Introduction (for old OCR A level syllabus)

Follow this link to access the quizzes for the new AS/A2 syllabuses

This site contains revision exercises for students preparing for A level Chemistry examinations. All the exercises use JavaScript and work on Netscape Navigator version 3 or later and Internet Explorer version 4 or later, however, they do not work on Internet Explorer version 3. If you experience problems, please consult the problems page.

Most of the material on this site is designed for revision and practise. The site does not contain much in the way of explanations or introductory material, since all of this can be obtained from a text book.

The information on this site is referenced using the module titles from the OCEAC modular Chemistry A level; the content of the modules is indicated in more detail below for those studying a different A level syllabus.

Quizzes for Chains & Rings and Environmental Chemistry are available online and for downloading as self-extracting archives. Use of these quizzes is covered by the copyright notice.

Quizzes for the Foundation Module and Trends & Patterns are available for downloading as self-extracting archives once you have purchased the appropriate licence.
