AS/ A-Level chemistry
Is your child trying to improve their grade in chemistry?
Is your child encountering challenges in transitioning from GCSE to AS-Level Chemistry? Are they grappling with motivation and showing signs of disengagement from the course? Is the academic content proving to be a hurdle, reflecting in their performance within classroom sessions and assessments? Are there specific topics have become stumbling blocks in their understanding of the subject?
In the event that your child's mock examination results are less than satisfactory, a strategic intervention becomes vital in order to enhance their performance in anticipation of the critical Year 12 examinations, which often serve as a foundation for UCAS predicted grades. This becomes particularly important for students with conditional UCAS offers, where achieving a specified grade in chemistry is essential to securing admission into their preferred academic course.
At vision tuition you can be sure that you are in good hands with outstanding chemistry tuition. You can be confident that your tutor can instil confidence and raise educational attainment by tailoring their teaching approaches to the needs of your child.
Differences between AS-Level and A-Level Chemistry?
AS-Level
A-Level
A-Level
AS-Level Chemistry, often taken in the first-year of the advanced level study, covers foundational concepts and principles of chemistry. It provides students with a solid understanding of essential chemical theories, such as atomic structure, chemical bonding, energetics, kinetics, and chemical equilibrium. Practical laboratory skills are also emphasised, allowing students to develop their ability to design experiments, analyse data, and draw conclusions. During the first-year students will collect evidence of the experiments carried out and the skills they have obtained.
Some schools will enter students into public exams and students will obtain an AS-level certificate whereas some schools will give internal exams instead which are marked by their teachers. Many schools will use the AS-Level grade to form a predicted grade for UCAS applications.

A-level Chemistry, when including AS-Level studies, will last for two years. The year two builds upon the foundations laid in AS Chemistry content and delves deeper into more complex and advanced topics. Students explore subjects like organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, and analytical chemistry. The curriculum will cover content in areas such as reaction mechanisms, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, acids and bases, and spectroscopy.
A significant portion of the A-level course includes practical work from various topics which is written up and collected as evidence in a folder. This encourages students to apply their theoretical knowledge in laboratory settings. With the A-Level grade, students will obtain a pass or fail in their practical work which is called the ‘practical endorsement’.
