well, i think it's very different..
of course you have to use h2 maths knowledge (integration, differentiation etc)
but most of time the topics are focused on proving and qualitative questions
btw there are various syllabuses you can choose from (depends on whether the jc offers it)
theres MOE, NTU, NUS if i'm not wrong
i took the MOE one and the topics are differential equations, graph theory, combinatorics and plane geometry
my school didn't teach us plane geometry though cause you can choose 2 out of the last 3 topics in the a levels paper (in other words, the school chose for us)
graph theory is mostly about proving and qualitative questions and modeling of real life problems
differential equations is mostly about population growth models or concentration models etc.
combinatorics is something like permutations and combinations (P&C is a subset of combinatorics)
