A Level Chemistry

Assessment

There are 3 written papers (worth 35%, 35% and 30% of the final A Level grade) all of which are taken at the end of the A Level course. 20% of A Level marks require the use of higher GCSE mathematical skills and 15% of A Level marks are awarded for practical knowledge and understanding. Practical assessment of skills takes place throughout the year with students gaining a pass or fail that will accompany their A Level grade.
