DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MATH AND AM?
55
Given that 16𝑦−1 = 8, find the value of x. (EM) Soln: 24𝑦−4 = 23 4𝑦 − 4 = 3 𝑦 = 1 3 4
Solve 32−𝑦 + 3𝑦+1 = 12. (AM) Soln: 9 × 1
3𝑦 + 3 × 3𝑦=12
Let y be 3𝑦 3𝑧 + 9 𝑧 = 12 3𝑧2 − 12𝑧 + 9 = 0 𝑧 − 1 𝑧 − 3 = 0 𝑧 = 1 𝑝𝑠 3 𝑦 = 0 𝑝𝑠 𝑦 = 1
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MATH AND AM?

SO…WHICH ARE MY OPTIONS WITH AM?
1. Engineering courses 2. Applied Chemistry 3. Biomedical Sciences 4. Food Science and Technology 5. Mechatronics & Robotics 6. Information Technology 7. H2 Math in JC (Add Math a pre-requisite) 8. Further Math (to be taken with H2 Math)

FAQ (NORMAL ACAD)
he/she “automatically” be given ‘O’ Math in Upper Sec? All students who meet the cut-off will be offered. We encourage students to work consistently for their goals.
Sec, will he/she be able to take it in Upper Sec? Yes, if he/she meets the cut-off (2NA: 60%) and is interested to take.
58
FAQ (NORMAL ACAD)
takes ‘O’ Level Math or NA Math? The demands of O Math are higher than NA Math. O Level Math opens up more
Math? No. The topics covered in Add Math assumes the full knowledge of O Math. Students might not be able to handle the demands.
59
FAQ (EXPRESS)
to my dream courses limited? In JC, you NEED Add Math in order to take H2 Math (H1 being the easiest). Hence, work hard if this is your goal. For entry to Poly courses, either Elementary OR Additional Mathematics is required. It is good to have AM. If not, you can bridge the gap by working hard in Poly.
