CIE A-LEVEL BIOLOGY PRACTICAL 2024

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.

*Enjoy huge discounts on fees if your lab sessions start in January! Send a message to 88765498 for details.


CIE SYLLABUS

Each paper has two or more questions and requires candidates to carry out an investigation or investigations.

They may be asked to:

– make decisions on techniques

– collect quantitative or qualitative data

– present the data or observations as tables, charts, graphs and other appropriate means

– make appropriate analyses, including making calculations

– make conclusions

– suggest improvements to the procedure or modifications for extending the investigation

One question requires candidates to carry out one activity using a light microscope.

They may be asked to:

– prepare slides

– make observations of specimens

– present their observations appropriately

– make appropriate analyses, including measurements and calculations

– make deductions and conclusions from the observations

This includes questions set in different areas of AS Level Biology, and may include material from unfamiliar contexts.

 


PRACTICAL TRAINING SCHEDULE

Practical Days: All days except Monday.

Practical Timings:

Tue & Wed: 10.30am-12.30pm | 2pm-4pm | 6pm-8pm (or later upon request)

Thu: 10.30am-12.30pm | 2pm-4pm

Sun: 12pm-2pm | 3pm-5pm | 6pm-8pm (or later upon request)


IMPORTANT POINTS TO NOTE:

The above is the ideal schedule for students who want to excel in their CIE Biology practical exams in OCTOBER, by starting in Jan and having a final practical revision or mock exam in Oct. The practical sessions are well spread out, giving students time to study the theory components as well as other subjects. Thus it is highly recommended that you commence your practical training in January.

However, if you are taking your CIE exams in MAY, you are advised to begin your practical training in November, so that you’d have enough time to comfortably complete 8 to 10 lab sessions by May.
