The O-Level Chemistry Curriculum
The O-level chemistry curriculum, as presented by the Singapore Examinations and Assessment Board, consists of multiple subjects. Good knowledge of those will have to be demonstrated during the exam that is divided as follows:
- Paper 1: multiple choice questions; duration: one hour
- Paper 2: structured and free response section; duration: 1 hour 45 minutes
- Paper 3: practical exam; duration: 1 hour 50 minutes
The sections contribute 30, 50 and 20 per cent to the final score respectively.
As you can see, each of the papers is designed to test your analytical knowledge, understanding of chemistry principles and problem solving skills in a very distinctive way.
The content structure of the syllabus includes the following sections:
- Experimental chemistry
- Atomic structure and stoichiometry
- Chemistry of reactions
- Periodicity
- Atmosphere
- Organic chemistry
Each of these sections is further sub-divided into niche topics. Chemistry of reactions, for example, is further subdivided into electrolysis, energy from chemicals, chemical reactions and acids, bases and salts.
To ace your O-level chemistry exam, you need to:
- Get in-depth knowledge of all these sections
- Familiarise yourself with the overall examination format, as well as with the specifics of the distinctive papers
- Keep practicing and timing yourself – one of the biggest essentials for overcoming hurdles and mental blocks along the way
- Come up with a strategy about which questions you’d answer first and how you’re going to approach these in the general context of the overall exam
In other words, you need to be cool and collected. You need to be familiar with the format, as well as the examination behaviours that will help you optimise the available time and the mental resources at your disposal.
