H2 Math Summary Booklet: The Ultimate Study Guide (2026)
.jpg&w=1536&q=75)
Two weeks before A-Levels, Student A flips through 600 pages of scattered notes searching for the Integration by Parts formula. Student B opens a 150-page summary booklet, finds the formula instantly, and practises three related questions with video explanations.
Guess who learns faster — and scores higher? After working with hundreds of JC students, I've noticed a consistent trend: A-grade students don't just study harder — they study smarter. They use structured, active revision tools that keep them confident, consistent, and efficient.
The Tim Gan Math H2 Mathematics Essentials (2nd Edition, 2025 Syllabus) is one such tool — a comprehensive, interactive study system that condenses everything you need for H2 Math success into 150 pages of formulas, methods, questions, and video explanations.
Why You Need a Comprehensive H2 Math Summary Booklet
1️⃣ The Revision Efficiency Problem
Traditional notes are long, fragmented, and time-consuming to navigate. With 22 topics and hundreds of sub-concepts, flipping through loose notes can take hours.
| Type | Time to Find Formula | Time to Review Topic | Total Revision Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scattered Notes | 3–5 mins | 1–2 hours | 22–44 hours |
| 150-Page Summary Booklet | 10–20 sec | 20–40 mins | 8–12 hours |
Efficiency Gain: 60–70% of revision time saved.
But what really sets our summary apart is interactivity: Each section includes curated practice questions paired with QR codes linking to full video solutions — so students can review, practise, and clarify instantly, without waiting for class.
Example:
Integration section → read summary → attempt 3 practice Qs → scan QR → watch worked-solution video → understand immediately.
→ Concept + application + reinforcement — all in one sitting.
2️⃣ Cognitive Load Reduction
When tackling complex A-Level questions, your brain handles multiple tasks at once:
- Interpreting the question (2–3 mental slots)
- Choosing a strategy (2–3 slots)
- Carrying out calculations (1–2 slots)
That's already 6–8 slots occupied — and if recalling formulas also takes effort, you risk mental overload.
Our booklet tackles this through overlearning + reinforcement:
✅ Key formulas and methods appear on every page
✅ Repeated exposure through linked practice videos builds automatic recall
✅ Reduces anxiety and cognitive fatigue during exams
By exam season, most students using the system report faster recall and sharper focus — because the brain isn't juggling both memory and reasoning under pressure.
3️⃣ Strategic Pattern Recognition
True mastery in H2 Math isn't just knowing formulas — it's recognising patterns and selecting the right approach instantly.
Each topic section in our booklet highlights these recurring patterns:
Integration Patterns
- $\frac{f'(x)}{f(x)} \rightarrow \ln|f(x)|$
- Product of two functions → Integration by Parts
- Rational function → Partial Fractions
- Denominator with roots → Trig Substitution
Statistics Decision Tree
- Fixed trials + constant probability → Binomial
- Events in interval + constant rate → Poisson
- Large sample size → Normal Approximation
- Hypothesis testing → Identify parameter → Choose test → Compare p-value
With embedded practice questions and corresponding video explanations, students can see how these patterns work across multiple problems — turning theory into instinct.
Inside the H2 Mathematics Essentials Booklet
Our 150-page summary booklet covers all 22 topics in the 9758 syllabus, divided into two major sections:
- Part 1: Pure Mathematics (Topics 1–15)
- Part 2: Statistics (Topics 16–22)
Each topic includes:
✅ Concise key formulas and definitions
✅ Step-by-step methods and flowcharts
✅ Common pitfalls and exam-tip callouts
✅ 3–6 curated practice questions
✅ QR codes to video explanations for every question
✅ Visuals such as graphs, vector diagrams, and distribution curves
This makes it both a summary and a guided practice workbook — ideal for review between lessons or during independent study.
Why 150 Pages (And Not 40)
Some students expect a "thin" summary book. But a 40-page list of formulas can't prepare you for the depth and reasoning needed at A-Levels.
Our 150-page structure strikes the ideal balance between comprehensiveness and efficiency:
✅ Covers every syllabus objective in detail
✅ Fits comfortably into a 1- to 2-week revision plan
✅ Enables active learning through questions + videos
✅ Prevents knowledge gaps that cost marks in Paper 2
It's not about memorising more — it's about learning smarter.
How to Use the Summary Booklet Effectively
JC1 (Topic Mastery Phase)
- Review each new topic section as you learn it
- Attempt included questions immediately after class
- Watch linked videos to correct misunderstandings
JC2 Term 1–2 (Maintenance Phase)
- Revisit 2–3 topics weekly
- Track weak areas by noting which video explanations you rewatch
JC2 Term 3 (Exam Phase)
- 30–60 minutes daily
- Cycle through all 22 topics every 3 days
- Aim for > 90% recall without reference by A-Levels
This cycle ensures both conceptual retention and exam speed.
Conclusion
A great H2 Math summary booklet isn't a "cheat sheet." It's a complete revision ecosystem that turns passive study into active mastery.
Action Steps:
150 pages of structured summaries
Topic-specific practice questions
Linked video explanations for instant feedback
60–70% less time wasted flipping through notes
Stronger conceptual recall and confidence
