what are the key GCSE concepts required for A Level chemistry? i know most of the GCSE content is important for A-Levels but are there any specific topics that I need to know before school starts?

Just make sure you are good with quantitative side of GCSEs chemistry, brush up on your dot & cross diagrams and knowledge of the atomic structure/periodic table. Other than that, most of the concepts are not too hard, just visit your notes from time to time, ask questions in lessons (A-level chemistry is heavily based on application so the theory is fundamental) and make sure to do past paper questions.

It’s fun. Good luck

Thank you, that was really helpful! Can i just ask, are you doing A levels now or have you finished?

I’m going into year13, if you have any other questions I’d be happy to answer

@ShadowHokage same. What are you planning on studying at uni ?

Good luck for Year 13. I've just finished and am going to university this year. If you have any specific questions, I'm happy to help.

Congratulations🥳, what university& course will be studying?

I don’t have any questions for now but if I have any later I will ask. Many thanks

Thank you. I will be studying Chemistry at Cardiff University.

No problem. Feel free to ask any questions, whenever.
