I have found specification checklists a very useful way of enabling my students to self-evaluate their knowledge of A-level Chemistry over a number of years. I have produced one for the OCR (B) exam board containing the abbreviated learning objectives for the main content part of the course 2d - Storylines. Students highlight the boxes to show how confident they feel with each topic using a traffic-light (RAG) system, and keep re-visiting it over time to hopefully show progress as understanding improves. I have also found it really useful as a tutor to ensure the weak areas have the most focus, but also over time to make sure all topics are covered for each tutee. I have taken care to ensure the content taken from the specification are accurate, but to reduce it down to a more manageable length I have abbreviated the learning objectives. Therefore I cannot guarantee that it is 100% error free.
