The registration for ‘A’ and ‘O’ Level exams as a private candidate usually opens around early to mid-April (Please check SEAB website). If you are registering for a Science subject (Physics, Chemistry, Biology or Combined Sciences), at the time of registration in April, you will be asked whether you have done any science practical training in any school, centre, or institute.
Thus if you are considering Singapore Learner as your science practical training provider, you are strongly advised to register with us and begin your science practical sessions for each subject BEFORE APRIL for us to certify that you have attended basic science practical training. Thus it is recommended that you commence practical training with us in Jan/Feb. Please note students usually do about 10 practical sessions per subject to be competent in practicals.
The following is taken from SEAB website:
“If you are registering for a Science subject with a practical paper, you:
• Must have sat the same Science subject(s) previously, OR
• are currently attending or will be attending a course of instruction in Science practical at any institute/school. You must complete the course of instruction in Science practical at the institute/school enrolled in. You are required to declare that you have fulfilled the above requirements at the point of registration. Registration for the subject may be cancelled without a refund of the examination fees if a false declaration is made.“

water
3. determination of the value of the acceleration of free fall
4. investigation of the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces
5. the principle of moments
6. determination of the position of the centre of gravity of a plane lamina
7. investigation of the factors affecting thermal energy transfer
8. determination of heat capacities of materials and latent heat of substances
9. the law of reflection
10. determination of the position and characteristics of an optical image formed by a plane mirror or a
thin converging lens
11. the refraction of light through glass blocks
12. the principle of total internal reflection

A-LEVEL PRIVATE CANDIDATES
This is a 10-month programme. Ideally you should enrol in January as the A-Levels is a rigorous exam.
Subjects currently offered: H2 Math, H2 Physics, H2 Chemistry, H2 Economics, H2 Management of Business, H1 General paper.
Note that if you are a private candidate re-taking the A-Levels, to get into a local university like NUS or NTU, you will only need to do GP and 3 H2 subjects. Total 4 subjects. You don’t need to redo your H1 content subject or PW or MT.
Although you will need to do 4 subjects at the A-Levels, at Singapore Learner Academy, you can choose to sign up for less than 4 subjects if you feel that you can study the remaining subjects by yourself.
Fee Matters:
The fee per month for each subject is $240. Fees are due in the first week of each month.
One-time Registration Fee for each student is $20.
Materials fee (photocopying, notes, graph paper etc) per NON-SCIENCE subject is $90 for the whole course.
Materials fee (photocopying, notes, graph paper, science lab consumables etc) per SCIENCE subject is $350 for the whole course.
A Deposit equivalent to one-month’s fee is payable upon registration. (This Deposit will be used as fee for October)
Total Fee payable at point of Registration: [$20] + [$90 x (number of Non-Science subjects)] + [$350 x (number of Science subjects)]+ [$240 x (number of subjects) x 2 (due to deposit)].
Total fee in a normal month = $240 x (number of subjects)
Parents/students will be also be informed of any books which need to be purchased. Students are also expected to have their own writing materials and calculator.
Administrative and Operational Matters:
Education days: Mon, Tue, Thur, and Fri and weekends (for practicals), except public holidays and some government school holidays. Students need to come only on days for which they have official lessons.

Education calendar: In terms of weeks, terms, months and semester of study as well as no-lesson days, SLA generally follows the same academic calendar as those of government secondary schools and junior colleges in Singapore, so that families and staff with children in public secondary schools can better align their social activities. However, graduating students may be asked to attend extra lessons or take internal examinations in the June holidays.
Registration:
Registration is now open for the 2019 intake. Classes will officially commence on Monday 4 Feb 2019. However, students who are taking the A-Levels for the first time are required to start classes in the first week of Jan 2019.
