How to do well in IGCSE/O level Chemistry? Following on from "Why study Chemistry?", I will attempt to share with all young chemists- want-to-be some key must- know concepts . 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...

To all the chemistry students/chemistry-to-be-students, I will be touching on these topics in the next few posts, which i hope you will find informative. “Why study Chemistry?” “How to do well in IGCSE/O level Chemistry” “Chemistry workshop(s) for Cambridge IGCSE/O levels in 2009” Why study Chemistry? This, I have a lot to share because I have studied Chemistry from Cambridge O level to the Masters level; I have also taught many Chemistry students at the BMC Academy and St. Francis Academy in Singapore as well as private tuitions. On retrospect, I dedicate this post to Mr. Chong (who has helped me in my Chemistry A levels, Sunway College); Prof Igor Novak, Prof Andy Hor and Prof Vivian Yam (who have helped me in my Bachelor Degree with Merit, National University of Singapore and University of Hong Kong); Dr. Stachulski and Dr. Greeves (who have helped me in my Master Degree with Distinction, University of Liverpool). All of whom I have the deepest gratitude for their teaching and adm...

Why Cambridge International GCSE/O level qualifications in Malaysia? In this modern times and age, the drive to build on your knowledge and qualification is great. This is because it is the basis for your career or business start up, with it comes financial independence and a quality lifestyle. In Malaysia, SPM or GCE O level are both widely accepted as the minimum qualification for entry level job position or academic progression. It is no wonder, the British Council Malaysia offers private candidates to sit for IGCSE or O level examinations locally. The General Certificate of Education (Ordinary Level), or GCE O Level, is a secondary-level academic qualification that examinations boards in the United Kingdom confer to students. The O Levels aims to prepare students who are 14-16years old for their academic progression (such as GCE Advanced and Advanced Subsidiary Level study, SAM or CPU) and equip them with the skills necessary for employment. In many countries such as Hong Kong, Par...

For a very long time, the Education Ministry of Malaysia has recognised the importance of English language in higher education. Hence, the UPSR and SPM examinations have now included English as the written scripts in Maths and Science examinations. This is a fine example of meeting the changing needs of students today. GCSE, IGCSE and GCE O level/Cambridge International O level are UK qualifications equivalent to SPM qualifications. For further information on these qualifications, please look it up on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GCSE .These courses are taught in the English language as such the examinations use the English scripts only. We can consider GCSE, IGCSE and GCE O level as very valuable qualifications, because they are recognised worldwide as the basic admission requirement to higher education. As part of my continuous quest for learning, my education and career pathways have taken me abroad besides my home, Malaysia. Therefore, I can share with you the various providers of ...
