The HSC Physics syllabus is laughable (1 Viewer)

[SS173]

in the early 2000s singapore said international gce did not meet their requirements so they came to an agreement with gce to make a tailor-made version of gce called the singapore-gce. in singapore this gave rise to new levels called h1, h2, h3.

those papers i put before are all h3 level physics

another example is in maths. in the new extension 2 syllabus there is prove and use cauchy-schwarz inequality. this is not in international-gce, but is in the singapore-gce h3 level. so in preparing for new extension 2 syllabus u can look at singapore-gce h3 maths papers for prove and use cauchy-schwarz inequality examples

We had PSSC physics at my special science high school. We didn't learn calculus based physics. Actually there were few formulas and problems in our textbook compared to the other books. But we learned the fundamentals very well. When we went to uni to study engineering or science , the first year physics looked very easy. Almost all of us got A's.
Based on this experience , I prefer teaching the fundamental concepts very well in high school.

No way. Vce specialist is way easier than math ext 2.

specialist < 4u but vce science > hsc science

I actually agree with that, its quite irritating when u gotta learn that. In physics one time we spent a lesson learning how they use ramps....... Yeah its a big waste of time...... I'm not trying to be racist or anything but even the teachers have expressed annoyance with those topics.

to be fair there's barely any aboriginal stuff to learn in chem and it's rly just application of equilibrium/lcp

(pretend the mod 6 aboriginal stuff aint exist cuz no one ever mentions that)

Still annoying
