I don't know how the education system works in Singapore, but presumably H1 and H2 refer to two separate years of study. Is that correct?

A Cambridge International A level is studied over two years, with an AS level being awarded after the first year and an A level being awarded after the second year. So I'd they're asking for "certain grades from 3 of my my Singapore or Cambridge A levels", then those would be grades after the second year of study - H2.

ok thank you but H1 and H2 are levels of study in the A-Level curriculum in Singapore. H1 subjects cover less content and provide foundational knowledge and is less intensive while H2 subjects cover more content and is more intensive and has a bigger workload.

OK. The curriculum is what you're taught and when you're taught it. Universities don't care about that. They care about the qualifications you receive as a result of sitting exams (and, in some cases, doing coursework).

They've asked for certain grades in your Cambridge International A levels. Those are specific qualifications (you get a certificate and everything! :wink:). When will you sit the exams which result in being awarded Cambridge International A level qualifications?

Are those exams for Singapore-specific qualifications, or for Cambridge International A levels?
