The new specification A Level Chemistry course requires students to complete all modules and be assessed on them all at the end of two years of study – i.e. in Year 13. The A Level is no longer formed of ‘AS’ plus ‘A2’. However, students can choose to study Chemistry for just one year (modules 1-4) and complete the relevant exams to attain an AS Level in Chemistry. Units Studied: Year 12 Content Students choosing to only study Chemistry to AS Level complete organic, inorganic and physical chemistry content alongside completing practical activities. Students will need to sit two exams, each an hour long. Inorganic with relevant physical chemistry is assessed in one paper, while organic with relevant physical chemistry is assessed in the second paper. Physical Chemistry The content of this module includes atomic structure, amount of substance, bonding, energetics, kinetics, chemical equilibrium and Le Chatelier’s principle. Inorganic Chemistry This module includes the study of: periodicity, group 2 alkaline earth metals and group 7 halogens. Organic Chemistry In this module, students learn about: introduction to organic chemistry, alkanes, halogen alkanes, alkenes, alcohols and organic analysis.
A minimum of seven grade 5s in full course GCSE subjects. Must obtain at least a grade 6 at GCSE in a relevant subject for the subjects being considered for A Level. Must have achieved grade 5 in English and Mathematics GCSE. A Level Mathematics requires a grade 7 at GCSE. Students require a minimum of a grade 5 in 7 different subjects at GCSE (or equivalent), including grade 6s in English (Literature or Language) and Mathematics, with at least a grade 6 in Chemistry separate science or a 6-6 in combined science.
Assessment of A Level Chemistry: Students will complete three examination papers, each of which is two hours in length. Inorganic with relevant physical chemistry is assessed in one paper worth 35%, while organic with relevant physical chemistry is assessed in the second paper worth 35%. Both papers contain a mixture of short and long answer questions. The third paper will assess all practical skills as well as all content; this is referred to as a ‘synoptic’ paper and is worth 30%. The final paper consists of questions on practical techniques and data analysis, content from across the specification and some multiple choice questions. The practical skills of students are assessed throughout the course, leading to a separate certificate called ‘Practical Endorsement
