A Level Chemistry

This course covers the Advanced Inorganic and Physical Chemistry – Paper 1, Advanced Organic and Physical Chemistry – Paper 2 and General and Practical Principles in Chemistry – Paper 3.  This is aimed at A Level Chemistry which must be covered by the end of Year 13. The exam at the end of year 13 covers papers 1, 2 and 3. Questions for papers 1 and 2 can be taken from either AS or A Level pure mathematics content. Paper 3 are questions from the full content and based on the practical aspects of the course.
