My DD's friend share the info, not sure if 100% correct?

RIJC did share with students that 'more than 9 in 10' scored A in PW but did not reveal the exact percentage.

[NewKSmum]

Yes, I heard that too.

[NewKSmum]

Yes, I heard that from my friend’s DS from RIJC who collected his results yesterday. Really well done!


Any updates on Yishun and St. Andrew JCs ?

Is PW marked by their own JC teachers ?

[Leeparent]

Hi, I want to share how my JC son got A level GP exam in school. This is for those parents who want their children to get high score in GP exam.


Initially, my JC son used to fail his A Level GP exam in school . My friend recommend my son to attend GP lessons with Mr. Liew from EDvolution Learning Studio , he jumped to a B and eventually he scored an A in A level result . So as a parent, I am really more than happy. My Son found him very helpful and effective . He was previously a GP teacher from Victoria JC .

Can go to his website to find out more at EDvolution.com.sg . He has a branch at Bukit Timah and Tanah Merah. Please let me know if you have more questions about how my son scored A

Hi Leeparent


The usual write more read more is not good enough?

Perhaps you can share with us here what’s your son’s secret ingredients to an A in GP.

Thanks.

For GP, write more read more must be more targeted and specific. Reading more English story books will not help.

Firstly, must read more current affairs and world news. My GP tutor brought us various newspapers from different countries to show us different perspectives on the same piece of news. If you don’t wish to buy these daily, you can probably find some free reading room at some clubs (or the National Library) which stocks such newspapers. Eg New York Times, The Guardian, Melbourne Age etc.

Train the critical thinking. For every controversial topic, list out the pros and cons and finally decide on your point of view and explain why. That’s the basic structure of a GP essay. Look at some sample essays from Popular to get an idea. Practise writing more and get a tutor to critique your essay so that you can improve.

That’s my own tips for getting an A in GP. Using bombastic language may help, but not as much as demonstrating critical thinking like how a professional debating team puts together its arguments. If you can watch some YouTube videos of interschool debates you’ll get an idea of the quality of thought required.

Is PW marked by their own JC teachers ?

Yeap internally marked, moderated by SEAB.

Usually most JCs do have 2 groups of PW teachers (each led by a senior teacher or HOD) that rotate to teach the subject every year, while another group would take up the grading of the Oral Presentation (OP), Written Report (WR) and Evaluation of Materials (EoM).

The grading will be based on general guidelines standardised by SEAB, and schools will moderate results base on internal moderators that will observe a few groups during Oral Presentations and random pick a proportion of WRs to work out the benchmark. In addition, SEAB would send moderators (which as referred usually as external moderators) that tags along with internal moderators to inspect randomly selected groups for their OP and WR, to evaluate the need for any moderation (so its usual that some groups mat have more than 7 examiners during their presentation). The results can be moderated up or down depending on individual school performance and marking standards in relative to other schools (usually down). (i.e. lets say the school's standard is 52 mark as A grade, SEAB may raise the A grade mark to 53, which those at 52 mark will drop to a B grade, vice versa)
