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
- Immediate access to worked solutions anytime
- Higher accuracy under exam conditions
