possible to survive in JC without A math?
-
I really have to take H2 math even though I have to struggle, if not I'm closing the doors of a lot of courses in the uni.Originally posted by Yaimster:it will be hard, since it is now called H2 Maths. Some F Maths topics are transferred to H2 Maths. Like finding angles of 3-D Vectors, Regression and Collrelation (This also appeared in H1 as well :evil
, among others.
Dont take H2 Maths, unless you really like Maths and you dont have any other H2 subjects to choose from. -
I don't know about the old system, since I'm the pioneer batch to take this H1/H2 thing (my A's are this year), so whether anyone have survived H2 maths without prior experience in A Maths is unknown yet.Originally posted by sir sickolot II:I agree it will be tough, not only intially but throughout... but many people before you have done it.. so why not you?
But I would say it is the content and not the skills that you would need to master. I suggest taking 4 H2 subjects even after the 1st 3 months and wait and see if the NUS or NTU would release the new requirements for courses (we still don't know how marks are calculated under the new system). If you can't cope by the end of JC1, consider dropping maths (or something else) to H1, provided it doesn't prevent you from entering your desired uni course. -
good luck to TS

really? I thought all engine courses requires h2 maths and physics apart from chem engineOriginally posted by Yaimster:it will be hard, since it is now called H2 Maths.

Dont take H2 Maths, unless you really like Maths and you dont have any other H2 subjects to choose from. Many Engineering courses in Unis now only require a H1 Pass in Maths (that's the minimumof course, you need to do well in others subjects la, that's why you need to choose your subjects to read carefully). -
Need H2 Maths and Physics to take engineering courses.Originally posted by aloof_guy:really? I thought all engine courses requires h2 maths and physics apart from chem engine -
Borrow AMaths notes from your friends - I'm assuming that a lot of people around you took AMaths.
Get them to tuition you.
Borrow the Ten Year Series and practice.
It would not be easy at first, but at some point, everything would be understood eventually. This happened to me at my O levels when I suddenly grasped my AMaths. -
I did that. Took ALL their notes.Originally posted by secretliker:Borrow AMaths notes from your friends - I'm assuming that a lot of people around you took AMaths.

Mathematics at academic level is not difficult.
If you look at it, everything are but some symbols, diagrams, concepts and formulae.
Will get it some day. -
Ya.. But it isnt easy to be solved once mixed together.Originally posted by secretliker:Mathematics at academic level is not difficult.

can survive one.
at worse, repeat only mah... like my friend who didnt take a maths in sec sch.

Repeating is something I wanna avoid at ALL cost.Originally posted by sinicker:can survive one.

dun think is possible

hahas take h1 math.. i suppose you're familiar with the jc syllabus right? h1 math is about the standard of that of e math back in secondary school (seriously) the gap between h1 and 2 is quite large.. so try h1 math.. still in 1st 3 mths anyway right? you have all the time =)

i think you shouldnt have that "kiasu" mentally that not doing that maths and physics combi will close the door to many courses. No doubt it will not allow to do some engineering courses,but is that what you want to do in future?why struggle to score mediocre grades at the A level?
Firstly ask yourself what do you want to do when you go into the Uni. Now would be a good time to start researching on the course requirements.DO ALL THIS BEFORE NEW INTAKE OF JC STUDENTS COME IN. At least you still have time to change subject combinations.

LoLs.. But it'll be so funny if I took H2 Physics without H2 Math. Dont think my school will allow it either.
-
During my first three month, I took H1 Econs, H2 Math, Physics and Computing. Bear in mind that I do not have an A math background, meaning I did not take A math at O levels; and I took only combined science(physics/chem). My seniors told me that even with A math, the entire cohord still flunk physics badly. Now I'm kinda struggling with H2 Math already. Doing okay with Physics. But I'm scare Physics will become another huge burden in the future. Thus, I've thought of dropping Physics and taking H2 Chem after first three month.
Anyone recommend me on my subject combi? Taking chem might be able to lessen my burden but my interest lies in physics. -
Any helps?

AFAIK, physics is a requirement for taking computing. So if you don't have it, prepare to drop computing as well. One suggestion I'd have if you used to take combined sciences is take H1 physics instead and take H2 econs. The difference between H2 and H1 econs isn't really that big, just content wise stuff only. Or you can just try to take 4 H2 then drop whichever one you want at the end of JC1, saves you the thinking
-
For now, I'm feeling that Mathematics is easier than the Sciences for H2.
-
Well lets put it this way. Im j2 and i have 2 classmates who didn't take A maths and we're currently taking H2 Maths. One's a girl whose hardworking and she beats me at math tests and the other one's average. So if you're hardworking you can definitely do it.
Its mainly differentiation and integration in A maths that you need to learn. pretty easy. -
Physics requirement for taking computing? It doesnt applies to my current JC leh. You sure a prerequisite for computing is physics?Originally posted by enemychaser:AFAIK, physics is a requirement for taking computing. So if you don't have it, prepare to drop computing as well.
