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. 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 for us to certify that you have attended science practical training. Please note students usually do about 10 practical sessions per subject to be competent in practicals.

HANDS-ON H2 CHEMISTRY PRACTICAL REVISION

MOE/SEAB SYLLABUS FOR H2 CHEMISTRY PRACTICAL

Paper 4 (Practical) is weighted to 20% of the Higher 2 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 (using suitable indicators such as methyl orange, screened methyl orange, thymolphthalein, and thymol blue), redox titration, iodimetric titration, indirect titration, including the preparation of standard solutions. Other types of titrations may also be required.
  2. Gravimetric analysis, e.g. volatilization gravimetry
  3. Gas collection
  4. Thermochemistry, including thermometric titration
  5. Chemical kinetics, e.g. continuous and initial rate methods
  6. Qualitative Inorganic analysis involving an element, a compound or a mixture. Systematic analysis will not be required. Candidates should be familiar with the reactions of cations, anions, and tests of gases as detailed in the Qualitative Analysis Notes. Reactions involving ions not included in the QA notes 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 inorganic analysis requiring a knowledge of simple organic reactions e.g. test-tube reactions indicating the presence of unsaturation ( C = C), alcoholic, phenolic, carbonyl, carboxyl and amino groups, may be tested, but this would be for the testing of observation skills and drawing general conclusions only
  8. Simple organic synthesis and purification, including use of water bath, setting up and the use of reflux and distillation apparatus

MOCK EXAMS FOR SCIENCE PRACTICAL (JUNE TO OCT)


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.

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 87762711 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: $320

Mock Exam:- $380

SPECIAL DISCOUNT FOR ADDITIONAL SUBJECT: For every H2 Physics lab session you book, you can also book a H2 Chemistry lab session for only $270 (usual fee: $320). To view our H2 Chem schedule, click the link below:

H2 CHEMISTRY PRACTICAL

Note: Above fees are subject to changes without prior notice.

 

IMPORTANT : 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. PLEASE NOTE IF YOU ARE ABSENT FOR A LAB SESSION, A PENALTY OF $50 MUST BE PAID TO POSTPONE THIS LAB TO ANOTHER SESSION, AND ONLY 1 POSTPONEMENT IS ALLOWED FOR EACH LAB, ELSE THE LAB IS CONSIDERED COMPLETED AND PAID FOR, AND NO REFUND WILL BE GIVEN. THE FEE FOR THE MISSED LAB CANNOT BE USED FOR ANOTHER LAB.
