RETAKING YOUR O-LEVELS? JOIN US.
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 15th 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.

CRASH COURSES (JUNE TO OCT):
H2 CHEMISTRY HANDS-ON PRACTICAL CRASH COURSE
H2 BIOLOGY HANDS-ON PRACTICAL CRASH COURSE
H2 PHYSICS HANDS-ON PRACTICAL CRASH COURSE
PAST TOPICS OF H2 PHYSICS PRACTICAL:
2022: Oscillation (slotted masses hanging from a string), W.E.P, Electricity (not potentiometer)
2023:
The first question (14m) was on circuits, construct a circuit with a wire-jockey potentiometer and a fixed resistor in parallel, then vary the fixed resistors (we were given 5 in total) while adjusting the length of the wire in contact with the jockey to keep the ammeter reading in the circuit constant.
The second question (8m) was on oscillations, where there was a short stick with two metal balls hanging from it by strings, and a diagonal stick crossing the strings which allowed the length of string to be varied and hence the period of oscillation.
The third question (22m) was on forces where students had to build a cantilever by hanging one edge of a meter rule off the table while the other edge remained on the table, and placing weights on it to find the balance point, then do calculations.
The planning question was on measuring background radioactivity count rate for different distances from a building and from the ground.
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.

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 .

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.
