At A2 we continue with the Edexcel exam specification which has a good mix of traditional chemistry with contemporary and stimulating examples.

The A2 course builds on the material studied at AS and has considerably more quantitative material than the AS.  Unit 4 is taken in the January of the Upper Sixth and Unit 5 in June.  Unit 6 is again a Coursework Unit.  To achieve an A* grade students must achieve an A grade overall (480/600) and 270/300 on their A2 Units.
