Chemistry

Assessment

You will be assessed throughout the year through a series of formative assessment methods, including mock exams and end of year progression assessments, to check you are keeping pace and understand the content taught. At the end of two years, you will sit 3 externally set examinations: Paper 1 Physical Chemistry (37% weighting); Paper 2 Analytical Chemistry (37% weighting); Paper 3 Unified Chemistry (26% weighting). To achieve the endorsement, you must successfully complete all PAGs, which are practical experiments with differing skill sets. This demonstrates to universities that you are competent in the laboratory.
