Year 4 / Year 5 / JC1 (2019) Head Start General Paper (GP)
To all students who are preparing to go into JC, wonderful! In JC, you will be introduced to this subject called General Paper, which is one of the subjects examined in A-levels.
What is General Paper?
General Paper is probably one of the most misunderstood subjects, and ironically so because it requires the most understanding in order to do well.
Here are 5 common misconceptions General Paper (GP) debunked:
- My English grade was not good, therefore I will struggle at GP.
DEFINITELY NOT! GP is not about how well you write, but more about what you write. This means that your ideas and thoughts are far more important.
2. GP requires me to read a lot
Whilst this is partially true, it isn’t as hellish as most students make it out to be. Having a lot of content knowledge is pointless if you have no idea how to use it. APPLICATION of that knowledge is everything.
3. Like English, I don’t really have to study for GP. I either have it or I don’t.
False! GP is a lot about skills and techniques, which can definitely be practiced under the right supervision. Essays are not free-response, hence there are helpful structures that can be learned and applied.
4. Reading model essays will improve my GP grade.
Not as much as you may think. Many different schools idealise different types of essay styles. What this means is that there is no one best way of writing. Having said that, there are specific techniques that can be used by students to cover their weaknesses and highlight their strengths.
5. GP is not as important a subject as compared to Maths and Science
This is the biggest misconception of them all, and most students realize this too late, by which time there is little that can be done. GP equips you with a set of soft skills that are the most versatile and flexible, that can be used for a wide variety of professions. Any job that requires problem solving will rely on a student with strong GP skills.
So why do a Headstart programme?
General Paper is statistically the subject students struggle with the most. Not because it is difficult, but rather because students neglect it till it is too late. By starting early, you will be able to establish a strong foundation that will allow you to begin thinking of the issues in a much more in-depth level at a much quicker rate. Also, GP is perhaps the one subject where consistency is key, and you cannot cram your learning. So a Headstart Programme is even more crucial. So come join me and set yourself up for success!

First-timer A-Levels for Private Candidates
We provide A-Level / H2 and O-Level Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Science (Physics/Chemistry/Biology) Practical Training for private / school candidates and homeschoolers, for both local (eg. H2, Singapore-Cambridge) and international exams (CIE, IGCSE).
Note: Our practical fees are lowest for practicals done in the Jan-Mar period. So sign up now!
You may need science practical lessons if you are a private candidate who needs a science lab and apparatus as well as practical coaching, or you are a school candidate who needs more practical training to get top grades.
School candidates (in govt sec schools, IP schools and JCs) who need more FULL PRACTICAL PRACTICE are also welcome, as you seldom get to complete a full practical in school (1.5 hrs for Combined Science practical exam, 1hr 50 min for Pure Science practicals, and 2hr 30 min for H2 practicals), mainly due to lack of curriculum time.
If you are a private school or tutor who needs a science lab or practical training for your students, you are also advised to contact us early to work out the details such as course curriculum, lab worksheets, scheduling and fee matters.
For details on Practical Courses, Mock Exams or Schedules, kindly click on any of the following links relevant to the exam and level you will be doing:
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PRIVATE CANDIDATES
The registration for ‘A’ and ‘O’ Level exams as a private candidate usually opens around mid-April (Please check SEAB website) and closes before mid-May. If you are registering for a Science subject (Physics, Chemistry, Biology or Combined Sciences), at the time of registration, you will be asked whether you have done any science practical training in any school, centre, or institute. Thus you must begin your science practical training before April. Science practical training in Singapore Learner qualifies as practical training for the purpose of registration for Science subjects for the ‘A’ and ‘O’ level exams.
Thus if you are considering Singapore Learner as your science practical training provider, you must register with us and complete at least 4 basic practical sessions for each subject by 31st April for us to certify that you have attended science practical training. As students usually do about 10 practical sessions per subject to be competent in practicals, the rest of the lab sessions can be done from May to early October, including the prelim/mock practical exams.

FAQ
FAQ1: If I’m a private candidate re-taking the A-Levels, what is the minimum number of subjects I must take to get into a local university like NUS or NTU?
You only need to do GP and 3 H2 subjects. Total 4 subjects. You don’t need to redo your H1 content subject or PW or MT.
FAQ2: If I’m a private candidate doing the A-Levels for the first time, what is the minimum number of subjects I must take to get into a local university like NUS or NTU?
You’ll need to do 3 H2 subjects, 1 H1 content subject, GP and MT. Total 6 subjects.
FAQ3: If I’m a private candidate, what is the minimum number of subjects I must take to get into an overseas university like in the UK or Australia?
Most overseas universities accept just 3 H2 subjects. Even GP is not needed. However some universities may expect a fourth subject, which can be a H1 or H2 subject, but it is safer to take a H2 subject.
