3 Most Common GP Study Strategies
that you must not use for the revised 8881 syllabus Part 2
(Applicable for current J2 students taking Nov 2024 A-level examination)
In Part 1 of this series, we delved into the hermit crab strategy, a method where students choose to isolate themselves and study independently. We explore the potential pitfalls of this approach, highlighting crucial aspects students must consider to avoid common mistakes and maximise their success.
- Common strategy students take #2: Spotting topics
It’s tempting to try to spot questions, but doing it incorrectly can leave you unprepared and stressed. When time is running out, students often resort to guessing topics and cramming all the related content.
Don't fall for this trap
Recent trends in A-level Paper 1 show a shift towards general and hybrid questions. This means that focusing solely on one topic can leave you at a loss if the exam questions combine multiple themes or require broader knowledge.
- Do this instead
Given the time constraints, it’s practical to start spotting questions. Instead of trying to analyze all the prelim papers on your own, leverage the work already done by most Junior Colleges.
- Analyse the latest prelim exams as the schools would have carefully identified potential A-level questions and types.
- Sort them and identify the issues and complications
- Correctly craft your arguments
This is the second installment of our three-part series.
Stay tuned for the upcoming final part!
