      There have been so many changes over the years. But as of now, both Maths and FMaths are H2 subjects, and H3 is the "extra on top". How H3 differs from the old "S" papers, I don’t know. I guess the main reason for taking H3 is to give an edge when facing scholarship boards or university selection boards (if it comes down to interviews, etc), and, of course, some students just like to stretch themselves.

        Maths C is not core and not compulsory. Those without A Maths and not in the science stream do not have to take that subject - instead they can do AO Maths (today’s equivalent of H1 Maths) as AO / A Maths / (H1) is the minimum requirement for courses like Business. I know because I was made to do AO Maths initially for the first 3 months (got a F9 for A Maths in Prelims :evil: ). If you have your sights set on a course in FASS, you don’t even have to do any Maths subjects.


        F Maths is Further Maths.

        H3 is the equivalent of the old S paper.

            zac's mum:
            In my mind our C maths stood for Core Maths (compulsory for all combis) = H2 now, and then F maths stood for Further Maths. I think it is also a H2 subject?

            The \"C\" in Maths C doesn't mean \"Core\". It just means Syllabus C.

            That's why Chief took Maths B because it was still Syllabus B during his time.

              “If a kid got O level HMTL for A1. what is the contribution to A level final score ? “

              Your RP +10/100*90
              For example, if your RP is 80 and your HMT is A, u can add 10 points to your RP then divided by 100 times 90
              80+10/100*90=81
              I hope it answers your question 🙂

                  Well said!
                  There is no jc that is totally fun or totally boring. Nor is there a jc which every single student will have the same opinion about it. What we hear may not be reflective of that jc too unless one experiences it himself and his experience may differ from a fella schoolmate and both may draw different conclusions out of it. One man's meat is another man's poison.
                  I am sure MOE will provide adequate facilities to all the non-independent jcs and not favoring one over another. Any extra 'perks' will most probably be contributed by the jc's alumni or clan and it's something a student need not fuss over if his jc doesn't have them. He will be there for a mere 2 years and it's not his permanent abode.
                  What matters most is that the student has enjoyed and benefited from the program in his jc and has no regret choosing it.

                        In June this year, MOE said there is no bell curve in national exams. But, could there be some moderation?
