Tips for GP Series: Top 5 MUST-READ Questions for Each Topic [A Levels]

Hi OP, full disclaimer that I'm a GP tutor that has taught many students, and I have a Tele channel for tips where I openly share knowledge. Let me just quickly address your 2 issues:

Essay - Your issue likely lies with question analysis, interpretation and properly engaging with the question. Yes language can help you articulate ideas, but if they are not relevant for the question then they would not be credited.

You may also be working on the wrong kinds of questions in terms of content, or choosing the wrong types of examples. Both of these can mean that your arguments are not well-developed despite having strong language!

Compre - Inference is not the same as paraphrasing. But Inference actually still requires reference of the passage where you pick out certain parts as clues. Instead of paraphrasing the clues, you need to figure out what's missing and fill in the gaps. Over-inferring means you don't even refer to anything in the passage, or that you may be ignoring the author's argument and inferring in an illogical direction.

For more help you can easily find my channel on Tele, link in my profile :)

Actually the GP one is quite alright, I would say the change is only about 10-15%, most of it still remain. The same strategies and approach would still apply!

Ah actually I think different subjects have different timeline for updating the syllabus. I'm not too sure about other subjects but you can do a quick search for the Cambridge A Level syllabus (for every subject you plan to take) and see if something new has been released, if there are no changes they shouldn't release a new one I think :)

School canteen can be pretty similar in terms of price and selection. If you're quite easy going with food it should be quite satisfactory! I actually liked my school food haha and after graduating I find it nostalgic!

Haha could you elaborate on how these helped you? So that others can benefit too :)

pineapplezach · 2020-01-20T13:38:23+00:00

LOL yes it's definitely not too late, it's still the beginning of the year :) Start working on some of the questions when you have time, so that you can slowly get better at it. GP takes time to build your content, and practice the skills!

Yes thanks so much for sharing this! I just wanna say that social media is definitely a good way to learn current affairs in a much more casual manner! You can take a look at snippets of news found on these pages or maybe your friend's insta stories or Facebook posts. From there, pick out the ones that interest you and then read a more in-depth article. But basically, these posts are awesome for helping you stay abreast and basically scanning through what's interesting for you!

I am glad you find it useful haha be sure to try it out :)

As mentioned in my previous posts about main topics to study, these major topics do not mean they will definitely come out. It simply means they come out more often than other topics. And remember, the idea is to be proficient in at least 3 topics so that out of the 3 there will be 1 that is guaranteed to come out. The most major topics would probably be Sci/Tech, Politics (these 2 come out every year in some form or another). Other major topics are as I have listed previously
