What the college says

The first teaching modules will cover the fundamental basics in theory and practical work which all good chemists should be familiar with. This will include topics on acids and bases, redox reactions, use of the mole concept, and structure and bonding within materials. Questions on this work may feature in ANY of the three final papers. The subject will then be divided into two strands broadly following the lines of inorganic/ physical chemistry in one and organic chemistry in the other. These will be tested separately in Papers 1 and 2. There will be much more emphasis than before on the links between the topic areas and a synoptic view to the subject. Paper 3 will require knowledge of the whole content and an ability to write at length. Practical work will no longer feature as a component within the A level, but will be recognised by a ‘pass or fail’ endorsement which will be published alongside the A level grade. This will involve doing 12 experiments, suggested by the board, in the context of the work carried out during normal lessons. These will be moderated by the board, but initially assessed by us.
