H1 Mathematics (8865)

Section A (Pure Mathematics – 40 marks) will consist of about 5 questions. Section B (Probability and Statistics – 60 marks) will consist of 6 to 8 questions. There will be at least two questions, with at least one in each section, on the application of Mathematics in real-world contexts, including those from business and the social sciences. Each question will carry at least 12 marks and may require concepts and skills from more than one topic. Candidates are expected to answer ALL questions.

Comparison between H1 and H2 Mathematics

For Pure Mathematics, H1 Mathematics covers much lesser syllabus than H2 Mathematics, consisting mainly Additional Mathematics topics such as Log & Exponential Functions, Quadratic Functions and Calculus. For Statistics, H1 Mathematics does not cover Discrete Random Variables but the questions has same depth and rigour as H2 Mathematics. Students who have taken Additional Mathematics and passed the subject at the GCE ‘O’ level examination may take up H2 Mathematics. Students who did not take Additional Mathematics at the GCE ‘O’ level examination are advised to take H1 Mathematics. In some JCs, students who did not take Additional Mathematics at the GCE ‘O’ level examination have to obtain satisfactory results in a qualifying test in order to be considered for taking H2 Mathematics.
