RETAKING YOUR O-LEVELS? JOIN US.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PRIVATE CANDIDATES
The registration for ‘A’ and ‘O’ Level exams as a private candidate usually opens around mid-April (Please check SEAB website) and closes before mid-May. If you are registering for a Science subject (Physics, Chemistry, Biology or Combined Sciences), at the time of registration, you will be asked whether you have done any science practical training in any school, centre, or institute. Thus you must begin your science practical training before April. Science practical training in Singapore Learner qualifies as practical training for the purpose of registration for Science subjects for the ‘A’ and ‘O’ level exams.
Thus if you are considering Singapore Learner as your science practical training provider, you must register with us and complete at least 4 basic practical sessions for each subject by 31st April for us to certify that you have attended science practical training. As students usually do about 10 practical sessions per subject to be competent in practicals, the rest of the lab sessions can be done from May to early October, including the prelim/mock practical exams.

Note: Our practical fees are lowest for practicals done in the Jan-Mar period. So sign up now!
O-LEVEL PHYSICS PRACTICAL
O-LEVEL CHEMISTRY PRACTICAL
O-LEVEL BIOLOGY PRACTICAL
Note: For training purposes, Pure and Combined Science students attend the same practical sessions as the syllabus for practicals is the same for both. The only difference between the two kinds of practicals is there are no Planning questions for Combined Science students.

Retaking A-Levels
FAQ
FAQ1: If I’m a private candidate re-taking the A-Levels, what is the minimum number of subjects I must take to get into a local university like NUS or NTU?
You 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.
FAQ2: If I’m a private candidate doing the A-Levels for the first time, what is the minimum number of subjects I must take to get into a local university like NUS or NTU?
You’ll need to do 3 H2 subjects, 1 H1 content subject, GP and MT. Total 6 subjects.
FAQ3: If I’m a private candidate, what is the minimum number of subjects I must take to get into an overseas university like in the UK or Australia?
Most overseas universities accept just 3 H2 subjects. Even GP is not needed. However some universities may expect a fourth subject, which can be a H1 or H2 subject, but it is safer to take a H2 subject.
SCIENCE PRACTICAL TRAINING
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.

Thus students who do less than 5 subjects in SLA need to study their remaining subjects on their own if they intend to apply to a polytechnic.
Students who intend to proceed to a Junior College must offer English (at least a C6), Math (at least a D7), and 4 other subjects, for a total of 6 subjects, and must have passed Mother Tongue (at least a D7). Thus students who do less than 6 subjects in SLA need to study their remaining subjects on their own if they intend to apply to a JC.

The fee per month for each subject is $280.
Fees are due in the first week of each month.
One-time Registration Fee for each student is $20 (non-refundable).
Deposit for each subject = 1 month’s fee of each subject (refundable).

First-timer A-Levels for Private Candidates
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).
Note: Our practical fees are lowest for practicals done in the Jan-Mar period. So sign up now!
You may need science practical lessons if you are a private candidate who needs a science lab and apparatus as well as practical coaching, or you are a school candidate who needs more practical training to get top grades.
School candidates (in govt sec schools, IP schools and JCs) who need more FULL PRACTICAL PRACTICE are also welcome, as you seldom get to complete a full practical in school (1.5 hrs for Combined Science practical exam, 1hr 50 min for Pure Science practicals, and 2hr 30 min for H2 practicals), mainly due to lack of curriculum time.
If you are a private school or tutor who needs a science lab or practical training for your students, you are also advised to contact us early to work out the details such as course curriculum, lab worksheets, scheduling and fee matters.

Re-taking A-levels
If you have read my posts (1) What to do if your A-level results are bad … and (2) A-Level Results: What to do if you get BAD or DEAD, i.e., the ‘middle class’, and you would like to re-take your A-Levels, then I suggest you don’t waste any more time as the next A-Levels is very near already, just a few months down the road.
Retaking A-Levels is not easy, depending on whether you are a full-time student, working, or doing NS.
The ideal situation is when you can choose to become a full-time student, as retaking A-Levels needs a high degree of commitment. If you wish to become our full-time student, then you can click on the following for details: A-LEVEL PREPARATION
If you are working part-time or full-time or doing NS, and you are serious about retaking your A-levels, then you’d need to meet up with me to work out a suitable arrangement.
