The AS Level has four topics you will need to cover and these same topics are covered in more detail at A Level.
If you are opting to take the practical endorsement, you will be expected to be able to use certain apparatus and techniques. These will be covered within the course but if you feel you need any hand-on experience, it may be worth contacting your exam centre to see if they can provide a session before the exam.

There are two exams for the AS Level qualification. The length of each exam is 1 hour 30 minutes long.
This A’ Level Chemistry course forms part of the linear qualifications. This means that learners will sit exams for their particular qualification at the end of the completed course in the June series.
You will not be able to carry forward your AS qualification to the A’ Level qualification as they are now classed as entirely independent qualifications and you will sit either AS or A’ Level exams.
Practical Assessment
Assessment of practical skills in the AS specification will be by written exams only. Therefore the practical endorsement does not apply to the AS specification. At least 15% of the marks for the AS Chemistry qualification will require the assessment of practical skills through written exams only.
For the Full A Level, practical assessments have been divided into those that can be assessed in written exams and those that can only be directly assessed whilst learners are carrying out experiments.
A-level grades will be based only on marks from written exams. A separate endorsement of practical skills can be taken alongside the A-level.

A Level Chemistry is one of the harder A Levels, however if you enjoyed GCSE Chemistry and are comfortable with Maths then this subject should be no problem at all. The subject itself requires you as a learner to practise as much as possible and we would encourage you to ask for help early on if required.
You will not be required to purchase any books with this course. We automatically include logins to our online e-Library which includes access to eBooks such as:
AQA A-Level Chemistry Book 1 (Hachette Learning) – Alyn G. McFarland, Teresa Quigg, Nora Henry
AQA A-Level Chemistry Book 2 (Hachette Learning) – Alyn G. McFarland

If you love research and have an inquisitive mind, then A Level Chemistry may be the course for you. Many students who study this subject also undertake A Level Biology and A Level Mathematics, which gives you a broad spectrum of studies, which can take you in any direction, whether it be medical, environmental or the law route.
AS and A levels are standalone qualifications, however the Full A Level carries more UCAS points than the AS Level. It also requires more study hours as follows:
AS Level = 180 hours
A Level = 360 hours
You will see the difference in the content above under ‘syllabus’ but you can also refer to our article on ‘what is as level’ for more information.
You will receive access and support for two years, however you can complete it much sooner if you want to. Exams for this subject fall in May/June each year and therefore you are able to choose which exam sitting you want to apply for. We have more information on exam timetables here.
