Practical course certificate note
For practical, lab, and experiment courses, Eclat Institute may issue an internal Certificate of Completion/Attendance based on participation and internal assessment.
- This is an internal centre-issued certificate, not an MOE/SEAB qualification or accreditation.
- Recognition (if any) is determined by the receiving school, institution, or employer.
- For SEAB private candidates taking science practical papers, SEAB states you should either have taken the subject before or complete a practical course before the practical exam date.

Q: What does Physics GCE O-Level: 2025/26 Parent & Student Guide cover?
A: Evergreen guide that demystifies the 6091 Physics syllabus and shows how IP students can leverage O-Level skills.
TL;DR
The SEAB 6091 Physics scheme of assessment weights Paper 3 (Practical) at 20% and Papers 1–2 at 80%.
The syllabus notes Paper 3 may include data-analysis questions that do not require practical equipment and apparatus.
This guide maps the exam format, flags common pitfalls, and suggests a 12-week grade-jump plan (with links to deeper dives on free-body diagrams, uncertainty and problem-solving heuristics).
Status: Refreshed 26 Jan 2026. Next review: after SEAB updates the 6091 syllabus or assessment format notes.
