International AS/A-level Chemistry Topic Tests
Use our Topic Tests to check your students understanding of key areas of the International A-level Chemistry curriculum. These tests, created by senior examiners to ensure effective subject coverage, come with mark schemes and cover sheets.
Marked exemplars
Prepare your students in exam technique with the help of exemplar student answers and examiner commentaries that show how examiners interpret the mark scheme.
Please note: these Marked Exemplars apply to the original version 4.1 of the specification. June 2020 and subsequent papers will include only specific aspects of Physical Chemistry as listed in the revised specification.
Command words
Help students prepare for their exams by accessing definitions to command words used in exams and other assessed tasks.
Subject specific vocabulary
Ensure that everyone is using scientific language correctly with this list of word definitions used in our international A-level science specifications and exam papers (based on ‘The Language of Measurement’ produced by the Association of Science Education).
International A-level Chemistry Fundamental Skills Booklet
Prepare for your year ahead by accessing the essential information you need to deliver the International A-level Chemistry specification. Learn more about each of the ‘fundamental skills’ of A-level Chemistry – the skills that students need to be able to demonstrate to be successful in that subject. They are related to, but separate from, knowledge of the subject content.
Practical Handbook
Get all the help you need to undertake practicals with your class. This guide harmonises the rules and guidance for A-level Chemistry and includes a full glossary of terms.
This Practical Handbook has been modified to accompany the latest version of the specification.
