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 FOR CHEMISTRY PRACTICAL
Paper 3 (Practical) is weighted to 23% of the total CIE AS Level assessment.
One question will be an observational problem in which the candidate will be asked to investigate an unknown substance or substances by specified experiments. The substances may be elements, compounds or mixtures. Candidates will be expected to record their observations, analyse their results and draw appropriate conclusions.
The other question or questions will be quantitative: either volumetric analysis or measurement of a quantity, e.g. the enthalpy change of a reaction, mass change on heating, changing the rate of a reaction or measuring a gas volume. Candidates will be expected to draw suitable tables, graphs and other appropriate means of presenting the data. They will analyse the data, perform calculations and draw appropriate conclusions from them.
One or more of the questions may require candidates to comment on the accuracy of the procedure or identify sources of error and make suggestions for change.
Candidates should be able to:
• set up apparatus
• follow instructions given in the form of written instructions or diagrams
• use their apparatus to collect an appropriate quantity of data or observations, including subtle differences in colour, solubility or quantity of materials
• make measurements using pipettes, burettes, measuring cylinders, thermometers and other common laboratory apparatus.
It will be assumed that candidates will be familiar with the following qualitative analysis reactions
(i) the reactions of the following cations: NH4 + , Mg2+, Al 3+, Ca2+, Cr3+, Mn2+, Fe2+, Fe3+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Ba2+
(ii) the reactions of the following anions: CO3 2–, NO3 – , NO2 – , SO4 2–, SO3 2–, Cl – , Br– , I –
(iii) tests for the following gases: NH3, CO2, Cl 2, H2, O2.
In qualitative experiments, precise descriptions and comparisons of colour or other observations are expected. In a titration with a good end-point, candidates are expected to record two titres within 0.10cm3 .
You can book (at least 7 days in advance) any of the following slots for your science practical training:
PRACTICAL TRAINING SCHEDULE
IMPORTANT POINTS TO NOTE:
The above is the ideal schedule for students who want to excel in their CIE CHEMISTRY practical exams, 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.

O-LEVEL CHEMISTRY 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 O-LEVEL CHEMISTRY 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. Titration, e.g. acid-base titration (with suitable indicators such as methyl orange, screened methyl orange,
and thymolphthalein). Other types of titrations may also be required, and where appropriate, sufficient
working details will be given.
2. Speeds of reaction that may involve measuring of quantities, e.g. temperature, volume, length, mass or time
measurements
3. Experiments involving separation techniques such as simple paper chromatography, filtration and distillation
4. Salt preparation
5. Gas collection
6. Qualitative inorganic analysis involving an element, a compound or a mixture, including displacement
reactions and tests for oxidising and reducing agents. Candidates should be familiar with the reactions
of cations, reactions of anions and tests for gases as detailed in the Notes for Qualitative Analysis.
Candidates would not be required to carry out tests involving Pb2+ ions or sulfur dioxide gas.
Reactions involving ions not included in the Notes for Qualitative Analysis may be tested: in such cases,
candidates will not be expected to identify the ions but only to draw conclusions of a general nature.
Candidates should not attempt tests, other than those specified, on substances, except when it is
appropriate to test for a gas.
7. Qualitative organic analysis requiring a knowledge of simple organic reactions as outlined in Section VI,
e.g. test-tube reactions indicating the presence of unsaturation (C=C) may be set, but this would be for
the testing of observation skills and drawing general conclusions only.

CIE & IGCSE LEVEL PRACTICAL PHYSICS, CHEMISTRY, BIOLOGY PRACTICAL
GET ‘A’ for CAMBRIDGE INTERNATIONAL CIE & IGCSE LEVEL PRACTICAL PHYSICS / CHEMISTRY / BIOLOGY PRACTICAL
Improve your chances of getting an A for your science courses for IGCSE and CIE by doing well in your practical.
Do well in your practical exams and you are on the way to achieve your targeted grade.
20 % to 23 % of your final grade can be obtained from your practical.
We provide training/coaching and also conduct mock exams for science practical before your actual exam. This can help iron out some mistakes that you might otherwise do in the actual exams.
Practise for your practicals with us. Our experienced tutors will guide you and help you achieve speed and precision in your practical.
You can also prepare for your practicals by taking part in our mock practical exams. Our experienced tutors will observe how you do your practicals within the stipulated time in exam-like conditions. They will then go through the practical paper and give you tips on how to save time, avoid common errors and improve accuracy of your results.
We are equipped for all the 3 sciences and take in a maximum of only 4 students per lab session. This gives a small tutor:student ratio and maximises student learning.

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. Thus you must begin your science practical training before April. 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 by 31st April for us to certify that you have attended science practical training. As students usually do about 10 practical sessions per subject to be competent in practicals, the rest of the lab sessions can be done from May to early October, including the prelim/mock practical exams.
For Practical courses, mock exams or schedules, please click on any of the following:
Note: Our practical fees are lowest for practicals done in the Jan-Mar period. So sign up now!
O-LEVEL PHYSICS PRACTICAL
O-LEVEL CHEMISTRY PRACTICAL
O-LEVEL BIOLOGY PRACTICAL
Note: 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.
