Chemistry

Assessment

The course will be assessed with 3 exams at the end of Year 13. (01) Periodic table, elements and Physical Chemistry 100 marks 2 hours 15 minutes written paper (37%) (02) Synthesis and analytical techniques 100 marks 2 hours 15 minutes written paper (37%) (03) Unified Chemistry 70 marks 1 hour 30 minutes written paper (26%) The lessons involve both theory and practical work and you will use different study skills including making notes in groups and individually, preparing information for presentations, executing and writing up experiments. Once we have taught you the basic theory it is necessary to practise applying it in many different situations and each topic will culminate with an end of topic test. You will extend your practical skills by building on your experience at GCSE. The practical work is an integral part of the course which is assessed and the result reported but does not count towards the final A Level grade.
