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 O-LEVEL PHYSICS PRACTICAL
Paper 3 (Practical) is weighted to 20% of the assessment.
Candidates are expected to have been exposed to a range of topics and experimental techniques such as:
1. measurements of length, time interval, temperature, volume, mass and weight using appropriate
instruments
2. determination of the density of a liquid, or of a regularly or irregularly shaped solid which sinks in
water
3. determination of the value of the acceleration of free fall
4. investigation of the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces
5. the principle of moments
6. determination of the position of the centre of gravity of a plane lamina
7. investigation of the factors affecting thermal energy transfer
8. determination of heat capacities of materials and latent heat of substances
9. the law of reflection
10. determination of the position and characteristics of an optical image formed by a plane mirror or a
thin converging lens
11. the refraction of light through glass blocks
12. the principle of total internal reflection
13. the focal length of lenses
14. determination of the speed, wavelength and frequency of waves
15. measurements of current and voltage by using appropriate ammeters and voltmeters
16. determination of the resistance of a circuit element using appropriate instruments
17. investigation of the magnetic effect of current in a conductor
18. investigation of the effects of electromagnetic induction
This is not intended to be an exhaustive list. Candidates are expected to be familiar with the use of dataloggers.
OUR STRUCTURED PRACTICAL TRAINING SYSTEM
Based on the above syllabus, we have several structured programs for you, depending on whether you are a Beginner or a Reviser.
You are at the Beginner level if you have never done any Physics Practical work before, or your last Physics Practical session was more than 2 years ago.
You are at the Reviser level if you have completed the Beginner practicals, or you are re-taking your Physics Practical exam, or you are a school candidate who has completed Sec 3.

Training session fee: $220 per session
Mock exam fee: $280 per session
What you will get at each practical session:
(1) Teaching and instruction on how to use the various scientific tools and instruments.
(2) Tips on how to answer a practical worksheet or exam paper, including recording of observations, drawing graphs, writing conclusions, describing precautions and planning a practical.
(3) Notes on important aspects of science practicals.
We will also conduct Mock Practical Exams in September and October
HOW TO BOOK A LAB SESSION:
(1) Decide which Program or Lab sessions you need or most suitable for.
(2) Whatsapp or Message our staff at 9786 0411 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: $220
Mock Exam:- $280
(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. No refund will be given should you fail to turn up.
