Hello guys I just got a question here. Has the ‘A’ level
syllabus undergone a revamp for exam year 2013? Meaning next year
onwards is the new H1/H2 syllabus? Because for like H2 Chemistry,
the paper 2 now is 72 marks instead of 60 marks. I’m quite blur on
this kind of stuff so I will appreciate it if someone can help
Regards to the syllabus, almost every year there are minor (nothing
to bother about) revisions to the syllabus and exam paper formats.
The last major change was the Planning Qn for Paper 2.
You can find out the answer to your own question, by
comparing the 2012 and 2013 syllabuses :

What should be more of a concern (to teachers and
tutors, as well as to future cohorts of 'A' level
students), is not the syllabus change, but the deliberate (and
unannounced) increase in difficulty level of the H2 Chemistry
exam papers (year on year), as well as the rumoured decrease in
number of 'A' grades to be handed out from 2012 'A' levels
onwards.
