Good to know
Things parents ask us first
GP is compulsory H1 and counts
Most JC students must take GP as an H1 content subject. It contributes to the A-Level profile and signals reasoning and communication to universities, so a weak grade carries real admission consequences.
Ideas need structure to score
Strong opinions do not earn GP marks on their own. The grade follows a clear stand, balanced argument, relevant evidence and precise expression — the trainable craft tuition concentrates on.
Paper 2 is often under-prepared
Students over-focus on essays and neglect comprehension. The Application Question, summary and inference skills in Paper 2 are heavily weighted and reward specific, drillable technique.
