What AQA A-Level Chemistry covers

AQA A-Level Chemistry (specification 7405) is assessed by three written papers taken at the end of the two-year course, each lasting 2 hours. Paper 1 covers inorganic chemistry and most of physical chemistry, and Paper 2 covers organic chemistry with the physical topics that underpin it, both carrying 105 marks. Paper 3 carries 90 marks and can draw on any content, with questions on practical techniques and data analysis alongside multiple choice. Practical skills are assessed across all three papers and separately through the practical endorsement.

Spaced Repetition Schedule

How reviews are timed

Levo will automatically distribute all of your progress into a spaced repetition calendar. Once you’ve answered, it’s scheduled for you on the next day in the spaced repetition schedule. Over time, the gaps between your recall get bigger, from a day to three years, reinforcing memorisation over a long period of time.

Chemistry revision questions

Common questions about revising AQA A-Level Chemistry. Tap any to open it.

How do you memorise AQA A-Level Chemistry?

By testing yourself, not rereading. Active recall, pulling each answer from memory then checking it, builds far stronger memory than highlighting notes. Levo runs the method for you across all 18 Chemistry topics and brings each one back on a spaced schedule so it stays memorised.

What is the fastest way to revise Chemistry for AQA?

Skip the long notes and go straight to retrieval. Levo turns the 7405 specification into short questions you drill with rapid recall, cram whole papers in one sitting, and a readiness score tells you exactly what is left to learn.

What topics are on AQA A-Level Chemistry (7405)?

There are 18 topics, split across 168 subtopics, from Atomic Structure, Amount of Substance, Bonding and more. Every topic is listed above, and each one opens to the subtopics inside it.

What do you get inside Levo for Chemistry?

Six ways to work the same material. The 3-step method for learning a set, Cram for sorting a whole paper into what you know and what you do not, Blank Blitz for making key facts automatic, Build It for assembling full-mark answers, Test It for catching misconceptions, and Brain Breaks between sessions. A readiness score tracks how much of the subject you have memorised.

Is active recall better than rereading your notes for Chemistry?

Consistently, yes. Rereading feels productive but fades quickly. Retrieving an answer from memory, the way Levo tests you, is what actually forms durable memory, and it shows you honestly what you do and do not know.

Does Levo cover the whole AQA Chemistry specification?

Every topic on the 7405 specification is covered, written from the published subject content. The full list is above, and each topic opens to its subtopics so you can see exactly what is there before you subscribe.

How can you encourage your teenager to revise?

Make it short, structured and low-pressure. Levo gives a clear daily plan, quick sessions rather than marathon ones, streaks that reward showing up, and an honest readiness score, so revision feels like progress instead of a chore. Parents can add an account and follow along.

Can you revise Chemistry the night before an exam?

Yes. Cram mode is built for exactly that: fly through a whole paper, sort every topic into red, amber and green, then drill just the reds and ambers you do not know yet. It is the honest version of a last-minute session.

Every question in Chemistry, on a schedule.

Attempt a question from memory, write the correct version, then attempt it again. Levo records the jump between your first attempt and your last, and brings each question back on the day you are due to forget it.
