Chemistry

Assessment

HOW WILL I BE ASSESSED? End of Year 13: Periodic table, elements and physical chemistry (Modules 1, 2, 3, 5). 100 marks. 2 hr 15 mins. (37%) Synthesis and analytical techniques (Modules 1, 2, 4, 6). 100 marks. 2 hr 15 mins. (37%) Unified Chemistry (Modules 1-6). 70 marks. 1 hr 30 mins. (26%) Each paper has a mixture of multiple-choice, short and long answer questions which include a range of maths skills. Practical skills will also be assessed through the ‘Practical endorsement in chemistry’. This is not an exam. Instead, your teacher will assess whether or not you have adequately completed the skills required in 12 class practicals. This will then be reported as a pass or fail on your final A Level certificate but will not affect your grade.
