Every year during this period, i will share with students (and their parents) how they can boost their Chemistry grade even if they didn’t do well in your Paper 2 (Structured Questions). It’s by focusing their attention and energy on Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ) Paper 1.

It requires sheer determination!

I know exactly how you will feel with most papers completed and just the MCQ Papers towards the end of O-Level. I’m here to help: I’m here to keep you from being complacent, I’m here to help you to prepare confidently for your final dash!

Score 100% in Chemistry MCQ will definitely boost your results! Its weighting is 30%!

Also, the early bird registration for Score 100% MCQ Mastery Workshop is closing this Sunday, 16 October 2011.

“It is good that Sean has organized this workshop to focus on the MCQ of Chemistry paper as it is often a paper that teachers and students alike will neglect. Through the workshop, he covers tricky and common MCQ questions, which is very helpful. His cheerful and lively teaching approach learns to keep everyone awake and in focus. Thanks Sean for everything! Definitely recommended to other students in future.”

- Edna Chan Zhi Yin, Hougang Sec School

May the force be with you,

Chemistry Basic Essential Concepts Workshop – 6th & 7th Dec 2010

Two groups of students (AM and PM sessions) ranging from Sec 1 – Sec 4 (O Levels / IP /SOTA IB) were put through participative exercises and engaging activities to build up their essential concepts and skill sets such as:

• Difference between Elements, Compounds & Mixtures
• Understanding Atomic Structure of Atoms
• Mastery of the Use of Periodic Table
• Importance of Chemical Formula
• Writing Balanced Chemical Equations

Chemistry Basic Essential Concepts Workshop (AM session)

Chemistry Basic Essential Concepts Workshop (PM session)

Chemistry Acids, Bases & Salts Revision Workshop – 8th to 10th Dec 2010

Workshop was attended by Sec 3 and 4 students from O Levels and IP schools.

Many of the students that joined this revision workshop had went for the earlier Chemistry Basic Essential Concepts Workshop on 6th and 7th Dec. You can see that they are so much more confident in writing all the chemical formula and balanced chemical equations which is so common in Acids, Bases and Salts topics. This shows that basic essential concepts and skill sets are important for Chemistry students! They must start from basic….

Comprehensive revision was achieved with lots of participation on exam-based application questions for this workshop. Coverage of key concepts include:

• Definition, Physical & Chemical Properties of Acids
• Definition, Physical & Chemical Properties of Alkalis
• Strategies to Choose the Correct Method for the Preparation of Salts

Acids, Bases & Salts Revision Workshop

Now, i am looking forward to mid-January 2011 when the Sec 3 and 4 O Levels Chemistry Weekly Classes (Ultimate Leap Programme) starts for Winners Education Group, with many of the workshop participants joining up for the weekly classes.

I am pleased to share with you the successful completion of the annual GCE O-Levels Pure Chemistry “Score 100% MCQ Mastery Workshop 2010″ on 6th November 2010.

A total of 62 GCE O-Levels students attended this awesome  annual event with the aim of helping them to score high for their Pure Chemistry Paper 1 (MCQ) Paper which has an overall weightage of 30%.

I am so proud of this group of students taking time off to attend this workshop. There is a say that “80% of the Success is about taking the necessary Actions” and you can certainly know that this group of students are serious in improving their overall Chemistry grades.

Now, i would like to wish every GCE O Levels Chemistry (Pure Chemistry and Combine Science Chemistry) students the best in their MCQ Paper. Remember to manage your time and shade your answers carefully.

I’m sure you have heard the tortoise and the hare story. Despite its slowness, the tortoise won the race with its perseverance and determination.

Yesterday, you completed HALF the race - Chemistry Paper 2 (Pure Chemistry) or Science Paper 3 (Combine Science).

From SMS, facebook and twitter messages i have received yesterday, some students said it was easy while another group mentioned that it was tricky. Whatever the case (easy or tricky), this is not important now. The important thing is that you are only half-way through the race.

To win the race, you must have the perseverance and never-give-up spirit all the way till Chemistry Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ) paper on 12 Nov.

It isn’t easy, I must admit. There are so much distractions and mentally, you could be tired with major papers completed by next week. Everyone could be in celebratory mood since what’s left are mainly the MCQ papers (perceived by most students to be easy). Hmm … …

This was the attitude of the hare, wasn’t it? The race is easy since that tortoise is so slow and I can run so fast, I might as well take a nap and when I wake up, the tortoise must be still far far away.

This is what happened to a lot of O Level students over the past years! (Plus the fact that if this year’s Paper 2 is relatively easy, the more you should be mentally prepared that Paper 1 would be CHALLENGING!)

So come on, WAKE UP! You must stay focused and persevere to score well for your Chemistry MCQ Paper 1.

On my part, I’m training a very committed group of students on 6 Nov 2010 to fight against distraction and focus on the remaining part of the race: Pure Chemistry MCQ worth 40 marks! A whopping 30% weightage for Chemistry!

If you want to win this race, I welcome you to join with open arms.

If you can’t sign up online by the time you read this, it means the limited seats left are all taken. I’m sorry.

All the best to your exams! =)

With GCE ‘O’ Level Examinations coming in less than 5 months time, how many of you are prepared for it?

Not sure? Take a look at your Mid-Year Examination Paper + Sec 3 End-of Year Paper + Continual Assessment Tests recently.  If you are not scoring B3 and above, it might shows that you are not that ready for ‘O’ Level Examinations.

Some would argue that you do not have enough time to revise and memorise all the materials before you have gone for your Mid-Year Exams, and thus the not-so-good results you are getting.

But is that true??????

Now, Chemistry is a abstract subject of Science (as compared to Physics and Biology) and you need good understanding of the essential concepts in order to score. Only about 10% of the marks are awarded based on recalling of facts (i.e. memorising itself might help here), with the rest (90%) all based on your understanding and application to challenging questions.

More importantly, ALL the Chemistry Topics are inter-related and it is the norm this days that a structured chemistry question is based on 3-4 topics. As such, it is of paramount importance to have a strong foundation of essential concepts in all the chemistry topics! SORRY you cannot skip topics and expect to do well in Chemistry!

Every June Holidays, we have groups of students that came to our June Holidays Intensive Revision Bootcamp to master their Chemistry concepts. These students realised that June is perhaps the last chance for them to really master Chemistry – and they continue to do well for the ‘O’ Level Examinations in 5 months time

[98% of our 2009 batch scored 'A's or 'B's from 'D' - 'F' grade]

[97% of them achieved minimum 3 grades jump]

This June Holidays, i will be personally coaching you on the following key essential chemistry topics:

• CM1: Atomic Structure & Chemical Bondings
• CM2: Acids & Bases
• CM3: Mole Calculations
• CM4: Rate of Reactions & Energy Changes
• CM5: Preparation of Salts & Qualitative Analysis (QA)
• CM6: Redox
• CM6A: Electrolysis

The bootcamp is a highly participative event and covers the following key areas:

• Comprehensive 100% coverage of each topics
• Understand abstract concepts in an easy to relate manner
• Learn and Apply strategies on real examination questions
• Time management enforced during every workshop
• Pre & Post review assessment for checking level of understanding

Note:

1. CM1, CM2, CM3 and CM5 are suitable for Sec 3 students also. Do call us to discuss suitability if you are not sure.

2. Follow-up revision classes will be available (as an option) to prepare you towards ‘O’ Level Exams if you wish to join

3. Need A-Math or E-Math topical workshops instead? Click HERE to find out more.
