Hi Zeal Mummy

You can access this website: https://cde.nus.edu.sg/chbe/undergraduate/beng-che/faq/ for one of the courses in NUS

For some courses, H2 subjects are compulsory as admission criteria. For some courses, even without H2 Physics, one can still take a bridging course in NUS, for example.

Good if you can check out the website of NUS/NTU/SMU and others etc to know the admission criteria for various courses and if bridging course or proficiency test is needed.

My advice is - if your child intends to take a science related course at Uni, then yes, H2 Science subject will be needed 🙂
Thank you for the information! I will let my friend’s son know. He’s thinking of doing accountancy as his strongest suit is, math..

Thanks for asking. This is a good question.

Very generally speaking, a H1 subject is half the workload of a H2 subject and gives half the rank points as well (10 RP vs 20 RP).

One of the major differences between H1 and H2 Chemistry is the assessment format.

H1\t Paper 1 - 30 MCQ (33%) 30 marks Paper 2 - Section A + Section B (67%) 80 marks


H2. P1 - 30 MCQ (15%) 30 marks, P2 - Structured Questions (30%) 75 marks, P3 - Free Response Questions (35%) 80 marks, P4 - Practical (20%) 55 marks
\t
\t
H2 Chemistry requires students to be able to perform experiments, make meaningful recording of data as well as evaluate the experimental results. On the other hand, H1 Chemistry does not have any practical component at all.

For H1 Chemistry, these topics are lesser in contents (Energetics, Kinetics, Equilibrium, Acids-Base Equilibria, Intro to Organic Chemistry and all Organic Chem topics)

For H1 Chem, these topics are not tested (Gaseous State, Solubility Product, Electrochemistry, Group 2 Elements, Transition Metals)

Added Topics for H1 Chem ( Group 1 Elements, Polymers, Nanomaterials)

Hope this helps.
