In Year 12 you will cover topics ranging from atomic structure, bonding, inorganic chemistry and the periodic table to modern analytical techniques and energetics. Experimental chemistry will be taught throughout the topics with questions assessing conceptual and theoretical understanding of experimental methods in the exams. Throughout the second year you will embed and develop the content covered in the first year, while also gaining a deep understand of organic and inorganic chemistry.
You must meet the specific requirements for the subject and, as a minimum, achieve at least 5 GCSEs at level 5 or above, including English and Maths.
The two year A Level course has three exams, all of which are assessed at the end of the two years. Exam 1 is worth 37% covers advanced inorganic and physical chemistry. Exam 2 worth 37% covers advanced organic and physical chemistry. Exam 3 worth 26% covers general and practical principles in chemistry. The papers may include multiple choice, short open, open-response, calculations and extended writing questions. A separately reported practical endorsement certificate is awarded for candidates demonstrating sufficient skill in key areas.
