Excel in Paper 1:
Elevate Your
Essay Writing Skills
Many students often find themselves trapped in the 23-29 score range for their essays, feeling lost with no clear strategies for improvement in Paper 1. The demands of content preparation are overwhelming, and the necessary skills for success are often not mastered or even understood. The broad and diverse nature of the General Paper subject can lead to frustrations due to the lack of a structured approach to learning and improvement.
​
You are not alone in this experience; many educators, including us, have faced similar challenges as students and later as MOE teachers in junior colleges across Singapore. The General Paper’s extensive scope can make its teaching somewhat subjective, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive, effective strategy to navigate each component of the paper.
​
We aim for excellence in every aspect of our program, from our educational materials and lesson delivery to student guidance, to ensure effective skill application for all our students.
​
Achieving a respectable grade in General Paper necessitates scoring at least 35 marks in Paper 1. While illustrative examples are crucial, developing sophisticated cognitive and writing abilities is paramount for crafting complex and nuanced responses. We have categorised the requirements of Paper 1 into three main components to provide clearer, more focused guidance.
