Being hiatus for quite a long time. About time to bring it to life again. New direction and content. Waiting for the cue. See you soon!

Syllabus, of course.

This will be the guide of your A-level course. Targets which should be completed, what’s what (define, describe, explain, suggest), details, changes from previous syllabus, and at the end of the syllabus: Data Booklet. You need to get used to this one since this is the helpful tool for you instead of writing tool and calculator.

If you’re XII graders, you will still be using 9701_y10. If you’re XI graders, you will use 9701_y11. Download it here.

Revision checklist.

What? Study guide? Well, no, I don’t use it. There’s revision checklist for you to check your progress. Download it here.

A-level Science Applications Support Booklet

This booklet talks about applied chemistry and a bit about biochemistry. All A-level (A2) Chemistry candidates MUST have and study this one as a starter for your exam preparation. Good for others as advanced knowledge, too. Download it here.

XII Humanity: Sri Hartatik

Good morning, XI-science students!

Practical exam

As I have mentioned at class that there will be paper 1, 2, and 3 for your final exam. Paper 1 and 2 will be held according the final exam schedule, while paper 3 (practical skill) is going to be on Thursday, May 27 2010. Starts at 7 a.m. for XI-Science-A and 10 a.m. for XI-Science-B. No A-level exam for that day so no worries.

You will be divided into two groups per class. Each session would have 1 hour. Means you will have 60 minutes to conduct your practical exam. The paper 3 exam would consist of 2 questions, one titration OR thermochemistry, and one for test for ions. It has been arranged that the time is sufficient. So please be prepared.

I can not promise there will be last practice for this paper 3 final exam since the lab is used today and regular classes will use the room the other days. I promised you I will announce it the soonest if there is a possible time. The downside is, the time may overlap with your Physics practical exam, or Biology, or Math (Statistics) exams. But I can assure you it’s not something you’ve never done before.

Evaluation is based on how you conduct the practical work, accuracy and the result (value) of your work. Bring your lab coat. I DO NOT allow those who don’t wear it to enter the lab (moreover to have the test). And there is no remedial test.

Make sure you have replace broken equipments and signed the log book for that purpose.

Written exam

Chemistry final exam will be on Friday, June 4 2010 in 2 sessions, each for one paper. Time allocation for paper 1 is 60 mins and paper 2 is 120 mins. As usual. Data Booklet will be given. Make sure you are familiar with it and KNOW how to use the booklet. Calculator and pens (in blue or black ink) are a must.

The material for written exam (paper 1 and 2) will cover the whole AS-level topics. Yes, spreads from semester 1 (physical chemistry) to organic chemistry. As you see past papers, those will your chemistry exam be. (note: this may not apply to other subjects).

Remedial test (if necessary) will be on Wednesday, June 9 2010. There is NO other time because the teachers will be having a Raker at June 10-12, 2010. Consider your self has been warned.

Participants

The below mentioned students may skip paper 1 and 2 exams. Those who are not listed are obliged to take the exam.

XI-science-A:

1. Cindy Dessidia Gamal

Good luck, everyone!

Update (June 14, 2010)

As I have said in both classes, main components of your final score are EoC tests, quizzes, tasks and practical exam. Final test is (was) intended for remedial purpose, thus the 9 students are allowed to skip the exam. It WAS a remedial test.

What if the result of the Final Exam is not satisfying? Well you will have to be satisfied with it because it was your last resort and I have informed you in advance. Months ago. The ease is very much for the ones who prepared well since the beginning of the semester.

I found some oddness in paper 1 final exam which made me considered NOT to include this score into your account. I will not open any discussion about this but I would happily meet your parents have you not satisfied about it. I have your paper 2 result (which is MUCH more accurate) as comparison to the paper 1.

Here’s some files of previous year’s progress test. You might need to sort the questions since there are additional questions due to a task I gave and bits of A2-level chemistry.

When there’s more to esterification or polymerization than what you’ve been taught, then it’s an A2. Confirm it to your 2010 syllabus.

Prog test 1_2008 (alkanes ~ aldehydes)

Rem_final test_2008 (inorganic ~ organic chemistry)

quiz_carbonyl_2009

AS-level_review (minus organic chemistry)

I personally think I’ve given loads of question papers. In addition to packs of past papers I’ve given to you before.

So there should be no more questioning “We need more practice”. YOU need to DO the practice. Not me giving out more questions. They’re more than enough now.

Look for it. Download it. And DO. Don’t waste your time by sitting idly in your class waiting for me to tell you to do something. You have tons to work with, already. What you need is STARTING to dwell in them.

You have 2 weeks starting from this Monday (April 26th, 2010) to do extra task or redo some EoC tests to improve your grades. You can ask for the task or EoC question paper to me.

Mind you, if you don’t ask me, I won’t push it to you. I’ll take it as you’re satisfied with your result. Your schooling is your responsibility.

Good luck.
