What JC students must know to achieve grade A for A Level General Paper

Through the years, the GCE A Level General Paper has always been that one subject feared by many students due to its challenging concepts and highly critical thinking that it entails. Every year, the topics covered under the syllabus serves to broaden in terms of complexity and depth. Both comprehension and essay questions are especially phrased in a way to push students’ thinking to their limits and push boundaries of the mind. More recently, there has been an emphasis on the integration of themes and topics so that students realise how interconnected both world and local issues are. Hence, there is a need for students to blend the knowledge (Social issues, Science & Technology etc.) they learnt and tackle the requirements of the examinations more comprehensively. As General Paper is a relatively new subject to most JC students, it will be beneficial for them to first understand what the syllabus requires of them as well as the examination format.
