Chemistry - A Level

Assessment

How will I be assessed? A-level grades will be based only on marks from written exams, however a separate endorsement of practical skills will be taken alongside the A-level. This will be assessed by teachers and will be based on direct observation of students’ competency in a range of skills that are not assessable in written exams. There are four components that students must complete: Fundamentals of chemistry (01) – 2 hour 15 minute paper Scientific literacy in chemistry (02) – 2 hour 15 minute paper Practical skills in chemistry (03) – 1 hour 30 minute paper Practical endorsement in chemistry (04) – a non-exam assessment
