Chemistry at A-Level is a two year course; it is split into three broad headings of physical, organic and inorganic chemistry. The two year course looks at each of the main topics in approximately equal detail. Whilst there will be plenty of practical tasks to be done throughout the course, there is no formal practical assessment. However those studying for Chemistry will be entered for the continuous assessment of practical skills. This requires the students to pass certain competencies. Once passed, it will be noted on their statement of results. Student need to also note that those wishing to study a scientific subject at University will be required to pass these competencies. The criteria will be marked off from 12 practicals over the course of the two years, 6 from the first year of the course and 6 from the second year of the course.
Maths, English, strong practical skills, excellent study ethic and independent learning. Grade 7 in GCSE Science (double/triple)
