ADDITIONAL O-LEVEL 2013 PHYSICS MCQ INTENSIVE DRILL SESSIONS (700+ MCQs) – $50 ONLY

In addition to 9 Nov 3 pm and 10 Nov 3 pm, due to popular demand, we have also created two new slots as listed below:

Date:   7 Nov (Thur) or 9 Nov (Sat) (choose one session only)

Time:  Thursday: 3 pm – 6 pm;   Saturday: 9.30 am – 12.30 pm.

Location:  Blk 627, Bukit Batok Central, #07-640.

Fee:  $50 only.

Tutor:  Mr Ilyasa (M.Ed, PGDE, B.Sc. Ex-Subject Head of Physics)

Note: Science (Physics) students may also attend and do 500 MCQs. Since 500 to 700 MCQs cannot be completed in 3 hrs, you may also attend two sessions and pay $90.

Sec 3 Physics students may also attend one of these sessions to revise their Physics as half of these MCQs are testing Sec 3 Physics topics.

FOR REGISTRATION, SMS <STUDENT NAME> <PMCQ> <DATE><TIME> TO 97860411.

Note:

The above is based on my analysis of the Physics Paper 2 from 2008 to 2012. In general, Paper 2 topics of the previous year is not repeated in the following year, and topics that have not been tested for several years are more likely to be tested this time round.

Please not that the above are just guidelines and not 100% accurate. The topics that I have de-emphasized for Paper 2 can still be tested in Paper 1.

Rgds,

Ilyasa

Note: If you wish to have intensive revision on the above important topics, kindly attend my special two-day workshop, O-LEVEL PHYSICS (5058) INTENSIVE REVISION / CRASH COURSE on 26 & 27 Nov.

Another workshop you may be interested in is O-LEVEL 2013 PHYSICS MCQ INTENSIVE DRILL SESSION (700+ MCQs) – $50 ONLY.
