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.
Paper 4 (Practical) is weighted to 20% of the Higher 2 assessment.
Candidates are expected to have been exposed to a range of topics and experimental techniques such as:
Titration, e.g. acid-base titration (using suitable indicators such as methyl orange, screened methyl orange, thymolphthalein, and thymol blue), redox titration, iodimetric titration, indirect titration, including the preparation of standard solutions. Other types of titrations may also be required.
Gravimetric analysis, e.g. volatilization gravimetry
Gas collection
Thermochemistry, including thermometric titration
Chemical kinetics, e.g. continuous and initial rate methods
Qualitative Inorganic analysis involving an element, a compound or a mixture. Systematic analysis will not be required. Candidates should be familiar with the reactions of cations, anions, and tests of gases as detailed in the Qualitative Analysis Notes. Reactions involving ions not included in the QA notes may be tested: in such cases, candidates will not be expected to identify the ions but only to draw conclusions of a general nature. Candidates should not attempt tests, other than those specified, on substances, except when it is appropriate to test for a gas.
Qualitative inorganic analysis requiring a knowledge of simple organic reactions e.g. test-tube reactions indicating the presence of unsaturation ( C = C), alcoholic, phenolic, carbonyl, carboxyl and amino groups, may be tested, but this would be for the testing of observation skills and drawing general conclusions only
Simple organic synthesis and purification, including use of water bath, setting up and the use of reflux and distillation apparatus
OUR STRUCTURED PRACTICAL TRAINING SYSTEM
Based on the above syllabus, we have several structured programs for you, depending on whether you are a Beginner or a Reviser.
You are at the Beginner level if you have never done any Chemistry Practical work before, or your last Chemistry Practical session was more than 2 years ago.
You are at the Reviser level if you have completed the Beginner practicals, or you are re-taking your Chemistry Practical exam, or you are a school candidate who has completed JC1/Y5.
NEW! – 5pm – 7pm time slots on Mon and Wed for students who can only come after school. For advance booking, Whatsapp Admin at88765498 http://wa.link/w0xxk2
Note: The above 4 labs are BASIC TRAINING LABS which are available throughout the year, every week every month, as they are compulsory for all beginners. Thus if the date you can attend is not listed above, please message our Admin at 88765498 for a new schedule.
STANDARD LABS (for Retakers and current govt school students):
(1) Teaching and instruction on how to use the various scientific tools and instruments.
(2) Tips on how to answer a practical worksheet or exam paper, including recording of observations, drawing graphs, writing conclusions, describing precautions and planning a practical.
(3) Notes on important aspects of science practicals.
We will also conduct Mock Practical Exams in September and October
HOW TO BOOK A LAB SESSION:
(1) Decide which Program or Lab sessions you need or most suitable for.
(2) Whatsapp or Message our staff at 88765498 with your Name, Private or School Candidate, A or O level, Subject or Lab Name (e.g Lab PP2), Date and Time of Lab. (Our staff will then guide you on how to register and make payment. If you are not sure about the lab sessions, just state your Name and the Subjects and we will get back to you)
(3) Register Online by clicking below:
(4) Pay Registration fee of $30 via Paynow or funds transfer.
(5) Make the required payment for each lab session at least 5 days before the date of the lab session. (You may also pay for several sessions at one go to ensure that you will have a place in future slots)
FEES PER SESSION
Practical Training Session: $320
Mock Exam:- $380
Note: Above fees are subject to changes without prior notice.
IMPORTANT: The full fee must be paid at least 5 days before the practical session to confirm your attendance as a lot of preparation is needed for practicals coupled with very limited class size. PLEASE NOTE IF YOU ARE ABSENT FOR A LAB SESSION, A PENALTY OF $50 MUST BE PAID TO POSTPONE THIS LAB TO ANOTHER SESSION, AND ONLY 1 POSTPONEMENT IS ALLOWED FOR EACH LAB, ELSE THE LAB IS CONSIDERED COMPLETED AND PAID FOR, AND NO REFUND WILL BE GIVEN. THE FEE FOR THE MISSED LAB CANNOT BE USED FOR ANOTHER LAB.
