666666;">What will I be examined on?

666666;">The two assessment objectives in Chemistry are:

666666;">AO1 Knowledge and understanding

666666;">In the examination, students will be tested on their ability to:

666666;">• Recognise, recall and show understanding of specific chemical facts, terminology, principles, concepts and practical techniques including aspects of safety.

666666;">• Draw on existing knowledge to show understanding of the ethical, social, environmental, economic and technological applications and implications of chemistry.

666666;">• Select, organise and present relevant information clearly and logically, using appropriate vocabulary.

666666;">AO2 Application of knowledge and understanding, analysis and Evaluation

666666;">In the examination, students will be tested on their ability to:

  • 666666;">Describe, explain and interpret phenomena, effects and ideas in terms of chemical principles and concepts, presenting arguments and ideas clearly and logically.
  • 666666;">Interpret and translate data presented as continuous prose or in tables, diagrams, drawings and graphs, from one form to another.
  • 666666;">Carry out relevant calculations.
  • 666666;">Apply chemical principles and concepts in solving problems in unfamiliar situations, including those related to the ethical, social, economic and technological applications and implications of chemistry.
  • 666666;">Assess the validity of chemical information, experiments, inferences and statements and make informed judgements from them.
  • 666666;">AO3 Investigative skills

666666;">In the assessment of these practical skills, students will be tested on their ability to:

  • 666666;">Devise and plan investigations, drawing on chemical knowledge and understanding in selecting appropriate techniques.
  • 666666;">Demonstrate and describe appropriate experimental and investigative methods, including safe and skilful practical techniques.
  • 666666;">Make observations and measurements with appropriate precision, record these methodically, and present them in a suitable form.
  • 666666;">Analyse and interpret data to draw conclusions from experimental activities which are consistent with the evidence, using chemical knowledge and understanding, and to communicate these findings using appropriate specialist vocabulary, relevant calculations and graphs.
    Evaluate data and methods.

666666;">We have deliberately designed the course to make it as relevant to the demands of the specification as possible with lots of self-assessment exercises for you to carry out prior to you taking the Tutor Marked Assignments. These are assignments which you will send them to your tutor and receive feedback on to improve your knowledge and skills in handling examination questions.
