Practical Endorsement (CPAC, Twelve Required Practicals)

AS Level Chemistry carries a practical or non exam assessment component that many centres simply will not host for external candidates, because it makes the centre responsible for supervising, authenticating and assessing the work. At LMSC it is part of what we do every term, delivered in our own facilities by chemistry specialists and kept fully compliant with awarding body requirements.

That means you can sit Chemistry in full, rather than dropping it or travelling hours to find a centre that will take it.

  • Delivered in house at LMSC
  • Supervised and authenticated to board standards
  • Assessed by qualified subject specialists
  • Records maintained for the awarding body
  • Open to private and home educated candidates
Preparation and support

More Than a Desk for the Day

Because LMSC is a teaching college, you can pair your Chemistry entry with real preparation. Our specialists run focused revision and full mock exams, then translate your performance into honest, evidence based predicted grades and, where you need it, a UCAS reference.

It is the joined up route that a room hire exam centre cannot offer: prepare, sit and progress, all in one place.
