Singapore A Level H2 Chemistry Tuition

1) Charting your uni application

H2 chemistry is the subject of several widely sought-after courses on the university list as an entrance prerequisite, as mentioned before. A few of these courses include those in engineering, computing, and science. Medicine especially requires H2 Chemistry as the prerequisite. Taking H2 Chemistry enables students to develop their interest in the subject and develop the content and skills needed for further studies. For medicine, veterinary science, software development, surgery, engineering, environmental science, and many more, H2 Chemistry is essential. Seb Academy’s tailored A Level Chemistry Program provides a succinct H2 Chem Course to help students acquire useful tips and guide them to accelerate in getting their A in their mapping for university.

2) Crystal-clear Lecturing Style

Chemistry tuition at Seb Academy offers a concise and focused lecturing style. We know, with more than 15 years of experience lecturing A Levels Chemistry, how to help students achieve success in concepts such as energetics and organic chemistry. In JC Chemistry tuition, the point is to analyze the question quickly, and develop effective mind maps while solving the question to diagnose and evaluate correctly and efficiently.

3) Imparting core skills such as Deductive Skills

H2 chemistry teaches students how to develop hypotheses, a skill that is useful for research. It also strengthens students’ critical abilities and teaches them appropriate ways of constructing evidential and logical explanations. At Seb Academy, the realistic aspect of H2 chemistry also helps students hone their planning skills by applying what they have learned to perform experiments. Deductive skills are the most precious qualities conferred to the H2 Chemistry student, and this is not only targeted towards academics and scoring distinctions. It allows a student to appreciate deeply, Chemistry and develop a keen and intuitive guide to hypothetical thinking and making logical deductions as an individual. This is a valuable quality which would aid you in your career development as a person with quick deductive skills, sound logical decisions while developing strong hypothesis and testing them. And this is a core belief for Seb Academy pedagogy for our JC Chemistry tuition program.

4) Concrete Question Application and Data Handling

Chemistry is a popular ‘central science’ subject. A Level Chemistry requires students to understand core Chemistry topics across many disciplines; the diversity of the topics is spread from moles in one part of the question, to redox, to energetics and some parts of the questions require students to demonstrate a sharp aptitude to data handling. At Seb Academy, we teach JC Chemistry tuition at the H2 level with a zest in relating to everyday life and teaches students to apply their scientific knowledge to tackle real-life scenarios like environmental problems and sustainable food production. Organic Chemistry is an arm of Chemistry tested that is extremely applicable to what we see every day.

5) H3 Chemistry

Junior college students who are considering moving onto H3 Chemistry have more reason to take H2 Chemistry should you think about pursuing a career in the sciences industry. While both H2 and H3 Chemistry test extensively on applications and deductions, H3 Chemistry offers an in-depth study of advanced chemistry concepts. Thinking about furthering your studies in Chemistry and want to apply for a scholarship? H2 and H3 Chemistry are absolute essentials! Enquire with our experienced teachers.

1. A Level Chemistry H2 Paper 1 – Multiple Choice Questions, duration: 1 hour

In the old syllabus, students had to answer 40 multiple-choice questions within an hour; this has been reduced to 30 questions now in the new A Level H2 Chemistry Syllabus, within the same timeframe. Since there are fewer questions it is quite possible that they may be more challenging or the calculations lengthier than previous papers; the extra time definitely helps, of course. The second change in Paper 1 is that whereas its weight used to be 20% in the previous syllabus, this has now been reduced to 15% instead.

 2. A Level Chemistry H2 Paper 2 – Structured Questions, duration: 2 hours

This paper tests how students evaluate information and includes data-based questions for this very purpose. All of the questions in Paper 2 are compulsory. The main changes to note in Paper 2 is that its weight has been increased from 25% to 30% and that the Planning Question has been shifted to Paper 4 now.

In order to do well in this section, students should have knowledge of all aspects of the Chemistry syllabus and should be able to apply the concepts in innovative and conceptual questions. Paper 2 is defined to test students’ thinking skills, and since its weight has increased, candidates should expect a bit more challenge from it in future A Level Chemistry exams.

3. A Level Chemistry H2 Paper 3 (Free Response Questions), duration: 2 hours

Paper 3 has been divided into two sections in the new H2 Chemistry syllabus. All of the questions in Section A are compulsory; it will consist of 3 to 4 questions, each carrying a valuation of 15 to 20 marks. The total marks allotted to Section A is 60.

Section B, on the other hand, has options for the students. They will need to attempt 1 question out of 2, with it being worth 20 marks. Therefore, when combined the whole of Paper 3 holds 80 marks in total, which is the same as the old syllabus; its weight also remains unchanged at 35%. The main changes have occurred in the structuring of the paper. Previously, students had to answer 4 out of 5 questions, whereas now the paper has been split into sections, with one part being made compulsory for all.

4. Paper 4 (Practical), Duration: 2 hours 30 minutes

The weight of the practical Chemistry exam is 20% of the whole syllabus. Students will be tested on various skills including planning, measurement and observation, presentation of results and data, analysis, etc. The biggest change in the new syllabus lies in Paper 4 because the School-based Science Practical Assessment (SPA) has been officially removed.

Previously, the practical exam marks were split into three stages for students: they sat for one exam in JC1 Term 3, one in JC2 Term 2, and the remaining planning question was embedded as a part of Paper 2. All of these sections have now been combined into one big paper. As a result, it can cause a bit more pressure for students, since they can no longer prepare for the paper in stages.

The good news is that the changes in the new Chemistry Syllabus do not involve huge additions to or removals from the core content – most of the change is structural. For instance, the syllabus points are now arranged into ‘Core Ideas’ and Extension Topics’, but the points themselves remain unchanged.

No matter the syllabus, the key to doing well in the exam still remains the same: practice, practice, and a lot more practice!
