  dropped my h2 chem to h1 chem in around august last year.
  but the grade scored in my promos still cmi.
  
  i'm the only one in my class that's taking h1 chem currently.
  and my chem teacher is like focusing on the majority of the class (ie. the h2 chem students).
  when i went to look for the teacher for help, the teacher sometimes will explain to me using things/terms which are taught in h2 chem, and i will be even more confused after consulting the teacher.
  the teacher is not very clear about h1 chem syllabus lah, i guess?
  
  been searching for tuition services during the hols.
  but most of them only provide tuition for h2 chem.
  
  what's gonna happen to people with h1 chem like me?
  worried leh.
  this year A levels liao...

  hi there.
  
  it's not that im blaming others or what.
  but yea, that's the way things are.
  
  i've put in quite a lot of effort to improve my grades after my mid-years.
  been reading up on the syllabus required for h1 chem, looking for tuition services, consulting my teacher, staying back after school to clarify doubts with friends and lecturers, buying guidebooks and assessments to do, but still things are not looking pretty good.
  
  *tuition - most don't provide h1 chem tuition service.
  *consultation with teacher - she admits that she's not very clear of the syllabus for h1 chem as well and she reckons that i should find some tutors who are specialised in teaching h1 chem.
  *friends & lecturers - kinda the same problem as above.
  *guidebooks and assessments - manage to find only one book solely dedicated to h1 chem.
  
  my chem grade has gone up from a U-grade in my mid-years to an E in my promos.
  but yea, to me and i guess to almost everyone, a U to an E is not a big deal.
  so i need to know what more i can do to improve the grades.
  
  perhaps people here have better ways or know some good tutors who are providing tuition for h1 chem?
  
  i'm seeking help here, not trying to push the blame to others/other things.
  just typing out everything so that people can be clearer about my situation.
  
  thanks for your understanding. =)

  actually h1 chem should be not much different from h2, only that it has lesser topics and not so intensive. so yr teacher, a bit weird. if she teaches chem h2, i thought she should know h1 even better,aint it something like a foundation/basics? i suggest you find other people with h1 chem. there's bound to be people in yr jc with h1 chem. then maybe talk to the HOD of chem or level head to ask for help. after a levels are impt. wad jc ar?
