O-Level Physics
-
Hi all
As requested for some, here is the latest video on the predictions for 2023 O Level Physics. These are just predictions so please take it with a pinch of salt.
Take note of the topics that will be tested for the last time this year so there is a chance for these concepts to be tested this year.
- Vernier Calipers/Micrometer Screw Gauge
- Thermometer, Thermometric Properties.

Hi,
Anyone sign up your Sec 4 child for Science Practical exam preparation course? ANy recommendations and reviews to share? THank you! -
Hi, I’m looking for a good and patient home physics tutor for my S3 daughter who is struggling with the subject. I’m staying in clementi area. Does anyone have any recommendation?

He is Top in Physics in his school for both Year 3 and 4. He is in both Math RA and Physics RA. Scoring above 95 for all the RA subjects he took.
He is looking for tutoring job in Nov 2023 to Feb 2024. He is interested in teaching Physics and Mathematics.
PM if you are interested. -
This year 2023 Physics Practical O level, for 6091 Paper 3, held on 9 October 2023, had something to do with …
Light, Electricity and time.
Anyone here have the Practical exam questions ? -

May i know was there any change of syllabus within the past 10 years? If yes, which year?

Maybe look at the subject requirements for courses that ds may be interested in the future?

The way i see his brain (non-meticulous, big picture kind of thinking), he is not suited for STEM degree, let alone Science stream in JC/poly. Engineering or computer science-related definitely out. Then why study Physics, right?
He is thinking that since he scored high in the physics topics for WA, he is good in physics. But lower sec is simple plugging in of formulas. He does not know how complex the concepts (and calculations) get in upper sec…
Also, his maths cmi. Simple applications still ok, but may not take A math cos he cannot grasp abstract concepts. Physics and A math usually go together? -

Just happened to come across this. Agree with your last sentence - Maths is required to handle Physics, and it's hard to think of anyone who is good at Physics at higher levels but poor in Maths! If he's not likely to take A Maths, then I would say that there's no point taking Physics at O level as he will need H2 Maths to take Physics at A level (even if the JC allows H1 Maths and H2 Physics, that should be avoided!). However, if he is truly interested in Physics, and thinks that his Maths is up to it, and there isn't any other subject he likes as much, maybe it could be considered. But if the main reason is because of the WA results, I would suggest he reconsider!

One of the pitfalls in our education system is that we tend to judge whether someone is \"good\" at a subject based on the latest exam results. That isn't a good indicator at lower levels at it's too easy to drill and memorise techniques in the early years. Most kids are not asked to really consider whether they find a subject intrinsically interesting or how easily they really understand the subject (as opposed to answering the questions which they have been drilled in). I was pressed to take sciences at A level because I had done well in the science exams up to then (but with a B in A Maths), but I knew that I hadn't been learning them the right way, Maths was going to be an issue, and science subjects didn't \"spark joy\" in me (to borrow Marie Kondo's phrase!). I am so thankful that I was able to persuade my parents to let me take Arts instead.
