E-Math or A-Math?
The question the fork above raises, and the one parents ask us most. The decision is not which of the two a student picks — it is whether they take the second one at all.
- Who takes it
O-Level E-Math
Every secondary student. It is the core mathematics syllabus.
O-Level A-Math
Optional — a second, more advanced mathematics subject a student chooses on top.
- What it covers
O-Level E-Math
Algebra, graphs and coordinate geometry, trigonometry, mensuration, statistics and probability.
O-Level A-Math
Calculus and deeper algebra, plus advanced trigonometry, the binomial theorem and proof.
- Taken with
O-Level E-Math
On its own, or alongside A-Math.
O-Level A-Math
Always alongside E-Math. Most students who take A-Math sit both, and we run dedicated classes for each.
- A-Math is strongly recommended for anyone intending to take H2 Mathematics in JC, because H2 assumes A-Math's calculus and algebra.
- From 2027 the Singapore-Cambridge SEC replaces the O-Level: E-Math becomes G3 Mathematics and A-Math becomes G3 Additional Mathematics. The content and difficulty are unchanged.
