28 Jul All about JC2 Chemistry tuition
In Singapore, Junior Colleges are pre-university institutions that offer a two-year course. Students are accepted by junior colleges based on the aggregate of their L1R5 grading from their Cambridge GCE Ordinary Level examination. By the term of “L1R5”, the aggregate scores from the students’ subject grades are referred. This includes the first language and five other content subjects in the exam. The students of the first-year junior college who are now getting familiar with A-Level Chemistry need to be aware of two levels which are Higher (H1) and Higher 2 (H2). In this blog the chemistry tuition leader, Miracle Learning Centre explains what does H1, H2, and H3 actually mean for the JC students.
An important and central part of science in Chemistry and it bridges Physics, Geology, and Biology.

How will the students be tested?
The A-Level Chemistry syllabus of H2 has shifted the focus from factual material for understanding and application of scientific concepts and principles. Some questions may be there based on information that is unfamiliar to the student. This Miracle Learning Centre aims at demonstrating how to use principles and concepts which are within the syllabus so students can apply them logically during the exam. Students must be familiar with the format of the exam so that they know what to expect and what are the key areas on which they must focus during revision. The main point of difference among H1 and H2 chemistry lies with the scope of topics covered and the scheme of assessment.
