If ONLY Further Maths is RE-introduced 2 yrs ago...i think my gal would gladly choose that ... to replace Bio... After going thru it...
Any idea if F Maths is content heavy? DS is thinking of taking double maths in JC next yr.
Need some advise. Thx
New doggy[/quote]Like what other forummers had responded...
If yr DS wanna to opt for F maths in A level...First n foremost, he must hv the aptitude for Maths besides passion...
He can access himself how was his performance for A Maths thus far....
Generally, it is recommended for pupils who can consistently score 85% n above in their A maths if they wanna to do F Math at A level...
Pls also check with the individual JCs, their criteria of choosing F Maths...
As my gal is eligible to do H3 Maths, so i reckon she would gladly choose F Maths if it was available then...
More enjoyable for her, rather than trying to cramp those mountains of Bio notes ....
( though Yes, she agrees that Bio topics are indeed interesting)

Wonder will this re- introduction of F Maths having the same syllabus as during our era ??
Juz like H2 Maths is not exactly the same as our olden days Maths as H2 Maths incorporated a portion of F Maths ... -

[quote=\"zbear\"]Apart from what has been shared by starlight n sieg, for those who don't like memorising, kindly don't go for Bio especially at JC level.
It's NOT only the memorising part of Bio...
Many pple perceive that so long u memorise the mountains of notes, u'll score...
But No...the Bio Essay questions which are very stringent in marking, many students simply lose marks on these...
In short, the amt of hardwork pile into this subj... may not translate to good grades...

Even before FMaths was scrapped, the difficulty had apparently reduced. My husband took it in the early 80s, and he had contact with some top students in the 90s, and they reported that the papers of the early 80s were more difficult.Wonder will this re- introduction of F Maths having the same syllabus as during our era ??

My ah boy's school letter states in Dec, together with class allocation. Hopefully we can get the notification earlier. -
Jennifer:
Dec is quite late if pupils wish to appeal.

Pupils were not allowed to appeal for their preferred subject combinations in VS last year.
How about other secondary/IP schools? -
KTKS:
usu. students appeal based on what reasons?

Son received his sec 3 combi late oct…wanted to appeal since his science results for sec 2 were not bad…But he changed his mind…only wanted pure bio. Pure sciences (3), 2 Math and social studies would be too heavy.
