Should students have studied any previous courses in order to take GCE Chemistry?
A. This specification is designed to promote continuity, coherence and progression within the study of Chemistry. The AS builds on (but does not depend upon) the knowledge, understanding and skills developed within GCSE Science: Chemistry, or GCSE Science: Double Award. The Advanced GCE specification incorporates the AS. The A2 section of the Advanced GCE builds upon the foundations of knowledge, understanding and skills developed within the AS and provides the basis for further study of Chemistry and related subjects.
