no vids are provided to either AS students for practicals nor they will provide for olevels ...all u have to do is to perform the practicals even if u are a private candidate or not.
I mean the videos will be released on internet by famous teachers, but not so quickly.
Lol, Proudly I can say that I'm done with them (My IG's ) in that only for O'level or even IGCSE?hahaha, bachu practical hi sari kasar nikal day ga!

i read all the short convo above ...... guys there has been a change and no ones sure about it ... the syllabus of 2015 came early and the practicals stuff .... we came to know of it just a month ago ................. and as far as private students r concerned i hope they arrange something for themselves. this sure is a headache how the hell r we supposed to do all the practicals 4 months before the finals with no instruments available for practicals
MY teacher left us to die in the sea of physics after showing us 2-5 practicals!
Is this enough to pass CIE!?
that's true but there's no time to revise all the practical I've done 100 years ago xD
I hope CIE won't take this dangerous step!
Who told you about this?
skip your exams coming session... practice the practicals and then give the practicals exams in which ever session you are comfortable with... giving ur O-levels privately will not harm your ability to get into college here or abroad... however, getting into a decent A-levels school might be a problem.. but if you can arrange for private practicals practice then not going to a so called "good A-levels school" is not a problem ...for practicals' tuition centers check these links

And even if there are no practicals' tuition centers available then a group of friends can gather money and make their own arrangements much cheaper that way.. though finding a good teacher for practicals will be slightly tough..... remember universities do not care which school you have studied from... good grades in your O-levels and A-levels, SATs, extra-curricular activities, good teacher recommendation or employer recommendations, very good internships are only things that matter.. in fact if you make your own lab that in itself is a good thing as a part of your university application...and also a good thing to tell the university interviewer and a good thing for your personal statement but make sure you document exactly how you made your lab, etc... and show them video tutorials you got made if you want to... take a laptop to the interview to show the videos... send video recordings of you making your own lab to the unis .. such things will only make you stand out among the thousands of students... in your own lab you can do your really unique student project that might also add value to your application.. check links below.... however, such projects should not be tried at the expense of your grades

For stuff to make a lab
you can get the chemicals from the Chemical Market in Karachi it is near Jodia Bazaar
http://wikimapia.org/1867280/Chemical-Market
or the Sindhi Chemical Market near the Korangi Industrial Area
as well as these areas
http://www.phonebook.com.pk/dynamic/search.aspx?SearchType=kl&k=chemicals&l=Karachi
many small scale household product sellers/manufacturers get the raw materials for their products from these markets
microscopes and other apparatus can be found here ... http://www.phonebook.com.pk/dynamic/search.aspx?SearchType=kl&k=Microscope&l=Karachi&alp=a
or can be bought directly from ..... http://www.olx.com.pk/q/microscope/c-210
the bunsen burner and other stuff can also be arranged .. just look around
http://www.phonebook.com.pk/dynamic/search.aspx?SearchType=kl&k=Laboratory Equipment&l=Karachi
http://karachi.olx.com.pk/scientific-instruments-available-iid-489903001
infact in you own home lab you can get a teacher to make video tutorials.. so that you can revise and practice as much as you want... so instead of buying that fancy new SmartPhone be smart and make a lab before you end up getting a messed up grade
you can also get any one of your family members who is in a Finance/Accounts department in the field of work, to find out exactly how much it would cost to make such a lab and how much it will cost to run such a lab
