![]() ![]() Even if the major topics make up 80% of the marks, you cannot afford to throw away 20% of the marks if you want a high grade. For example, with AQA, NMR does not feature on the major topics listed, but it is easy to add an NMR question worth a couple of marks onto almost any organic question- so you can be sure NMR will appear somewhere. The difference in number of marks between a major topic and a low tariff topic is not specified- so potentially there could be anything up to 5 or 6 marks on a topic not listed. The key part of the guidance used is this phrase: “Topics not included on the list may still appear in multiple-choice items, questions with a low tariff, or via synopticity.” So any topic could appear on a multiple choice or as a minor part of a question on another topic. If you choose not to revise certain topics that are not on the major topics list, you could end up with a lower grade. I think the help that these give at A-level Chemistry is questionable. ![]() These are meant to provide some help in preparing for the exams. ![]() All the exam boards have published advanced notice of the major topics that will be covered in this years exams. ![]()
