Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Chemistry course planner cover?

Every topic in the live Learning Portal's own Chemistry structure — 10 topics in total, from "Atomic Structure and the Periodic Table" through "Using Resources" — plus assessment checkpoints and a past paper practice block near the end of your plan.

Are the topic hours official AQA GCSE figures?

No. AQA GCSE doesn't publish an official hours-per-topic breakdown for this subject, and the Learning Portal lists the same subtopic count for every topic here — so rather than fabricate a false sense of precision, hours are split equally across all 10 topics. Treat this as a plainer starting point, not a claim that every topic takes equal effort.

What if I have less time than the plan needs?

The plan shows a "Feasible" or "Tight" badge comparing your available weekly hours to the total target. If it's tight, increase your weekly study hours, move your start date earlier, or reduce the past paper years target — the plan regenerates instantly.

Does this link to real lessons, not just a generic homepage?

Yes. Any week that covers a single topic links straight to that topic's real page in the Tutopiya Learning Portal — notes, video lessons, quizzes and past papers for that exact topic, not just the subject's front page.

Can I export this course plan?

Yes — after a one-time free sign-up, export to an Excel-ready CSV, a printable PDF, or a calendar file (.ics) you can import into Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Outlook.
