Assessment

Paper 1 - Periodic table, elements and physical chemistry is a written examination covering units 1, 2, 3 and 5 (2 hours 15 minutes). Weighting = 37% of A Level marks. Paper 2 - Synthesis and analytical techniques is a written examination covering units 1,2, 4 and 6 (2 hours 15 minutes). Weighting = 37% of A Level marks. Paper 3 - Unified Chemistry is a written examination on all units (1 hour 30 minutes). Weighting = 26% of A Level marks. Practical endorsement in Chemistry is internally assessed (throughout the whole course within lessons). Performance is reported separately to the A Level grade as either a pass or fail.
