Where it starts.

Each project arrives with its purpose, milestones and first tasks written out. Here is how the first three read.

CAPE Chemistry syllabus, units and paper format check

Sixth form chemistry is examined as two separate units, each with three modules, its own papers and its own internal assessment, and older revision books often describe a syllabus that CXC has since revised. Download the current CAPE Chemistry syllabus before the first lesson, note how Paper 01, Paper 02 and the internal assessment work for each unit, and keep the module list in front of you for two years.

First tasks

  • Download the current CAPE Chemistry syllabus from the CXC website
  • List the Unit 1 and Unit 2 modules with their topics on one page
  • Write what each paper involves in your own words and check it with your teacher
  • Check the CXC website for syllabus amendments at the start of each school year @recurring(yearly)

Deciding when to sit Unit 1 and Unit 2

Most schools teach Unit 1 in lower sixth and Unit 2 in upper sixth, but some students sit both units in one year, resit a unit, or take only Unit 1 alongside other subjects. Each unit is a separate CAPE result, so the choice affects your workload, the subjects you can pair with chemistry and how much organic chemistry you meet before your first exam.

First tasks

  • Ask your chemistry teacher how the school normally enters students for each unit
  • Check whether your target programme asks for Unit 1, Unit 2 or both
  • Talk through the workload of each option with a parent or guardian
  • Confirm the registration deadline with the school's exams officer

Bridging from CSEC Chemistry to sixth form level

CAPE assumes you can already balance equations, write ionic formulae and handle mole calculations without hesitating, then moves straight on to orbitals, rate equations and equilibrium constants. Students who scraped through CSEC Chemistry, or who sat it two years ago, usually lose marks in the first term because of gaps underneath the new work.

First tasks

  • Write down the three CSEC chemistry topics you trust least
  • Work through ten CSEC past-paper questions on each weak topic
  • Redo a balancing and ionic formula check until you score ten out of ten
  • Ask your teacher for a short bridging test in the second week

Make it yours.

Install CAPE Chemistry, then tell Aurum the date you're aiming for. It checks whether the plan fits the weeks you actually have.
