A level of Chemistry consists of 3 Units exploring Physical Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, and Organic Chemistry, and is designed to build on the knowledge, understanding, and skills developed during the GCSE Chemistry and Combined Science courses. At least 20% of all examination questions will test mathematical skills. There is no coursework examination but students will keep a record of selected practical activities that they undertake over the two years, providing evidence for an internally decided “practical endorsement”. Examples of practical work undertaken are making aspirin and separating species by thin-layer chromatography.
