FOR THE LATEST SCHEDULE, CLICK ON
H2 BIOLOGY PRACTICAL
We provide A-Level / H2 and O-Level Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Science (Physics/Chemistry/Biology) Practical training for private / school candidates and homeschoolers, for both local (eg. H2, Singapore-Cambridge) and international exams (CIE, IGCSE). School candidates are also welcome.
MOE/SEAB SYLLABUS FOR H2 BIOLOGY PRACTICAL
Paper 4 (Practical) is weighted to 20% of the Higher 2 assessment.
Candidates are expected to have been exposed to a range of topics and experimental techniques such as:
- Dilution of stock solutions through both simple dilution and serial dilution.
- Microscopy which involves the proper use of the microscope for viewing specimen, calibration of eyepiece graticule, calculation of area of field of view, calculating mean density of specimen and finding the actual width of the specimen.
- Producing biological drawings at low-power and high-power as well as calculating the drawing magnification.
- Identify significant sources of error, limitations of measurements and/or experimental procedures used and explain how they affect the final result(s).
- State and explain how significant sources of errors/limitations may be overcome/reduced, as appropriate, including how experimental procedures may be improved.
- Graph-drawing e.g. best-fit line, best-fit curve, point-to-point graphs, bar graphs and histograms.
- Factors affecting rate of transport of substances e.g. diffusion and osmosis.
- Presence of biological molecules (food tests) e.g. test for reducing sugars (using suitable indicators such as benedict’s solution), test for non-reducing sugars (using acid hydrolysis), test for proteins (using suitable indicators such as biuret solution), test for lipids (using ethanol-emulsion test) and test for starch (using suitable indicators such as iodine).
- Factors affecting rate of enzyme-catalysed reactions.
- Factors affecting rate of respiration.
- Factors affecting the rate of photosynthesis.

Retaking A-Levels
FAQ
FAQ1: If I’m a private candidate re-taking the A-Levels, what is the minimum number of subjects I must take to get into a local university like NUS or NTU?
You only need to do GP and 3 H2 subjects. Total 4 subjects. You don’t need to redo your H1 content subject or PW or MT.
FAQ2: If I’m a private candidate doing the A-Levels for the first time, what is the minimum number of subjects I must take to get into a local university like NUS or NTU?
You’ll need to do 3 H2 subjects, 1 H1 content subject, GP and MT. Total 6 subjects.
FAQ3: If I’m a private candidate, what is the minimum number of subjects I must take to get into an overseas university like in the UK or Australia?
Most overseas universities accept just 3 H2 subjects. Even GP is not needed. However some universities may expect a fourth subject, which can be a H1 or H2 subject, but it is safer to take a H2 subject.
SCIENCE PRACTICAL TRAINING
We provide A-Level / H2 and O-Level Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Science (Physics/Chemistry/Biology) Practical Training for private / school candidates and homeschoolers, for both local (eg. H2, Singapore-Cambridge) and international exams (CIE, IGCSE). School candidates who need more FULL PRACTICAL PRACTICE are also welcome.
You may need science practical lessons if you are a private candidate who needs a science lab and apparatus as well as practical coaching, or you are a school candidate who needs more practical training or timed practice for a FULL PRACTICAL.

What happens at the end of Y4 IP?
After your final exam in Y4 IP, you will be streamed into different classes for Y5 and Y6 based on your competencies and Y4 subject combination. As a parent or student, you might ask, what options are made available to me? The following few paragraphs will illustrate to you the paths you can take from Y5 onwards.
Y5 follows the Junior College system, which grades subjects based on H1 and H2. In Y5, you are required to take the following, H1 General Paper, H1 project work, H1 Higher Mother Tongue (most students are exempted as long as they have passed higher mother tongue in O level), and last but not least, to decide on the 3H2,1H1 or the 4H2 combination.
What is the significance of 3H2, 1H1 versus 4H2? A subject taken at the H2 level is deeper as compared to taking it at the H1 level, and it also bears a more significant weight when it comes to calculation of rank points. IP students who wish to take the 4H2 combination would also typically have to maintain a 3.0GPA in most schools for Y4. Otherwise, you will have to take the 3H2, 1H1 combination.
What is the purpose of taking 4H2 then if it gives more workload? Typically, students taking the 4H2 combination would have a wider variety of H2 subjects to choose from, which will give them more choices in University. Some courses, such as Chemical Engineering, require the student to take H2 chemistry at Alevel as a pre-requisite. If a student has not taken chemistry as he has taken H2 physics, H2 Math and H2 Econs, they will not be allowed to make the choice of taking such a course at University and would have to settle for other courses such as mechanical engineering, as compared to a student who has taken the 4H2 combination such as H2 Physics, H2 Math, H2 Chem and H2 Econs, who can take almost all engineering courses. 4H2 combination also typically opens more doors to scholarships, and certain courses such as medicine would also require students to take 4H2.
So is taking 3H2,H1 bad? Not necessarily. By taking that combination, an IP student would have more time to focus on all of their subjects, and eventually even perform better than their peers at Alevels. Students who are very sure of their path in University and want to forgo the stress of handling 4H2s can opt for the 3H2, H1 plan as well. This leaves more time to attend to extra-curricular activities and also other actvities such as learning programming or other important skills that are valued in the workforce. The student can still stream into popular courses such as computer science, engineering, and sciences with only 3H2s.
If you have failed the promotional exams and feel very lost, please schedule a consultation with me ASAP.

Each course comes with its own diagnostics to help you to identify the root cause of your issues, be it inadequacies in content, unable to tackle the question fully or always not using the right words for the answers. Your work will also be fully assessed, and a full review will be done with you by the end of the class.
Students will also be exposed to 2 to 3 case studies and several essays across various topics with quality and assessed answers written by students. We believe it is more authentic rather than the school’s suggested answers since it was all done under timed conditions. After covering the fundaments learn in J1, we will also be touching on a few key topics in J2. This is especially useful for those who will be missing out first few months of studies in school due to orientation commitments or inter-school competitions.
It will be content intensive and include the following:-
– 1 hour content delivery and application,
– 30 mins of application and
– 30 mins of understanding examiners through live marking and examiners’ reports.
Choose any of the 3 days available on Wednesdays:- 29 Nov or 6 Dec or 27 Dec
