For all JC students taking H2 Physics in the A-levels this year who struggle with heat and light related problems. If concepts such as work done in heat/PV graph, waves in phase/out of phase and diffraction grating or interference pattern confuse you and keep you up at night, you must attend this program.
In each lesson, the tutor will clear all misunderstanding about key concepts, and introduce proper answering techniques with regard to scoring well in school exams, as well as the actual A-level paper. Lesson is conducted in a lecture and tutorial style, with short lectures for conceptual understanding, and challenging tutorials to cover the range of questions which will be tested.
Course Outline:
5/6: Thermal Physics (First Law, Ideal gas, KE of a molecule)
12/6: Wave motion (Graphical representation of waves, polarization and transverse waves)
19/6: Superposition (2 source interference pattern and diffraction grating
Duration: 3 weeks, 2h each
Dates: Every Tuesday 5 June. 12 June and 19 June

JC 1 / A LEVEL H1 / H2 MATH GRAPHING INTENSIVE RELEARNING & REVISION JUNE 2018
Many JC students lack confidence in graphing/sketching questions. They waste
more than 15 minutes sketching a curve and might still get it wrong. Some students do not understand the order of transformation and scaling.
This course will allow you to master graphing techniques and sketching, and effectively score full marks for this segment in your promotional exams or A-levels. There will be a strong focus on transformation and scaling equations, and graphs such as the negative, modulo and reciprocal graph.
By the end of this class, you will learn how to:
-Spot common graphing trends and problems
-Understand the significance of restricting domain and range in graphing
-Effectively utilize your graphic calculator to sketch complex graphs
-Confidently and correctly sketch difficult graphs such as reciprocal, modulo and y-squared graphs in under 10minutes
-Systematically perform transformation of graphs without error
Duration: 3 weeks, 2h each
Dates: Every Wednesday 6 June. 13 June and 20 June
Time: 1030 am – 1230 pm
Location: Blk 644, Bukit Batok Central, #01-68. S(650644).

GENERAL PAPER JUNE HOLIDAYS PROGRAMME
General Paper Programme Outline
This is an intensive system designed to equip you with the essential tools needed.
Duration: 3 sessions (3hours each)
Course Levels available:
-
A) FOUNDATION BUILDING SYSTEM (suitable for students with grades below C)
-
B) FINE-TUNING SYSTEM (suitable for students with grades C and above. This course will skip fundamental work and zero-in on precision writing techniques)
*note: Course fees are identical for both programmes. Choose the one that best suits your immediate needs and circumstances.
—————————————————————————————————-
Overview of primary Components:
1) Essay writing techniques- Question choice & analysis, essay structures, formulating arguments, conveying ideas in effective writing- there are essays, and then there are exam-essays.
2) Comprehension skills- critical reading, question analysis, effective paraphrasing and AQ-mastery. Work-arounds and preparation before we even start reading the text is key!
3) Content- Cut down on the need to memorize tons of facts and statistics. Solutions to content-generating that will save you hours each day!
———————————————————————————————————–
Workshop structure:
Session 1: Essay writing
Dates: (Course A- May 30th/June 13th, Course B: June 6/21st )
From planning to execution. Using time effectively to maximise the quality of your essay: a step-by-step guide on how to tackle any question in Paper 1. Materials include a 101-essential checklist for every student, sample essays/paragraphs, discussion of examination questions to cover a broad range of topics/areas of focus.
Session 2: Comprehension
Dates: (Course A: May 31st/June 14th, Course B: June 7th/22nd )
Critical reading and prepping effectively to ensure the most coverage of the passage, as well as systematic addressing of the various question types. Paraphrasing techniques and practices will also be the focus as this skill is of core importance to this paper, and one many students overlook. Finally, deciphering the AQ- how to maximise marks in a time-pressured window. Materials will include a handout covering various question types, sample/excerpts from a wide range of JC examination papers, as well as sample AQs from past year Cambridge papers.
Session 3: Content
Dates: (Course A: June 1st/15th, Course B: June 8th/23rd)
General knowledge is key to scoring well. But often times, it is not the volume, but rather the quality, and application. Content-manipulation/generation can often dramatically cut back on hours spent memorising facts and stats for the mere sake of doing so. Students will be shown, through a variety of methodologies (mind-maps, issue-linking, thinking structures etc) how to prepare for the subject efficiently. Realising that topics/modules should never be approached as separate entities also falls in-line with the changing trends of GP questions set by Cambridge, where essay questions are often multi-faceted.
—————————————————————————————————–
Course take-homes:
LET’S MAKE THINKING FUN AGAIN
Appreciation of GP beyond just a subject, but rather gaining a set of skills that can be applied throughout various aspects of life and academia. Debunking myths such as “the more I know, the better I’ll do”, and finally, re-discovering the passion for learning over the need for studying.
Attendees of the workshop will also gain unlimited access to my web-blog, which houses a repository of articles, sample essays/AQ responses, as well as revision essentials.

Below is the latest ranking of JCs that I have compiled based on their 2015 cut-off points. As expected, RI and HCI have remained at the top. Compared to 2014, NJC is now in the same position as VJC, NYJC has outranked even TJC, and PJC occupies the same position as TPJC. In terms of COP, it seems that over the last few years NYJC and PJC have been improving while TJC has been going south. Please note that this list is based on cut-off points, not A-Level results. DHS and RVHS are not in the list as they do not take in O-Level leavers.

Mid-year (SA1) results important for DSA to JC or Poly
I think many students are not aware of this. If you are good in sports and intend to apply to a JC or Poly via DSA in June, they will look at your mid-year exam results. Thus you should aim to at least pass all your O-level subjects with a B4/B3 average at the least, else the JC or Poly would tell you to re-apply again with your prelim results instead.
The problem is, the S4 mid-year exam is always the hardest exam to do well in due to the following reasons:
(1) Teachers would have just finished teaching some topics and then the exam comes;
(2) There is little or no revision time for older topics;
(3) It tests the S3 topics as well and in the case of Math it tests all the topics from S1;
(4) Exam-setters typically make it very hard in order to “wake-up” the students.
Thus S4 students often fail most of their subjects for SA1. The results don’t matter much if you are NOT applying to JCs or Polys via DSA in June. But even if you don’t intend to use DSA, poor results at SA1 doesn’t bode well for your performance in the prelims, which in turn will not give you the confidence you need to face the O-levels.
THUS DOING WELL AT SA1 IS STILL IMPORTANT NO MATTER HOW BUSY YOU ARE. PLEASE PRIORITIZE YOUR TIME CORRECTLY AND AIM TO DO WELL IN ALL EXAMS.
