13 Chemistry 2

This is a rigorously academic course, which covers two Level 3 Chemistry External Achievement Standards along with two internal standards. This course is exactly the same as the 13CM1 course except there is one less external exam to learn and sit.

One less external standard is covered over the year when compared with 13CM1. This allows more time to be spent on the other two standards over the year to allow you longer to practise and develop your understanding. Taking this course will mean you have additional time in the NCEA exams to work on your two papers as you get 3 hours to complete 2 standards.

You will need skills gained in either 12CM1 or 12CM2, and algebraic skills from maths to be successful in this course.

This is likely the best course for you if you are taking chemistry to 

- keep your options open at uni, 

- if you are planning on studying a different science at uni but it recommends you take chemistry at high school, 

- if you are just taking it for fun as you enjoy it

- if you take subjects that result in missing lots of class time so have lower attendance at school

- if you find chemistry difficult 

- if you would like more time in class to do practicals, revise, reinforce learning, less homework,  increase your chances of getting merit or excellence,  increase your chances of getting University entrance (UE) or lower stress. 

If you wish to take the scholarship tutorial (1 period a week) you should enrol instead in the 13CM1 chemistry course.
