A level ChemistryPOS 2016-2017

Students studying Year 2 of the A level Chemistry will be studying 2modules this year. There is no coursework element in the new specification, however students are expected to complete a minimum of 12 assessed practical tasks (PAGs). The assessment of practical skills is a compulsory requirement of the course of study for A level qualifications in chemistry. It will appear on all students’ certificates as a separately reported result, alongside the overall grade for the qualification.
