JC 2 H2/H1 Math Reflections …

Posted on by admin

I was teaching the Normal Distribution last night, including using it to approximate the Binomial Distribution. As usual, students have difficulties with the following:

(a) knowing the difference between Var (X1 + X2 + X3) and Var (3X), and knowing WHEN the question refers to which;

(b) doing continuity correction for P(X> k) or P(X < k) when X is a discrete variable and there is a need to approximate its distribution to Normal.

I suggest students read their H2 Math textbook carefully and thoroughly, if their own JC notes are inadequate. As you know, in Math, mistakes done at the START of the working will most likely cost you ALL the marks even if your answer is one page long.  : )

ORIGINAL POST (OUTDATED):

 

Last night we covered the following items:

For Paper 1: (a) Selection of essay qn based on personal strength and preparation; (b) sample essay outlines.

For Paper 2: (a) Intro to AQ and short exercise; (b) Vocab explanation, how to derive answer from passage, how to find relevant points frm passage for your answer.

I had a chat with a parent and I understood her concerns abt her son in relation to GP. Yes, GP is a demanding subject. You need to have good (i) qn analysis skills, (ii) brainstorming skills, (iii) essay writing skills (intro, body, conclusion), (iv) demonstration of maturity, (v) use of language including grammar, vocabulary, sentence structure and style, (vi) inference skills, (vii) summary skills and other skills such as synthesis and evaluation.

Did you know that …

that you DON’T have to pass GP in order to be admitted to NUS? However, a low score in GP will affect your total academic score for the purpose of admission. The following is taken from their website:

New Singapore-Cambridge ‘A’ Level Curriculum (H1/H2/H3 Subjects)

Applicants (regardless of nationality) presenting the Singapore-Cambridge GCE A-Levels (H1/H2/H3 curriculum) are required to meet the following minimum academic requirements:

    1. Pass in at least two subjects at H2 Level and offer either General Paper (GP) or Knowledge & Inquiry (KI) in the same sitting.
    2. Meet the Mother Tongue Language (MTL) requirement for admission by having one of the following:
      1. minimum of D7 for the higher MTL paper taken at the ‘O’ Level examination.
      2. minimum of ‘S’ grade for the H1 MTL paper or General Studies in Chinese.
      3. minimum of ‘S’ grade for the H2 MTLL paper taken at the ‘A’ Level examination.
      4. pass in the MTL ‘B’ Syllabus paper at the ‘A’ Level examination.
      If you have been exempted from MTL, the MOE-approved subject-in-lieu will be considered as your MTL subject.

Wishing all ‘A’ Level students …..

Posted on by admin

On behalf of all my tutors, I would like to wish all ‘A’ Level students, especially those whom we have personally tutored, great success in their coming examinations. No matter what happens, you cannot change the past but you can influence the future. You already have what it takes to be great people. So just take action, perform when the time comes, and carry on the good work.
