Chemistry

Assessment

A-level chemistry is assessed in three 2-hour exams. Paper 1 concentrates on physical chemistry, and Paper 2 concentrates on organic chemistry, with inorganic topics split across both papers. Paper 3 comprises questions on the required practicals and synoptic questions from across the course as both written answers and multiple-choice questions. The Practical Endorsement Qualification is awarded after successful completion of all 12 required practical tasks.
