- AS Level (Paper 3 – Advanced Practical Skills): It is a hands-on, 2-hour practical exam worth about 23% of the AS Level grade, typically consisting of two questions testing manipulative, observational, and graphical skills, for a total of 40 marks.
- A Level (Paper 5 – Planning, Analysis, and Evaluation): It is a theory-based 1-hour-15-minute written paper assessing experimental design, data analysis, error handling, and graphical conclusions with no hands-on component.
- Private Candidates: To obtain A-Level qualification for the sciences, it is compulsory for candidates to complete both Paper 3 and Paper 5; there is no “alternative to practical” option available for AS/A Level syllabuses. Private candidates may obtain their practical training in a registered Cambridge center with laboratory facilities or specialized preparation centers such as Singapore Learner.
Note:
(1) If you are self-studying or you enrol in a private school WITHOUT laboratory facilities, you may obtain your complete CIE science practical training via Singapore Learner. But please check with your school about the venue for your science practical exams.
(2) If your private school is a registered Cambridge center, it may also conduct the actual CIE science practical exams at Singapore Learner by making prior-arrangements with Singapore Learner.
Students in government or international schools or full private schools generally complete between 16 to 20 experiments in two years before doing their actual practical exams. Thus we offer private candidates between 8 to 10 lab sessions (covering 16 to 20 experiments respectively; 1 lab session has two experiments) per subject in our standard science practical course.
In order to complete at least 8 lab sessions, it is recommended that you commence practical training with us in the NOV-JAN period to have enough time to complete at least 8 lab sessions before your exams.
