Frequently Asked Questions
Is chemistry A Level harder than physics?
Neither A Level chemistry or physics is specifically harder than the other - it depends on your individual strengths and learning styles. Each A Level presents its own challenges, such as a large emphasis on memory-based questions for chemistry, and a particular focus on mathematics in physics.
What is the hardest topic in A Level chemistry?
Different people will find different topics in A Level chemistry challenging. Many struggle with organic chemistry, while areas such as thermodynamics and equilibrium also pose significant challenges. If there’s an area you’re worried about, you should spend extra time revising it before your exam.
What grade is 70% in A level chemistry?
Grade boundaries change depending on the exam board, but as a general rule of thumb, if you score over 90%, you could expect to achieve an A*. Scores between 70% and 79% would usually score a B.
