Last year in O Levels Organic Chemistry Mastery Workshop 2008, we had lots of fun and students were taught all the essential concepts on EVERYTHING on O Levels Organic Chemistry.
Those concepts allow them to tackle and answer all the Organic Chemistry related questions in both their Preliminary and GCE O Level Chemistry Examinations. With flow charts, life examples and associations, plus inter-linking chapters; strategies taught to these group of students, they have done well for Organic Chemistry-based questions.
Tomorrow, we will meet a new group of students (not really new though as half of the group has attended our previous workshops in one or another) for our annual Organic Chemistry Mastery Workshop 2009.
If you have just found out about us (either through Referral or Online Search), you still have one last chance to register and join us tomorrow morning at 9am at YMCA Orchard, Singapore.

I will see you there!
PS: For overseas students and educators, i will share with you more on the happenings during the Organic Chemistry Mastery Workshop within this few days.

Hi Students (and parents),
Thank you for all your email enquries on our annual Organic Chemistry Mastery Workshops 2009 for O Level students.
As mentioned that in 2008 GCE O Levels Chemistry Exams, Organic Chemistry plays a large part of the questions that came out in Paper 1 (Multiple Choice Questions) and 2 (Written).
Today i am going to share with you some of the multiple choice questions that came out. I will help you by directing you to the “sub-topics” of Organic Chemistry that the question is based on:
Question 1: Under sub-topic ” Fuels”
In how many of the following can paraffin (kerosene) be used as the energy source?

A) 1
B) 2
C) 3
D) 4
