Needless to say, content becomes more in-depth, so students can no longer rely solely on textbooks, or memorize notes. H2 Chemistry is a demanding subject which introduces students to a more advanced syllabus of chemistry which stumps even the top chemistry scorers for O levels more often than not.
One of the main challenges facing secondary students is that content becomes more analytical and deduction-based, as these students are challenged to apply and not merely memorize what is taught.
What is the recommended practice routine to study Chemistry at a Level? Does doing as many practice papers as possible help? Why, or not?
While there is no sure-fire practice routine for studying A-Level Chemistry as each individual has his / her own preferred approach to study, the practice routine that New Dawn Learning Studio encourages all of its students to adopt has proved effective.
Since students usually feel overwhelmed by a load of content to study as the syllabus is undoubtedly extensive and very in-depth, students are recommended to start early and learn to be consistent in their studies. At any tuition center in Singapore, the lessons cover topics that are ahead of what is taught at school, so that students are better prepared. The tuition center also organizes topical workshops to help lagging behind students.
Therefore, students are advised to learn the concepts first, and then only try to practice papers later. To ensure that students don't merely memorize the content, they are encouraged to learn how to cross topics and apply learned concepts through the learning process. For a topic such as H2 Chemistry, quality naturally beats quantity; efficiency is measured not by the number of papers completed in practice, but by the quality of questions answered.
How does having a tutor in chemistry help students overcome the challenges?
That being said, tutoring has become an essential tool to help students better understand the syllables, especially for a subject like H2 Chemistry that is heavy on the content. Given that students have to take on a combination of subjects, all of which are relatively heavy and content, the time constraint is a common issue that many face. In some cases, students who are unable to practice good time management fail to allocate sufficient time in time for the A levels to study the entire syllabus.
Local university professional undergraduate courses such as Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy and Environmental Engineering and, of course, Chemistry (specializing in Materials, Medicine, Environment and Energy) all require H2 Chemistry as an entry requirement.
Please do a Google search on the term “A Level Topic Prerequisite” and you'll see results from university admission offices to the most updated information.
In addition, H2 Chemistry as an H2 subject easily fulfills the entry requirements of the other more selective university courses.
Chemistry is the heart of science
Most of the schools do not allow students to combine physics and biology. Instead, if you want to take 2 sciences into JC, Chemistry is needed. This is similar to the situation with combinations of O-Level Combined Sciences. This shows how important Chemistry is to Science as a foundation. H2 Chemistry is an application subject based on rules that will better assimilate you into the world of professionals applying consistent sets of universally agreed rules / principles.
H2 Chemistry tuition pays off
I can't deny it's hard with H2 Chemistry. However H2 Chemistry tuition can be managed with hard work and consistent effort. Of course, competent teachers and encouraging friends do play an enormous role in helping me get comfortable with the huge jump in content and the skills required for application. It won't be as straightforward and easy as in secondary school, but trust me, the H2 Chemistry tuition in Singapore will make your mind stronger.Image Source:Google ImageInformation Source:Ministry Of Education SingaporeMore Article: Beat the exam stress with the right tuition center
