Chemistry - A Level

Assessment

There are three written papers, all two hours long. Paper 1: Inorganic chemistry with relevant physical chemistry and practical skills. Paper 2: Organic chemistry with relevant physical chemistry and practical skills. Paper 3: All content and practical skills. Practical work will be assessed in the written papers. 15% of the total A Level marks will be for practical knowledge and understanding. A separate ‘endorsement’ of practical work will be assessed by teachers. This will not be graded. If students pass, it will be reported on their certificate.
