Hello All, If you are a returning visitor, you may have noticed we have changed the website template. This is due to some technical problem that we have faced. We are still in the middle of resolving the matter. Meanwhile, thank you for all the support and queries that we have received thus far. In appreciation for the tremendous support. We are organising yet another round of Information Day this coming weekend. Please click on the flyer to the left and let us know of your interest so we can cater for refreshment needs. Alternatively, please contact Miss Alicia, our senior counsellor to learn how you can benefit from Cambridge O Level tuition at Honsbridge Academy.

Honsbridge Information Day Questions & Answers Session

Hello everyone, Thank you for making the last three series of Information Day on the 22nd Feb, 26th Feb and 28th Feb a success. It was a great pleasure to share with all the useful information on O Level and IGCSE in Malaysia. Last night, it occurred to me that I should post some of the most frequently asked questions and response here to benefit everyone. Some of the most frequently questions and responses are as follows: 1) What is IGCSE and what does it stands for? When I used to work in the United Kingdom for the last 4 years, I have taught my tutees to prepare them for their General Certificate Secondary Education (GCSE)exams.

Know your periodic table, there is a wealth of information that you can get simply by referring to the periodic table. The elements in their respective Group have the same number of outermost electrons as their Group number. e.g. Group V elements will have 5 valence electrons. Whereas the elements in their respective Period have the same number of electronic shells as their Period number. e.g. Al is in Group III and in Period 3, therefore it has three electronic shells and three valence electrons. The Group number of the element also suggests how many more or less electrons that the element needs to gain or loose to become as stable as the Group VIII elements. e.g. Since Br is in Group VII, it has 7 valence electrons, to become stable like Group VIII elements, it needs to gain 1 more electron...
