To anyone : Do you think it's possible to get other schools revision O level papers in the internet?
Yes, you are able to purchsae illegally from websites that sells examination papers from other schools for $30.
Many people have done that.

P.s. I think you wait for the 1 week after Prelim. The schools will exchange exam papers with other school and let you try the current year prelim. That one will be the most updated.
How about downloading the papers? Is it possible? I won't be printing them out anyway.
For O level Chem, you'll be better off doing these higher quality practice questions (see recommended books below), than doing schools' prelim papers (some schools' papers have dubious quality control). Some secondary schools' prelim papers have errors and include dubious quality questions.
Three particular "exam practice questions" type books that I would highly recommend for 'O' level Chemistry students (these are Pure Chem books, but I would recommend them for Combined Science* Chem students as well), in no particular order, are :
- Longman's 'O' level Chemistry Workout by Lim Eng Wah and JGR Briggs
- GLM's Understanding Chemistry 'O' level by Li Geok Jin
- EPB Pan Pacific's Understanding 'O' level Chemistry through Problem Solving by Woo Chang Hong and Alaric Koh Chin Wai.
( *Combined Science Chem students who are doing well may attempt to progress on to practicing the Pure Chem TYS, and then onto the 3 titles recommended above. This is specifically recommended for combined science students who are seriously aiming for an A1 grade, and/or intend to continue studying Chemistry in the JC at H2 level, or take Chem based courses in the Polytechnic.)

Wow thanks! Hmm how about other subjects? Any ideas?
Oh and how about these 3 books?
Chemistry
-Longman Complete Guide to 'O' Level Chemistry 3rd Edition by Rex M Heyworth and JGR briggs.
Physics
-Longman 1001 physics MCQs for 'O' level by Tan Peng Yeon
-Physics Key points exam guide RedSpot Publications PTE LTD by K.L.Poon (B. Sc. (Hons), Dip. Ed.)

It's fine. But it's a notes + qns book. The 3 titles I recommended earlier are qns only, no notes. If you're keen on having more practice qns (rather than notes), get the 3 titles I recommended.
Erm the 3 chemistry books you recommended aren't past year O level questions right?

Erm, Why would I recommend 3 different books containing the same past year O level qns, right?
