🧑🏫 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about H1 Math
❓ Is H1 Math really easier than H2 Math?
Generally yes—H1 Math has fewer topics and more application-based questions. However, it’s still very rigorous and assumes Sec 4 A-Math background.
❓ I wasn’t good at Math in Sec 4. Can I still do well in H1?
Absolutely! H1 focuses more on application and understanding than raw speed. With consistent effort and support, many students go from fail to distinction!
❓ How many marks do I need to get an A?
This varies year to year, but aiming for 75–80% is generally safe. Focus more on accuracy than rushing to complete.
❓ Can I take H1 Math if I didn’t do A-Math?
Some JCs allow it with bridging courses, but it’s tough without A-Math background. Check with your school’s policy.
