What CCEA A-Level Chemistry covers

CCEA A-Level Chemistry (601/8512/0, subject code 1110) is the Northern Ireland board's specification, first taught from September 2016. It is six units: three at AS and three at A2, with a written examination on the content of each of the four content units and a practical chemistry unit at each level assessed in two booklets, one worked in the laboratory and one in the examination hall. Nothing in the content is optional — every student studies all of it — and the AS content is assumed at A2 rather than repeated. Each written paper opens with ten multiple-choice questions and then a set of structured questions, so the subject rewards precise recall of definitions, colours and conditions as much as extended calculation.

How you work through it

Pick the mode that fits the time you have.

Try three questions

No account needed. Answer from memory first.

Your recallNot started
Key term

Explain why the molar mass of an element in g mol⁻¹ is numerically equal to its relative atomic mass.

Key term

9.75 g of zinc reacts with 3.20 g of sulfur to form zinc sulfide. Which reactant is in excess?

Numbers

Hydrated magnesium sulfate is found to be 51.1% water by mass. Calculate the number of moles of water of crystallisation.

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 CCEA A-Level Chemistry. Tap any to open it.

How do you memorise CCEA 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 36 Chemistry topics and brings each one back on a spaced schedule so it stays memorised.

What is the fastest way to revise Chemistry for CCEA?

Skip the long notes and go straight to retrieval. Levo turns the 1110 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 CCEA A-Level Chemistry (1110)?

There are 36 topics, split across 230 subtopics, from Formulae, Equations and Amounts of Substance, Atomic Structure, 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 CCEA Chemistry specification?

Every topic on the 1110 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.
