Assessment
A Level Chemistry is a linear qualification; assessments will take place at the end of the two year course. Students will be expected to carry out practical activities. Although the actual practicals do not contribute to the final grade, questions within written examination papers will aim to assess the knowledge and understanding that students gain while carrying out practical activities. At the end of the course, based on successful completion of core practicals, a Teacher Assessed Competency Grade will be reported alongside the final grade. The A Level exam consist of 3 papers. Paper 1: (9CH0/01) Advanced Inorganic and Physical Chemistry Paper 2: (9CH0/02) Advanced Organic and Physical Chemistry, each of these papers is 1 hour 45 minutes (90 marks each), and is 30% of the total qualification. Paper 3: (9CH0/03) General and Practical Principles in Chemistry. This paper is 2 hours and 30 minutes (120 marks), is 40% of the total qualification. Half of the questions will teststudents’ knowledge and understanding of practical skills and techniques.
