Assessment

The course assessment can be viewed as breaking down into three main papers: Paper 1: Advanced Inorganic and Physical Chemistry is a one hour 45 minutes paper that consists of 90 marks. This paper includes a mixture of multiple choice, open-response, calculation and extended writing questions and covers topics from Year 1 and Year 2 of the course. This paper represents 30% of the total course mark. Paper 2: Advanced Organic and Physical Chemistry is a one hour 45 minutes paper that consists of 90 marks. This paper includes a mixture of multiple choice, open-response, calculation and extended writing questions and covers topics from Year 1 and Year 2 of the course. This paper represents 30% of the total course mark. Paper 3: General and Practical Principles in Chemistry is a two-hour 30 minutes paper that consists of 120 marks. This paper includes a mixture of multiple choice, open-response, calculation and extended writing questions. This paper will include questions that assess conceptual understanding of experimental methods covered and is more synoptic in nature. This paper represents 40% of the total course mark.
