Short writeup:
The 2025 Chung Cheng High School (Yishun) A Math Paper 2 is one of the more challenging papers this season — but not in the way most students might expect.Unlike the 2024 version, which leaned heavily on tedious and mechanical questions, this year’s paper takes a refreshing turn by introducing conceptually challenging and thought-provoking problems that demand real understanding instead of routine memorization.
A Paper That Rewards Thinking Over Practice
For many students, this paper will feel intimidating. Most questions do not look familiar at first glance — a rare trait in A Math papers, where students often rely on muscle memory after endless drilling.
Instead, Chung Cheng High (Yishun) designed a paper that blends conceptual reasoning with technical execution. There are still a few tedious, computationally heavy questions, but the heart of the paper lies in its insightful problem design — the kind that requires students to pause, interpret, and think logically before diving into equations.
In other words, it’s a paper that distinguishes between students who can solve, and students who can think.
A Balanced Challenge for Above-Average Students
While some prelim papers aim to overwhelm students with unnecessary complexity, this one strikes a much healthier balance. The difficulty stems from how questions are structured rather than from obscure content or unrealistic twists.
Above-average students will find the challenge meaningful — not frustrating. They’ll learn to connect ideas across topics, approach questions from different angles, and realize that sometimes, clarity of thought beats endless practice.
This is also what makes it such a valuable learning tool. With proper guidance, students can extract powerful insights from this paper that elevate their problem-solving ability for the actual O Levels.
Final Thoughts
Overall, the 2025 Chung Cheng High School (Yishun) A Math Paper 2 is a decent but demanding paper that rewards students who think critically rather than memorize blindly.
We recommend students attempt selected questions individually under timed conditions instead of doing the entire paper at once. These questions are best unpacked with a mentor — someone who can guide you through the reasoning process and highlight the insights behind each step.
