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 SCIENCE (CHEMISTRY) PRACTICAL
Paper 5 (Practical) is weighted to 15% of the assessment.
Candidates may be asked to carry out exercises based on:
(a) quantitative experiments involving the use of a pipette, burette and an indicator such as methyl orange or screened methyl orange; if titrations other than acid / alkali are set, full instructions and other necessary information will be given
(b) speeds of reaction that may involve measuring of quantities, e.g. volume, length, mass or time measurement
(c) measurements of temperature based on thermometers with 1°C graduations
(d) problems of an investigatory nature, possibly including suitable organic compounds
(e) paper chromatography
(f) filtration
(g) qualitative inorganic analysis involving an element, a compound or a mixture, including precipitation reactions, and tests for oxidising and reducing agents (as specified in the syllabus)
This is not intended to be an exhaustive list.
Candidates are not allowed to refer to notebooks, textbooks or any other information in the practical examination. Notes for Qualitative Analysis will be included in the question paper for the use of candidates in the examination.
Candidates may also be required to perform simple calculations.
OUR STRUCTURED PRACTICAL TRAINING SYSTEM
Based on the above syllabus, we have several structured programs for you, depending on whether you are a private or school candidate.
PRIVATE CANDIDATES
If you are a private candidate, for each subject, you must complete 4 Basic practicals (preferably by 15 Apr) plus a further 2 Exam-Paper-Style practicals, before we issue you a certificate to acknowledge that you have completed a sufficient amount of practical training necessary for your actual exam. Beyond these 6 practical sessions, you may also opt to attend our Practical Crash Courses and our Practical Mock Exams in June, September or October.
SCHOOL CANDIDATES
If you are a current school candidate, you may select any of the training labs found in our schedule, and you are strongly encouraged to sign up early for our Practical Crash Courses and our Practical Mock Exams which will be held in June, September or October.
OUR SCIENCE (CHEMISTRY) PRACTICAL SCHEDULE (Jan to Oct)
*Other labs, such as PC10 – PC16, are also available for those who want further training or as mock exams.
PRACTICAL TUITION FEES
PRACTICAL DAYS AND TIMINGS
IMPORTANT POINTS TO NOTE:
The above is the ideal schedule for students who want to excel in their 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.
* If instead you are looking for a COMPLETE Science O-Level Prep program (Theory + Practical), then join our SCIENCE ACADEMY.
