Hi,
(I am new and just wanna help XD)
It all depends on which is your flair. Is it English, and the
capability to think critically, or solving equations that looks
like they don't make sense?
You don't need a background to do H2 Lit, you just need to have
a good command of English. Having taken H2 Lit myself and
experienced the demands of it, I must say it is not an easy
subject. Lets face it, ALL the 'A' Level subjects demand alot of
rigour from you. If lets say, you are taking H2 Lit, are you able
to think further than what the average students across all the JCs
think? (and you have to remember, you're doing 5 books in total, if
you're taking H2 Lit. Will you be able to remember all the
contents, the analysis, the quotes?)
On the other hand, I really think H2 Math is quite useful. It
gives you a broad range of courses that accepts H2 Math as one of
the prerequisites. Don't get me wrong, I am not advising you to
take H2 Math in place of H2 Lit...
Follow your heart. See which one you lean to most. Point out
which one is your weaknesses. Because in order to really succeed
for 'A' Levels, you need to have the passion for that particular
subject. With this passion, it drives a hunger to know more. :)
Jiayou!
