Many students study A Level Chemistry alongside Biology, Physics or both. Chemistry is sometimes described as ‘the central science’ as it helps to bridge the traditional ‘physical sciences’ with applied sciences. In doing so, it helps to explain many everyday phenomena and is an interesting subject to study
Normally we would consider the candidate’s projected or actual GCSE results. Generally we expect candidates to obtain at least five GCSEs at grade 5 and above in order to follow an AS/A level programme, with at least grade 6 in the subjects selected for studying at A level, or in relevant subjects where a student is starting a subject from scratch (such as Psychology or Business Studies). We reserve the right to alter these expectations on a case-by-case basis. Those not undertaking GCSEs will need to show suitable ability.
Component 01: Periodic table, elements and physical chemistry - testing Modules 1, 2, 3 and 5 2 hours 15 minutes written paper: 100 marks 37% of total A level Component 02: Synthesis and analytical techniques - testing Modules 1, 2, 4 and 6. 2 hours 15 minutes written paper: 100 marks 37% of total A level Component 03: Uni ed chemistry – testing all Modules (1 to 6) 1 hour 30 minutes written paper: 70 marks 26% of total A level Component 04 (non-exam assessment) The Practical Endorsement can form part of the A level. A level students can be entered for Component 04 – ‘Practical Endorsement in Chemistry’ and the grade in their nal award is endorsed accordingly. This is teacher assessed and evidenced. This will be a separately reported result
