Have you ever wondered how we have worked out the structure of natural materials such as hormones or penicillin and then been able to make them in the lab – perhaps even improving their desirable properties? How we can analyse over 100 different chemicals in one puff of cigarette smoke? The Chemical industry is Britain’s third largest manufacturing industry and the UK’s number one export earner. In spite of this, there is a shortage of chemists and so grades required for University entry are often low. This is the essential A Level subject for anyone wanting to study medicine, veterinary science or dentistry. It is also a valuable ‘service’ subject for those wishing to study Biology, Microbiology, Biochemistry, Materials Science, Forensics and Engineering. An increasing number of students are combining the subject with one or more Arts subjects – perhaps because Chemistry is a very creative Science.
You should have achieved a minimum of five GCSE grades at 9-4 including English and at least a Grade 6 in Maths or Grade 7 in Maths if studying Chemistry and Physics. If studying Combined Science, you must have at least achieved Grade 7/6. If studying Separate Sciences GCSE Chemistry, Grade 7 is required. If you wish to study Chemistry with Biology or Physics at you will need at least Grade 7/7 in the 2 Science subjects you wish to study. If you have completed Combined Science you require at least 7/7.
A2 Practical’s There are a further 6 compulsory practicals to be completed in A2 Chemistry; the skills used in these will be questioned on all three exam papers. These include Preparation of Organic Compounds, Thin Layer Chromatography and Transition Metal Reactions. A2 Examinations There will be three examinations at the end of the A2 course these will cover all content covered during the two year program and all practical’s completed. Each exam is 2 hours with Paper 1 and 2 being 105 marks of short and long answer questions. Paper 3 is 90 marks, focusing mainly on practical skills, with 30 marks of multiple choice questions
