      form your subject combination based on your passion and interest. Geog, although not as 'useful' as econs has many merits in understanding our environment, pollution, urban excess and human migration.



      yup I am interested in both subjects! which is why i'm in a dilemma...

        So you are an IP student. OK, then find out from your school which subject has the highest distinction rate follow by A and B grades.

            So you should consider geog favourably as you do not need a foundation in econs to pursue a course in business school.

                Please also consider your studying style. H2 Geography is very content based so be expected to memorise and study all your notes in detail. H2 Economics is very application based but less things to study. You must be able to think of ideas on the spot and have good grasp of English because the essays require you to argue your way through. I took both subjects at H2 and personally found Geography easier to score (and partly because I’ve no interest in Economics).


                Career options wise, Geography also has a broad range of careers to offer for Geog majors.

                If you are someone who wants to go into the examination hall being very well-prepared, Geography would be more suitable. If you’re a more "out of the box" person and likes to analyse things in detail, Economics suits you more.

                      For most JCs, you will need a good pass in Combined Science (with biology) or Pure biology. A few JCs will allow selection tests for those without O level biology to ascertain their suitability.

                        No. Even for H1, you have to do at least biology combine science in O levels. For H2 biology, the requirement is in general a B3-C6 for pure biology or a A2-B3 combine science with biology
