Where can I practise A-level Chemistry for free?
A-level Chemistry is assessed by three written exam papers at the end of the two-year course, with a separate practical endorsement based on the required practicals. It spans physical chemistry (atomic structure, energetics, kinetics, equilibria, acids and redox), inorganic chemistry (periodicity, Groups 2 and 7 and the transition metals) and organic chemistry. Grades run A* to E, and it is a core requirement for medicine and most physical-science and engineering degrees.

A-level Chemistry: your questions answered
How is A-level Chemistry assessed?
Three written papers at the end of Year 13 covering physical, inorganic and organic chemistry (one paper is usually synoptic), plus a separate practical endorsement reported as pass or not classified.
How much maths is in A-level Chemistry?
At least 20% of the marks assess mathematical skills — moles and concentration calculations, pH and Ka, rates, enthalpy and equilibrium constants — so confident algebra and logs really help.
What topics does A-level Chemistry cover?
Physical (atomic structure, amount of substance, bonding, energetics, kinetics, equilibria, acids and bases, redox and electrochemistry), inorganic (periodicity, Groups 2 and 7, transition metals) and organic chemistry (mechanisms, functional groups, isomerism and analysis).
What is the practical endorsement?
A pass/not-classified award based on the required practical activities. It does not add marks to your grade, but practical skills are assessed in the written papers.
Which exam board is this practice for?
The questions cover the shared core common to AQA, OCR and Edexcel; always check your own board's specification, data sheet and required practicals.
Where is A-level Chemistry required or accepted?
A-level chemistry is the one science that medicine, dentistry and pharmacy all name. Pharmacist: National Careers Service: 2 or 3 A levels including chemistry. Hospital doctor: National Careers Service: 3 A levels including biology and chemistry. Dentist: National Careers Service: 3 A levels including biology and chemistry.
