calculations will make up about 20% of the whole A Level assessment. 15-20% of the total marks will be on practical-based questions.
