What happens at the end of Y4 IP?

After your final exam in Y4 IP, you will be streamed into different classes for Y5 and Y6 based on your competencies and Y4 subject combination. As a parent or student, you might ask, what options are made available to me? The following few paragraphs will illustrate to you the paths you can take from Y5 onwards.

Y5 follows the Junior College system, which grades subjects based on H1 and H2. In Y5, you are required to take the following, H1 General Paper, H1 project work, H1 Higher Mother Tongue (most students are exempted as long as they have passed higher mother tongue in O level), and last but not least, to decide on the 3H2,1H1 or the 4H2 combination.

What is the significance of 3H2, 1H1 versus 4H2? A subject taken at the H2 level is deeper as compared to taking it at the H1 level, and it also bears a more significant weight when it comes to calculation of rank points. IP students who wish to take the 4H2 combination would also typically have to maintain a 3.0GPA in most schools for Y4. Otherwise, you will have to take the 3H2, 1H1 combination.

What is the purpose of taking 4H2 then if it gives more workload? Typically, students taking the 4H2 combination would have a wider variety of H2 subjects to choose from, which will give them more choices in University. Some courses, such as Chemical Engineering, require the student to take H2 chemistry at Alevel as a pre-requisite. If a student has not taken chemistry as he has taken H2 physics, H2 Math and H2 Econs, they will not be allowed to make the choice of taking such a course at University and would have to settle for other courses such as mechanical engineering, as compared to a student who has taken the 4H2 combination such as H2 Physics, H2 Math, H2 Chem and H2 Econs, who can take almost all engineering courses. 4H2 combination also typically opens more doors to scholarships, and certain courses such as medicine would also require students to take 4H2.

So is taking 3H2,H1 bad? Not necessarily. By taking that combination, an IP student would have more time to focus on all of their subjects, and eventually even perform better than their peers at Alevels. Students who are very sure of their path in University and want to forgo the stress of handling 4H2s can opt for the 3H2, H1 plan as well. This leaves more time to attend to extra-curricular activities and also other actvities such as learning programming or other important skills that are valued in the workforce. The student can still stream into popular courses such as computer science, engineering, and sciences with only 3H2s.

If you have failed the promotional exams and feel very lost, please schedule a consultation with me ASAP.

IMPORTANCE of HEAD START for ECONOMICS

Hi all,

I am Mr Jimmy Teh, currently a tutor for Economics Headstart and Relearning Programme with SG Learner.

I have taught in JC since 2008, before venturing into tuition in 2015.

As a former teacher who was once in a mainstream school, I am aware of the rigour of JC curriculum and how it is designed to promote critical thinkers and self-directed learners. However, there will be times when it will be difficult, especially during the whole preparation for the new term, orientations for the group leaders and even those competing and preparing for their CCA major competitions.

Thus, I feel it will be crucial to have programmes specially catered to these group of students who might find their first term of school to be exceedingly overwhelming and would prefer to have some fundaments covered.

These courses are planned with a unique set of notes for easy learning and come with its own diagnostics to help you to identify the root cause of your issues, be it inadequacies in the understanding of content, unable to tackle the question fully or not using the right words for the answers.

Work done will also be fully assessed, with sufficient rigour and exposure in these programmes.

So feel free to join me in our programs at Bukit Batok!

Contact 6569 4897 or whatsapp 9385 5341 for more details.

We understand that Economics is a challenging subject, and in the current climate, it is no longer sufficient to rely on rote learning, regurgitating of content and memorising model essays/case studies. Questions in school exams and A-level are testing students on their inference and higher order thinking skills.

Common misconceptions or pitfalls:
1. Just memorize and hope for the best by rewriting the notes, without studying smarter

2. Write more, the more the better, without focusing on proper evaluation techniques

3. Study everything instead of focusing on certain key areas

4. Study last minute and think that time is on your side

5. Study the content instead of studying how the question is designed and the hints behind each keyword

Classes are designed to be small (around 5 pax) in order to facilitate discussion and allow the tutor to focus on the strengths and weaknesses of each individual students. If you are having trouble with economics, not satisfied with your grades despite your best efforts, writing a lot but not doing well, or want to secure an A both in School and in the A-level, sign up for class with us today.

FAQ Section from Mr Teh:

Q: Does the tutor have his own notes/tutorial/new and updated case study examples, i.e. when there is a new budget or policy released in Singapore, will he use it as class material?
A: Definitely. We understand that one of the criteria in the evaluation component of Economics paper, requires candidates awareness of real world context. Besides using our own teaching material that builds out students evaluative skills, current events are also discussed regularly in class, before scaffolding these discussions and apply them to meet exam requirements.

Q: How is the structure of the lesson i.e. How much time dedicated to lecture vs class work?

A: About 40percent is allocated for content, whereas the rest are focused on applications. We understand our role, and that we are a complement to school’s programme. Thus, whenever there is a lack of practice in particular area (for example, understanding the question requirements and how to analyse adequately), we focus on these areas to maximise the gains for our students. Thus, every class can be different, as the tutor will adjust accordingly to the issues of each class.

Q: Will there be homework issued like essays and case study questions and will the tutor mark the work?
A: There is homework, but these is also discussed with the students as we understand the rigour they might be facing in schools. Every piece of homework given is marked and reviewed with the student.

 

Q: Will there be time dedicated to class discussion for case studies and essays?
A: Yes. As we focused more on the applications aspect, and we come to understand that this aspect is not regularly practiced in school, we see it as a crucial opportunity for us to practise this skill with our students.

Q: How do you plan to separate the H1/H2 students?
A: yes, they are always separated into different classes, and they should, as their examination and skillsets required are different.

Q: Some schools have different syllabus, e.g. some start on macro in J1 instead of micro(HCI, NYJC, VJC), do you separate classes based on syllabus?

A: They are being taken into consideration when we planned for classes. Thus, we always seek to work with students, and not making things more difficult for them.

Q: Are there online classes and do you have plans to do a pure online class or a hybrid class i.e. some online some physical

A: Most of the students currently prefer to have lessons in person, as there are certain skills that require them to practice on the spot. However, we also have students whom prefer online lessons and we also do make arrangements for that. In fact, hybrid classes were already a regular part of our lessons since Circuit Breaker ended.

Q: We prefer online classes as we live further away, can you walk us through what a typical online class will be like?

A:  A link to the online classroom will be sent to either you or your child’s Whatsapp account a few minutes before the start of the class. Materials used for the class will be sent to you in a PDF or word format by email at least a day before the class itself. Parents are welcome to come down physically and collect printed materials if they wish. Online class has the same class size limit as physical class. Once attendance is taken and the tutor is sure that all students are accounted for, the class begins just like any regular class. Lesson materials are projected onto the screen in the online classroom, and there is a whiteboard function which the tutors will use to write, and presentation function for Power point slides. Classwork is expected to be submitted to the tutor via camscanner in PDF format, and the marked work will be returned to them in PDF format. For students who are more shy in nature, they may choose to private message the tutor to address their concerns during class. The experience will be the same as a physical class but in the comfort of your home.

Q: Before an exam, will the tutor go through all the concepts tested and give a review/prediction
A: Yes definitely. A full review and spotting trends for school papers and A-level is always necessary a few days before the exam.
