Rapid recall · International AS Level
International AS Level Chemistry React15
First-year International AS recall decks for Cambridge and Edexcel International. The step up from iGCSE is mostly a step up in precision, and these are written to that standard.
Written for Cambridge (CIE) and Edexcel International.
Why it matters
Why this matters at International AS
- International AS definitions are marked strictly - first ionisation energy, mean bond enthalpy, dynamic equilibrium. Nearly right earns nothing.
- The volume of content arrives faster than at iGCSE, so gaps compound quietly unless something surfaces them each week.
- Everything here is assumed knowledge in the second year. Time spent making AS content automatic is not revision, it is groundwork.
Topic decks
The International AS Level course, deck by deck
One deck per topic area, so you can work on the thing you are actually stuck on rather than shuffling the whole specification together. This is the shape of the International AS Level course and what each deck has to cover.
Decks are being written and uploaded now. Search the catalogue to see exactly what has landed so far.
Atomic structure
Mass spectrometry, ionisation energies, electron configuration, orbitals
Amount of substance
The mole, ideal gas equation, empirical formulae, titration calculations
Bonding
Electronegativity, shapes of molecules, intermolecular forces, bond polarity
Energetics
Enthalpy changes, calorimetry, Hess's law, mean bond enthalpies
Kinetics
Collision theory, Maxwell-Boltzmann distributions, catalysts
Equilibria
Dynamic equilibrium, Le Chatelier, Kc and its manipulation
Redox
Oxidation states, half-equations, balancing redox reactions
Periodicity & Groups 2 and 7
Trends across Period 3, alkaline earth metals, the halogens
Introductory organic
Nomenclature, isomerism, alkanes, halogenoalkanes, alkenes, alcohols
Organic analysis
Infrared spectroscopy, mass spectra, identifying functional groups
A routine that works at International AS Level
Run the International AS deck for the topic you are currently taught, plus one older deck chosen at random. The second one is what stops first-term content quietly disappearing across Cambridge and Edexcel International papers.
