This course is suitable for students enrolled into the single science Chemistry syllabus. It is not suitable for those doing the Science or Additional Science examinations. Core subjects will be covered. Some topics vary between different boards. It is therefore critical students specify which board and syllabus they are enrolled into so these topics can be revised.

The core topics from the three units that constitute the syllabus will be revised with the extensive use of past examination papers.
