This specification allows teachers to adopt a flexible approach to the delivery of A Level Chemistry. The course has been designed to enable centers to deliver the content modules (Modules 2–6) using the framework provided or to design a customized course. Practical work done to support teaching of the content will serve to cover the requirements of the practical skills module (Module 1), which is assessed in written examinations and through the Practical Endorsement. The specification is divided into chemical topics, each containing different key concepts of chemistry. Certain topics are split over modules, to facilitate co-teaching of the AS Level qualification in Chemistry A with the first year of A Level. Centers that are not co-teaching this course with the AS Level may elect to teach these topics sequentially. Throughout the specification, cross-references indicate the relevance of individual learning outcomes to the mathematical and practical criteria that are embedded This specification incorporates the Ofqual GCE Subject Level Conditions and Requirements for Chemistry.

Grade 6 or above in Chemistry and one other science plus at least a Grade 5 in the third science or Grade 6:6 or above. Grade 5 or above in English Language and Mathematics.
Content is split into six teaching modules: • Module 1 – Development of practical skills in chemistry • Module 2 – Foundations in chemistry • Module 3 – Periodic table and energy • Module 4 – Core organic chemistry • Module 5 – Physical chemistry and transition elements • Module 6 – Organic chemistry and analysis Component 01 assesses content from modules 1, 2, 3 and 5. Component 02 assesses content from modules 1, 2, 4 and 6. Component 03 assesses content from all modules (1 to 6). Periodic table, elements and physical chemistry (01) 100 marks 2 hours 15 minutes written paper 37% of total A level Synthesis and analytical techniques (02) 100 marks 2 hours 15 minutes written paper 37% of total A level Unified chemistry (03) 70 marks 1 hour 30 minutes written paper 26% of total A level Practical Endorsement in chemistry (04) (non exam assessment) Reported separately (see Section 5)
