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

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:
- 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.
- Gravimetric analysis, e.g. volatilization gravimetry
- Gas collection
- Thermochemistry, including thermometric titration
- Chemical kinetics, e.g. continuous and initial rate methods
- 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.
- 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
- Simple organic synthesis and purification, including use of water bath, setting up and the use of reflux and distillation apparatus

H2 CHEMISTRY PRACTICAL
CIE A-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.
*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:

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.
