what i'm up against

I have a lot of material to cover in preparation for my A levels. I figured that it would be a good starting point (for myself as well as you, dear voyeuristic reader! I jest) for this blog, and for my revision. Here we go:

H2 MATHEMATICS

01. Sequences & Series
02. Mathematical Induction
03. Binomial Series
04. System of Linear Equations & Inequalities
05. Curves & Transformation
06. Functions
07. P & C
08. Differentiation & App
09. Maclaurin's Series
10. Integration
11. Diff Equation
12. Vectors
13. Complex Numbers
14. Probability
15. Sampling Methods
16. Binomial/Poisson/Normal Distributions
17. Sample Mean
18. Hypothesis Testing

H2 ECONOMICS

Microeconomics
Scarcity, Choice, Opportunity Cost
Resource Allocation in Competitive Markets
Firms & How They Operate
Market Failure
- Market Dominance
- Externalities
- Inequity
Government Intervention
- Rationale
- Methods
- Failure

Macroeconomics
Key Economic Indicators (GDP/GNP, Inflation, Unemployment, Exchange Rate, BOP)
Income/Employment Determination
Macroeconomic Aims & Issues (Economic growth, maximum employment, stable price levels/exchange rates/balance of payments)
Macroeconomic Policies (Fiscal Policies, Monetary Policies, Supply-side Policies)
International Economics (Benefits from Trade, Globalization, Protectionism, FTAs)

H2 History
International History
The United Nations and Global Affairs (1945-2000)
The Cold War And How It Shaped The World (Origins, Extension, End)
The Development Of The Global Economy
Conflict and Co-operation (Arab-Israeli Conflict, Indo-Pakistan Conflict)

Southeast Asian History
ASEAN: 1967-1997
How Independence Was Achieved (Pre-WW2, Japanese Occupation, Post-WW2)
Challenges to Independent South East Asian States (Liberal Democracy? Maximum Govt? Role of Military? Communist Influence? National Unity? Minorities?)
Regional Conflicts and Co-operation (Political Disputes? Racial/Religious Influences?)

H1 Literature
Unseen Poetry
Great Expectations (Dickens)
Othello (Shakespeare)

H1 General Paper
General Paper is General!

All of the above (especially History) are just main points that go into much deeper detail. I realise that the list is not completely fleshed out and I am tempted to list it out, but I figure that it would be an unproductive use of time that would be better spent actually studying for now.
