Mr Irwin See

• Many students have come to me complaining of
  stress generated by their study of General Paper,
  a well-known GCE A-Level subject that has
  tortured numerous students.
• I take great care to find out the root cause of
  their pain, and come up with treatment plans to
  help take the pain out of studying for GP. Start
  your treatment process today by having a
  consultation. And yes, I am fond of metaphors,
  which happen to be really useful for writing GP
  essays! )

1. Lacking in Vocabulary?

• Dont know the meaning of _____________?
• Wish you knew what the writer is trying to say?
  Unfortuntaley, a poor vocabulary will hamper your
  GP proficiency for both Papers 1 and 2. An essay
  with overly simple expressions is not likely to
  impress. Attempting Paper 2 without being able to
  comprehend all the meanings of the various words
  used by the writer is a battle half-lost. Having
  a strong vocabulary is a must.

2. Poor Grammar?

• Think your sentences are properly formed? Check
  again! Grammar is the rule which dictates how
  sentences should be like. Poor grammar means poor
  command of the language, which is a big no-no!

3. Misusing Words?

• Wrong word usage used in the wrong context can
  greatly alter or distort the meaning of what you
  are trying to convey. The beauty of words and the
  precise nature of how to employ them in your GP
  writing makes all the difference.

4. Lack of Examples?

• Who has time for reading newspapers right?
  Unfortunately, you will need relevant examples,
  by hook or by crook. An essay without examples/
  statistics/ quotations will sound mundane at
  best, uncredible at worst. If you want to show
  that you are a great GP candidate, you will need
  to load up on examples!

5. Poor Time Management?

• Some students simply panic during the paper. Not
  finishing your AQ is a oft-quoted struggle for
  many JC students. If you find yourself struggling
  with time management during your GP exams, you
  are in danger of shortchanging yourself because
  you did not even get the chance to attempt the
  questions!
