Short writeup:
2025 TMJC JC1 H2 Math WA1: An Easy Win or a Hidden Trap?
The 2025 TMJC JC1 H2 Math WA1 is a clear reflection of the school’s thoughtful approach to helping students settle into JC life. With many first-year students still adjusting to the pace and demands of JC, this paper appears deliberately simplified—providing breathing room for those juggling CCA, external commitments, and a brand new academic environment.
While this might seem like a blessing, it also means that the paper isn’t fully representative of the rigour students can expect later in the year. The topics tested weren’t explored in full depth. Key areas like reciprocal graph sketching were notably absent, limiting the paper’s effectiveness as a tool for serious prep.
On top of that, the structure of the paper was highly guided. Each part of a question subtly directed students toward the next, almost resembling a lecture-style worked example. For some, this made the paper feel more like a worksheet than an exam.
Still, this is not a paper to complain about. For students who simply revise their lecture examples and complete tutorials, a solid pass is almost guaranteed. And for the more consistent and diligent ones, this paper offers an easy A—a valuable head start toward meeting promotion criteria at the end of JC1.
That said, this paper is best used as timed practice for weaker students. It helps rebuild confidence, reinforces basic techniques, and provides a small win early in the year. But it should not be mistaken for the level of difficulty expected at Prelims or A Levels.
