H1, H2 and H3 — what's the difference?

  • H1 covers about half the content of an H2 subject. General Paper is an H1 subject that almost every JC student takes.
  • H2 is the full A-Level subject. Most students take three H2 subjects and one H1 content subject.
  • H3 is an optional extension of an H2 subject for strong students — for example H3 Mathematics or H3 Chemistry.

Some subjects have two syllabus codes in 2026 (for example H2 Chemistry 9729 and 9476) because a revised syllabus is being introduced. Both sit the same paper slot — check the code on your entry form.

Before the main papers

Mother Tongue written papers are on 2 June, listening in July, and the science practicals in October — Chemistry on 14 October, Physics on 19 October and Biology on 22 October, each in shifts. The main written papers start with General Paper on 2 November.

Teaching A-Level students? Plan your lessons around these dates

  • Plan around each student's combination. H2 Maths is on 3 and 6 November, but H2 Chemistry runs from 10 to 23 November — two students can finish weeks apart.
  • Prelims are your last full rehearsal. Most JCs hold them in August–September; add each student's prelim dates so lessons don't clash.
  • Paper days are for rest, not lessons. Use short consults on the days between papers instead of the usual lesson.
