Originally posted by MilkLover:Hello guys I just got a question here. Has the ‘A’ level syllabus undergone a revamp for exam year 2013? Meaning next year onwards is the new H1/H2 syllabus? Because for like H2 Chemistry, the paper 2 now is 72 marks instead of 60 marks. I’m quite blur on this kind of stuff so I will appreciate it if someone can help
Regards to the syllabus, almost every year there are minor (nothing to bother about) revisions to the syllabus and exam paper formats. The last major change was the Planning Qn for Paper 2.
You can find out the answer to your own question, by comparing the 2012 and 2013 syllabuses :

What should be more of a concern (to teachers and tutors, as well as to future cohorts of 'A' level students), is not the syllabus change, but the deliberate (and unannounced) increase in difficulty level of the H2 Chemistry exam papers (year on year), as well as the rumoured decrease in number of 'A' grades to be handed out from 2012 'A' levels onwards.

Dear MilkLover,
H2 Maths syllabus remains the same in 2013. Like what UltimaOnline has mentioned, interesting questions appear (to stump students) every year. Thanks.
Cheers,
Wen Shih

If that is the case next question is which popular outlet sells cs toh‘s books? Went to marine parade popular then they say don‘t take stock anymore zzz
CS Toh's Chemistry book is a must-have for all Chemistry students. See my list of recommended books here :
