JC 2 homeschool curriculum
A-level and other post-secondary examinations are run by SEAB with MOE. The topics here are foundational preparation only — check syllabuses and private candidate rules with SEAB.
These JC 2 topics extend foundational senior mathematics. Learners apply differentiation rules to find stationary points and solve optimisation problems, meet integration as the reverse of differentiation and as a way to find areas, and use the normal distribution and discrete random variables to reason about data and chance. A financial topic connects recurrence relations to loans and annuities. Families should check the specific requirements of their state or territory's senior courses.
These JC 2 topics strengthen the higher-order skills that senior English courses commonly draw on: structuring comparative essays, evaluating the reasoning in arguments, responding to unseen texts and considering texts through different critical perspectives. They are general skill-building resources to support, not replace, the requirements of a learner's state or territory course.
JC 2 science is studied as specialised subjects set by each state or territory. These foundational topics consolidate key ideas that appear across many senior courses: predicting inheritance with genetics, understanding chemical equilibrium, analysing electric circuits, exploring organic chemistry and examining Earth's energy balance and climate. The focus is on clear reasoning, quantitative problem-solving and evaluating evidence.
