H1 Programme

The Problem with H1 Economics

The H1 Economics curriculum was first revised in 2017, with the first batch of students taking the revised H1 Economics curriculum in 2018. There were a few key changes made to the curriculum:

  1. Essays as a component was removed.

  2. The 2 case studies tested had an increase in marks from 30 marks to 45 marks per case study.

  3. Trade & globalisation was completely removed from the curriculum.

  4. Concepts such as decision-making framework, inclusive & sustainable growth were introduced

The H1 syllabus was then again, revised for the 2023 examinations, reducing each case study from 45 marks to 40 marks, with the total amount of time available for the paper unchanged.

With the removal of the essay component, H1 students may make the wrong assumption that essay-writing is not important. This is erroneous as essay-writing skills are tested in higher-order questions from 8m to 12m. With the case study questions seeing an increase from 30m - 45m, the number of higher order questions will also increase. Learning to write good, coherent and well structured essays is critical to answering such questions well! Most tuition centres do not have classes that are H1 exclusive. This means that the classes that are available for H1 students are not well targeted nor focused at dealing with the requirements of the revised H1 curriculum.

How do our H1 classes work
