H2 Further Mathematics for 2016/2017 JC Students (Subject code: 9649)

By Leave a Comment

There is a slight revamp in the H2 Mathematics syllabus for 2016/2017 JC Students. On top of the (usual) H2 Mathematics (subject code: 9758), students who are mathematically inclined and want to specialise in Mathematics, Sciences or Engineering has another subject that they can consider: H2 Further Mathematics (subject code: 9649). 

According to SEAB, H2 Further Mathematics is to be offered with H2 Mathematics as a double mathematics course.

The syllabus for H2 Further Mathematics can be found at: http://www.seab.gov.sg/content/syllabus/alevel/2017Syllabus/9649_2017.pdf

 

 

For Secondary 4 O-Level Students: How to Prepare for 9758 H2 Mathematics

Update: If you are sitting for A-Level H2 Mathematics in 2016, your subject code is 9740.
If you are sitting for A-Level H2 Mathematics in 2017, your subject code is 9758. H2 Further Mathematics (subject code: 9649) is also offered with H2 Mathematics as a double Mathematics course.

To choose H2 Mathematics as one of your A-Level subjects, it is most likely you have learnt O-Level Additional Mathematics or similar syllabus like Integrated Mathematics for IP students.

Even SEAB (Singapore Examination Assessment Board) states in the syllabus content of H2 Mathematics (subject code: 9758), the assumed knowledge that a student must be familiar with from O-Level Additional Mathematics.

I will highly recommend students who think that you are not strong in the following topics to strengthen them during this holidays. By building a strong foundation in Additional Mathematics concepts will definitely benefit you in the learning of H2 Mathematics.

I write another blog for O-Level students on Additional & Elementary Mathematics at www.singaporeolevelmaths.com

The resources like questions discussion and videos explanations on the website can be helpful to you.
