Study options and assessment

Four hundred and forty-two original lessons map the published learning outcomes across AS Chemistry Topics 1–22 and A Level Topics 23–37, with guided, independent and transfer practice and explained answers. Every numbered subject-content topic and listed outcome tag now has a mapped lesson sequence. Topic 32 maps all 12 hydroxy-compound outcome tags in 11 lessons; Topic 33 maps all 15 carboxylic-acid and derivative outcome tags in 16 lessons; Topic 34 maps all 22 nitrogen-compound outcome tags in 20 lessons; Topic 35 maps all 12 polymerisation outcome tags in 16 lessons; Topic 36 maps all four organic-synthesis outcome tags in 14 lessons; Topic 37 maps all 22 chromatography and NMR outcome tags in 18 lessons. Cambridge's 2028–2030 Version 1 syllabus states that there are no significant changes which affect teaching from the preceding edition; the routes are aligned to that edition. This is 37 of the 37 numbered subject-content topics. Full cumulative exam assessment, Paper 3 laboratory competence, Paper 5 investigation practice and human subject-teacher review remain outstanding. Written practice is self-checked and does not certify exam readiness.

2025–2030 (the 2028–2030 syllabus has no significant teaching changes from 2025–2027)

View syllabus coverage

This map follows the official Cambridge International AS & A Level Chemistry 9701 syllabus for exams in 2028, 2029 and 2030 (Version 1, published September 2025). Cambridge states that there are no significant changes which affect teaching from the 2025–2027 edition. AS Topics 1–22 retain full mapped outcome coverage. A Level Topic 23 maps all 21 chemical energetics outcomes, Topic 24 maps all 18 electrochemistry outcomes, Topic 25 maps all 19 equilibria outcomes, Topic 26 maps all 19 outcomes in rate equations and catalysis, Topic 27 maps both Group 2 outcomes, Topic 28 maps all 37 transition-element outcomes in 18 original lessons, Topic 29 maps all 13 listed A Level organic-introduction outcomes in 12 original lessons, Topic 30 maps all 11 arenes outcomes in 13 original lessons, Topic 31 maps both halogen-compound outcomes in four original lessons, Topic 32 maps all 12 hydroxy-compound outcome tags in 11 original lessons, Topic 33 maps all 15 carboxylic-acid and derivative outcome tags in 16 original lessons, Topic 34 maps all 22 nitrogen-compound outcome tags in 20 original lessons, and Topic 35 maps all 12 polymerisation outcome tags in 16 original lessons; Topic 36 maps all four organic-synthesis outcome tags in 14 original lessons. Topic 37 maps all 22 analytical-technique outcome tags in 18 lessons. All 37 numbered subject-content topics have mapped teaching and practice. The AS/A Level assessment structure includes laboratory and investigation components; online theory and written exercises cannot demonstrate laboratory competence or replace full timed assessment. Human subject-teacher review remains pending.
