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.


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.
