Need help for JC subject combi!

My Dilemnas:

H1 or H2 Econs? Opinions pls. I heard the amt of content for h1 is more than double of h2 but i only want to take 3H2s and 1H1and Id rather take H2 phy,chem & math.

Also, i heard of a lot of ppl struggling with econs and so i would like to know what subject econs is most similar with so that i would have a certain measure of its difficulty for me.

How is econs similar to geography? I know ppl say it requires different skills and approach so its different but I want to know how similar is it in terms of memorizing and learning. I know ppl say all humans have the same amt of memorizing but it lit seemed easier than geog for me and so with ur opinions i want to see if it fits my style of memorizing.

I would like to know more abt the difficulty of h2 physics. My phy was A2 and bio B3(pure). I feel that i spent more time studying for bio during o levels because of the mugging but still got better for phy. My friend said that phy is rlly tough compared to bio, bio just mug all the way plus a bit of application.

Thanks

For economics, the more knowledge the more points you will have and the better your analysis and the more complete your answer will be from wider perspectives and in greater depth and inter linkages and more relevant examples.

I heard the amt of content for h1 is more than double of h2.

What kind of H1 subject has 2x the content of it's H2 version? The rationale for naming H1 and H2 is to reflect the amount of content : H2 = 2 x H1.

If you're like 90% of humans on this planet, then you're either more physics inclined, or your're more bio inclined (just like 90% of humans either prefer cats or dogs, few humans love or hate both equally). In other words, it's already in your DNA (or soul karma, whichever concept you prefer). It's unwise to choose based on what others say which is 'easier' for themselves, coz born biologists find biology naturally easier than physics, while born physicists find physics naturally easier than biology.

So don't listen to other pple, but decide for yourself. Two things you should take note :

#1 - Uni course prerequisites :

#2 - H2 Bio has more content to memorize than H2 Phys + H2 Chem combined. I'm not exaggerating. Be warned.

i am natural biologist,but i messed up my O levels and scored C5.Now I am going to go with physics/chem/math/Econs H1. High-five i guess

bloom130 SG

Sorry, typo: I heard the amt of content for h1 is more than half of h2 econs

bloom130 SG

also, i want to ask if its true that cjc is weak at teaching science subjects

I heard that h1 econs is 80% of h2 econs. So might as well take h2. My cousin said its not worth it to take h1

bloom130 SG

my problem is that i only want to take 3H2 and 1H1 and most pre requisites for the degrees i want in uni need H2 chem & Phy. and so with h2 PCM, i need a H1 econs. But since its not worth it to take h1, im still thinking if i should take h1 econs or h2 econs, in which case, i have to change 1 science sub to h1.

It doesn't matter whether you take Econs at H2 or H1 (ie. 4H2s or 3H2+1H1). But Physics and Chemistry must both be taken at H2, or it may ruin your life (eg. after A levels, you realize you wanna do Chem Engineering or some similar profession, for the rest of your life, but if you foolishly downgraded either your Phys or Chem to H1, you've screwed the rest of your life).

Newcomer99, is other humans subject also 80% of H2 or is it only econs?

I'm not sure about the other humans subjects. My school didn't say much about H1 humans subj too, since they recommend all students to take 4H2. I heard this is so that we can drop to H1 if we can't cope with H2

so what's your school?
