Actually HCI paper for Math isn't that tough for JC1. There are a few schools with papers that are actually more demanding such as ACJC, DHS.

In fact from MOE's point of view HCI students should be getting straight As or near straight As as they are taking in the top percentage of the students in terms of academic ability.

When I analyse different school's teaching materials, one thing I like about HCI's approach (for math) is that they drill alot on the fundamentals, their tutorial questions are not too many, of medium standard at most.

Finally from my point of view (according to my 2 friends teaching there) what makes HCI perform well are:
1. Students are motivated and hungry for good results
2. A large percentage actually have external help (if you know what I mean), I have taught tuition classes with all HCI students only and heard alot from them.

Yes, my gal has the same feedback as u...that ACJC Maths papers is the toughest...As for HCI, still doable for her...
When her sch, DHS, gave them the JC Maths papers for practices ...

angwc:

Hell is the same for all JC students as the A level curriculum is a big jump from O level due to the short time to learn, longer lesson hours and faster pace with significantly tougher content.

So true...
