All I can say is start preparing early.

Math 1za3: brutal exam just because there was a lot of series and sequences (ch 11) and few of the other material. There was a definite bell curve in that course.

Physics 1d03: I didn’t like physics that much , but if u at least go over the capa then the short answer section shouldn't be brutal for u. If u did the capa throughout the term, u should be fine (yea you can get a 60%). Multiple choice was kindda tricky to be honest.

Chem 1e03: umm class avg for that exam was 65% for us. It wasn’t easy , I can’t really elaborate on that exam, I found it hard, but what helped me pass was that I did the samples that he posted on avenue. I am pretty sure they are helpful.

If you start preparing early , then you should be fine. If you understand series and sequences in math u can do good in the exam. I just found them confusing.

That’s all I have to say, its 3 am , sorry I am half-asleep lol, but hopefully that will at least give u an idea on what to expect.

Good luck

Math : Hard. Prepare well ahead of time. As jim1 said, focus on series and sequences.

Chem: Do the practice questions. The exam is easy as far as I remember.

Phys: The exam is EXTREMELY easy, because the midterms are generally hard and people don't do too well in them. Believe me coz I hated Physics.

All easy. I don't really know what math course that is because we had 2 courses instead of 3, so it'll probably be easier because the material is split more.

Either way physics(CAPA!)/chem were managable, math 1z03 a bit tuff...
