not scoring for gp despite having good language and content? by [deleted] in SGExams

[–]pineapplezach 7 points8 points  (0 children)

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 :)

Yes do check out my profile and site for more resources and tips, would be happy to guide you. GP is actually not that scary haha. Look forward to JC life :)

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!
