All About A Levels

In the old days, it was either double maths, double science (physics n chemistry) or double maths, econs n physics. About 50-50 between these 2 combis.I wonder how F Math would fit into the A level system we have now of taking 4 content subjects with a compulsory contrasting subject. Students who choose F Math would then be doing :
1) Math
2) F Math
3) Physics or Chem or Bio
4) Contrasting subject
Doesn't make much sense to be doing 2 Maths and 1 Science. In the old days, there was no contrasting subject requirement so students would take double math and double science.
Unless MOE is planning to rethink the A levels altogether. Or have students take 5 content subjects. Or relegate the contrasting subject to H1. -
last time, i took math C, further math, physics and econs. this combination is ideal for engineering courses. Further math, physics and econs make year 1 engineering a piece of cake.

That's what I thought I read last year. I assumed recent info superceded this. But if this is in the latest JAE booklet I would take it to be more accurate as it's from the source.[/quote]This is from the latest JAE. -
Highly agree.
F maths sets a good foundation for any course in Uni. -

If take H1 Physics instead of H2 Physics -
do students still need to do bridging Physics in NUS Electrical / Electronic Engineering faculty, or can't even enter NUS Electrical / Electronic / Mechanical Engineering, because H1 Physics is not good enough, must need H2 Physics then can ?
Is H1 Physics the same as O level Physics, or higher ? -

I took this combi too. It was also ideal for accountancy and business courses Yr 1 as statistics n econs were already learnt in JC. -
I have a net of 8. Should I try NYJC Sci which is a 7?

ETM:
i was from AJC and now tutoring H2 math. AJC math paper is hard but do-able. i scored more than 90% in school exams in both Math C and Further Maths. The teachers are very good and the same teachers teaching me 20 years ago are still there! The tough training in AJC allows me to ace engineering maths in NTU.
4. Anderson JC
Pros:
Better academically than nanyang , for my points thats the only other choice I guess.Academically ok-ish
Decently near - 30/40 mins
Cons:
Read in forums math paper is overkill and demoralising - I like challenges but setting papers which are not reflective of A level standards are a sign that their methods of teaching may be ineffective
AJC H2 math questions are tougher than normal 2nd tier JC but comparable to HCI, RI, NJ and VJ. AJC H2 math % distinction is 62.8%, far above national average of 50%. -
I didn't realize that Bachelor of Engineering (Computer Engineering) and Bachelor of Computing (Computer Science) command the highest starting salary after Law and Medicine.

Wasn't familiar with the physics / econs one
