Every End of Year, some Integrated Programme students who are struggling will be given an option by the school to either retain, or drop to the O-level stream. For students who have dropped to the O-level stream, these classes are specifically crafted to train you to become a top student in the O-levels and regain your confidence.
IP schools who have a dual track system for O-levels and IP will recommend their struggling students to drop to the OP stream. For schools that are pure IP, there will be a talk given by school management and the student will be transferred to a special O-level class.
Here is our value proposition for IP students who have dropped to O-levels:
- Specific class structure catered to their needs. A pre-assessment will be done with the student to determine their current readiness level and how to address the missing gaps in knowledge, as well as to timetable their curriculum to prepare them for the O-levels. The typical IP student will skip or do some topics in advance, so these special classes are designed with them in mind such that we can address these needs and successfully prepare them to be an O-level top scorer, keeping in mind what they have covered in their IP years and their specific needs. The class is also designed to be small to build their confidence back up and for them to readily ask questions without judgment.
- The IP stream usually structures their assessment for practical/lab work in their sciences as a formative assessment instead of a full lab test. However, in the O-levels, the practical component is 15% of the final grade. This leaves IP students underprepared for the O-level practical component, given that they do not have sufficient practice for labwork at all under test conditions, and the lack of exposure will result in them losing significant marks if they are not confident in using their hands. Our centre is specifically designed with labwork in mind, and able to cater to practical mock tests or training at any student count per class. Without discount, each O-level practical is $190. An untrained student needs about 10 sessions per subject. Roughly once a month practical for each subject. As a student enrolled under SL’s theory classes, we offer a generous 50% discount for all practical training in Sciences for the O-level.
- We have experienced tutors who are familiar handling such students. As a specialized IP and practical centre, we have been catering to such students since the Integrated Programme has started back in the mid 2000s. We provide a safe and positive learning environment for students to train for the O-levels and be back on their feet in no time.

Why students choose Singapore Learner
-
Our teachers are highly qualified and very experienced, and we actually TEACH you good practical techniques.
-
We have been a one-stop comprehensive science practical centre providing solid practical training for ALL THREE sciences and for all levels and streams since 2017.
-
Our laboratory apparatus are exam-grade and the same as those used in MOE schools and our chemicals are all NEA-approved.
-
We have a structured practical training programme catering to the needs of both beginners and experienced students.
-
We have a maximum class size of just 5 students! Yes just 5 students at most, so that the teacher is able to observe the actions of each student more closely and demonstrate the correct practical techniques where and when necessary.
-
Beyond basic training, our lab sessions are FULL EXAM PAPERS consisting of 2 to 3 questions each of multiple topics, including the PLANNING question.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PRIVATE CANDIDATES
The registration for ‘A’ and ‘O’ Level exams as a private candidate usually opens around mid-April (Please check SEAB website) and closes before mid-May. If you are registering for a Science subject (Physics, Chemistry, Biology or Combined Sciences), at the time of registration, you will be asked whether you have done any science practical training in any school, centre, or institute. Science practical training in Singapore Learner qualifies as practical training for the purpose of registration for Science subjects for the ‘A’ and ‘O’ level exams.
Thus if you are considering Singapore Learner as your science practical training provider, you must register with us and complete at least 4 basic practical sessions for each subject for us to certify that you have attended science practical training. Please note students usually do about 10 practical sessions per subject to be competent in practicals.
For Practical courses, mock exams or schedules, please click on any of the following:
For training purposes, Pure and Combined Science students attend the same practical sessions as the syllabus for practicals is the same for both. The only difference between the two kinds of practicals is there are no Planning questions for Combined Science students. And like in MOE schools, each practical training session covers only 1 subject.

HOW TO BOOK A LAB SESSION:
(1) Decide which Program or Lab sessions you need or most suitable for, by visiting the webpages of the practical subjects you are interested in (if you can’t find the labs you want, Whatapps us at 87762711).
(2) Whatsapp or Message our staff at 87762711 with your Name, Private or School Candidate, A or O level, Subject or Lab Name (e.g Lab PP2), Date and Time of Lab. (Our staff will then guide you on how to register and make payment. If you are not sure about the lab sessions, just state your Name and the Subjects and we will get back to you)
(3) Register Online by clicking below:
(4) Pay Registration fee of $30 via Paynow or funds transfer.
(5) Make the required payment for each lab session at least 5 days before the date of the lab session. (You may also pay for several sessions at one go to ensure that you will have a place in future slots)
FEES PER SESSION
Practical Training Session: $190
Mock Exam:- $240
Note: Above fees are subject to changes without prior notice.
IMPORTANT : The full fee must be paid at least 5 days before the practical session to confirm your attendance as a lot of preparation is needed for practicals coupled with very limited class size. PLEASE NOTE IF YOU ARE ABSENT FOR A LAB SESSION, A PENALTY* OF $50 MUST BE PAID TO POSTPONE THIS LAB TO ANOTHER SESSION, AND ONLY 1 POSTPONEMENT IS ALLOWED FOR EACH LAB, ELSE THE LAB IS CONSIDERED COMPLETED AND PAID FOR, AND NO REFUND WILL BE GIVEN. THE FEE FOR THE MISSED LAB CANNOT BE USED FOR ANOTHER LAB.
*This is only for cases where we have been informed at least one day in advance. Otherwise no refund will be given.
