Seriously, we do not want to sugarcoat. Yes, the A Level H1 General Paper syllabus is arguably the most difficult A Level subject for Junior College (JC) students to excel in. Why is that so?

Languages have always been slightly harder to master compared to more analytical subjects such as Math and Science. The Chinese language is no exception, and being a Mother Tongue, it presents even more challenges for the student today, who mostly have English as their main communicating language.

To understand the significance of Chemistry, we need to look at what it can be used for. Chemistry enables us to understand how our world works the way it does.
