Every route develops physical, inorganic and organic chemistry alongside mathematical, analytical and practical skills.
Qualification code: 7405
AQA organises content into physical, inorganic and organic chemistry, with practical and mathematical skills assessed across the course.
Qualification code: 9CH0
The Pearson course develops conceptual chemistry and practical skills, with synoptic assessment and questions using experimental and data-based contexts.
Chemistry A: H432 · Chemistry B (Salters): H433
Chemistry A follows a concept-led structure. Chemistry B (Salters) develops ideas through contemporary chemical contexts and storylines.
Build connected understanding
High-level Chemistry questions often combine calculations, mechanisms, practical evidence and explanations from several topics.
Secure moles, energetics, kinetics, equilibria, acids and electrochemistry through both calculation and explanation.
Organise observations, equations and trends so unfamiliar questions can be reasoned through rather than memorised.
Connect mechanisms, conditions, synthesis routes and analytical evidence into complete chemical arguments.
