  Hi people, any idea on what topics should I revise or 're-look' on to prepare for JC?(H2 Phy + Chem and Maths)?

  For H2 Chem, add these 3 websites (Rod Beavon, Jim Clarke and Doc Brown) to your browser favourites / bookmarks, and start using them regularly :

  Hi Xavolon,

    For H2 Maths, relevant knowledge from O-level E & A Maths are:

    1. Proportion and variation

    2. Perimeter, area and volume

    3. Linear & quadratic inequalities

    4. Sum and product of roots of a quadratic equation

    5. Binomial expansion

    6. Long division, factor and remainder theorems

    7. Surds and indices

    8. Logarithmic and exponential functions

    9. Solving of simultaneous equations (both linear, one linear and one non-linear)

    10. Matrices

    11. Graphs of circles, parabolas, logarithmic, exponential, trigonometric, y = 1/x, y = 1/x^2, y^2 = kx and y = |ax+b|

    12. Differentiation techniques and its applications

    13. Integration techniques and area of a region

    14. Coordinate geometry, simple geometrical results, similarity, congruency

    15. Trigonometric identities

    16. Sequences and patterns

    17. Vector geometry

    18. Set theory

    19. Probability

    20. Mean and standard deviation

    You may also obtain further details on pages 12 and 13 of the syllabus document at:

    http://www.seab.gov.sg/aLevel/2013Syllabus/9740_2013.pdf

    Please note that some content I have listed above are not stated in the syllabus. From my experience, such content are necessary to extend to A-level H2 Maths.

    Thanks.

  Cheers,

  Physics is simple. 
  Start by revising your mechanics. i.e. Kinematics, Dynamics, Forces, Work Energy Power

  Thank you very much.Now I feel more prepared but can anyone give me more info on 'China Studies(in English)' and Economics(both at H1)?Which one is more important or useful for someone who is probably going for Computer Science in Uni?

  Hi,

    The most relevant subject is H2 Computing :P

   Thanks.

  H2 Maths for training of brain on processing algorithms.

  Probably H2 Physics for game designs to make realistic games.

  Thanks for that link but I need a contrasting subject(in science stream) so I'm wondering if I should take China Studies or Economics

  Hi,

    It depends on your interest.

    China is rising in stature, so it is useful taking up China Studies.

    To know exactly how a marketplace works, Econs will shed light.

    Thanks.
