A Level Chemistry

The A Level Chemistry (9701) syllabus explores fundamental concepts in Physical, Inorganic, and Organic Chemistry while emphasizing practical applications. Students develop skills in chemical analysis, reaction mechanisms, and data interpretation, essential for careers in medicine, engineering, environmental science, and pharmaceutical research.

Through rigorous coursework and hands-on practical assessments, students learn to conduct experiments, evaluate results, and apply theoretical principles to complex problems. The syllabus fosters critical thinking and problem-solving abilities, making it an ideal choice for students pursuing science-related fields.

Course Structure and Content

The A Level Chemistry (9701) course is divided into five papers content:

Paper  Content  Time assessment 
1 Multiple Choice (Theory) 1 hour 15 minutes
2 AS Level Structured Questions 1 hour 15 minutes
3 Advanced Practical Skills 2 hours
4 A Level Structured Questions 2 hours
5 Planning, Analysis & Evaluation 1 hour 15 minutes 

 

AS Level Chemistry Route

  • Route 1 (Paper 1, Paper 2, and Paper 3) – AS Level Only
    In this route, students take Paper 1 (Multiple Choice), Paper 2 (Structured Questions), and Paper 3 (Practical Assessment) within the same exam series. This option is for those completing the AS Level, which can either be a final qualification or serve as the first stage towards the full A Level.

A Level Chemistry Routes

  • Route 2 (Paper 1, Paper 2, Paper 3 in Year 1, and Paper 4, Paper 5 in Year 2) – A Level (Staged Over Two Years)
    This route allows students to take AS Level exams (Paper 1, Paper 2, and Paper 3) in the first year, then complete the full A Level in the second year by taking Paper 4 (A Level Structured Questions) and Paper 5 (Planning, Analysis & Evaluation). This approach provides a structured progression, allowing students to build a strong foundation before moving to advanced topics.

  • Route 3 (Paper 1, Paper 2, Paper 3, Paper 4, and Paper 5 in the Same Exam Series) – Full A Level in One Year
    In this route, students take all five papers in a single exam series, covering both AS and A Level contents. This option is ideal for students who are prepared for an intensive study approach and want to complete their qualification in a shorter timeframe.

Notes:

  • AS Level: Students who follow an AS Level route will be eligible for grades A to E and do not progress to A-Level.
  • A Level: Students following an A-Level route can achieve grades from A to E*, depending on their performance in both the AS and A-Level exams.

This structure provides flexibility for students to specialize in theoretical chemistry, laboratory research, and applied chemical sciences, depending on their academic and career aspirations in fields such as medicine, engineering, environmental science, and pharmaceuticals.
