01What the two days fix

What to read, how to organise it, and how to use it under exam conditions.

You have been told to read widely and keep up with current affairs, and then told GP is a subject you cannot really prepare for. So you open the paper, stare at the questions, and none of them feel like something you can write with confidence. Or you start, and by the third paragraph you have run out of things to say.

What is missing is a system: what to read, how to organise it, and how to deploy it under exam conditions. That is what these two days are built for. Day one gives you the content. Day two gives you the technique.

02The two days

Three content lessons, then three technique lessons.

Day 1 · content

Content Crashcourse

Three lessons, three themes examiners return to. You leave with arguments, Singapore examples, and a framework for structured positions you can defend in an essay.

Society and CultureScience and TechnologyEconomics, Politics and Local
Day 2 · skills

Skills Crashcourse

Content without technique is wasted. Day two is the mechanics: how to plan and write a GP essay that scores, how to handle comprehension efficiently, and how to tackle the Application Question, where most students lose the most marks.

03The six lessons

Three content lessons and three technique lessons.

Day 1 · content

Society and Culture

Social media and phone bans: Australia's under 16 ban and Singapore's schools debate, argued both ways.

Science and Technology

Does technology make us happier, and does it help or hinder the pursuit of human goals? A framework for a commonly tested intersection.

Economics, Politics and Local Interest

The canteen saga, hawker culture and our relationship with food, as lenses on identity, governance and cultural preservation.

Day 2 · skills

Essay Writing

Plan an essay in five minutes, build paragraphs that score, and write an introduction that does not waste time.

General Comprehension

Inference, summary and language: systematic approaches to each question type, so you stop losing marks on question types you can prepare for.

Application Question

The 12 marks most students never learn to approach. How to select examples, link them to the passage, and write a response that scores.

04The materials

Real pages from the GP Essentials textbooks.

Every crashcourse student receives ETG's GP Essentials materials, the same in house content our regular GP students use, updated for the current year. Each textbook is listed at $49.90. These are real pages.

Is this for you

Built for a specific student.

You want to use the March holidaysJC1 or JC2, and you want a productive, structured block for GP.
You freeze at the paperYou never quite know what to write when you open the essay booklet.
AQ and comprehensionYou lose marks on application and want the technique drilled.
You want a content bankArguments and examples that are actually usable in exams.

This is a targeted intensive, not a replacement for weekly tuition, and not one to one marking. If you are already scoring a consistent A you may not need it.

FAQCommon questions

Levels, single days, recordings and who teaches.

Is this suitable for JC1 students?
Yes. JC1 students benefit from early exposure to GP content themes and exam skills. The content sessions give you arguments you can use immediately, and the skills sessions teach techniques that serve you for the next two years.
Can I attend just one day?
Yes. You can register for the Content Crashcourse (Day 1, $60) or the Skills Crashcourse (Day 2, $60) on their own. We recommend both days for $100, because content without skills only gets you halfway.
What if I cannot make the actual days?
All lessons are available on demand through our LMS after the crashcourse. Register now and watch later. You can collect the physical materials at either centre.
How is this different from school?
It complements school rather than replacing it. A concentrated two day format that pairs specific content themes with explicit exam technique, so you can express what you already know more effectively under exam conditions.
Who teaches and marks the lessons?
Former MOE teachers and JC lecturers with long experience teaching A Level General Paper, supported by tutors with strong academic and debating backgrounds. We keep tutors unnamed on purpose. The system, the in house materials and the marking rigour are the constant that every student gets, rather than the luck of one personality. Your essays are marked against the Cambridge band descriptors, and you can book consults to talk through a topic or a paper.
