March Holiday GP Intensive | 17–18 March 2026 | Onsite, Zoom, or On-Demand
Stop Guessing What to Write.
Start Knowing.
2 days. 6 lessons. A March holiday GP crashcourse that gives you the content to argue with and the skills to score with—so you walk into your next exam actually prepared.
Early bird pricing is available for the first 30 registrants.
Let's Be Honest About General Paper
You've been told to "read widely." You've been told to "keep up with current affairs." You've been told GP is a subject you can't really study for.
And yet every time you sit for a GP exam, you face the same problems: you open the essay booklet, stare at the questions, and none of them feel like something you can write confidently about. Or you start writing—and by paragraph three, you've run out of things to say.
For comprehension, you understand the passage well enough. But Application Questions? You're never quite sure what they're looking for, or how to use your own examples properly.
"The issue isn't that you're lazy. It's that no one has given you a system."
GP isn't a subject where "reading more" automatically translates to better grades. You need to know what to read, how to organise it, and how to deploy it under exam conditions.
That's what these two days are built for. Day 1 gives you the content. Day 2 gives you the skills. Together, they give you something most students don't have going into their next GP exam: a plan.
2 Days. 2 Pillars. Everything You Need.
Most GP crashcourses do one thing: dump content on you. We do two things—and the combination is what makes the difference.
Content Crashcourse
Taught by Mr Alan · Head of GP, ETG
Three lessons, three themes your examiners love. You'll walk away with real arguments, real examples, and a framework for talking about issues that actually matter in GP exams—not vague opinions, but structured positions you can defend in an essay.
Skills Crashcourse
Taught by Mr Ravi · Senior Tutor, Former JC Lecturer
Content without technique is wasted potential. Day 2 is where you learn the mechanics: how to plan and write a GP essay that scores, how to handle comprehension efficiently, and how to tackle AQ—the question most students lose the most marks on.
Content + Skills = Confidence
After these two days, you'll have arguments you can write about, a structure to write them in, and the comprehension techniques to handle whatever Paper 2 throws at you. That's what "prepared" actually looks like.
6 Lessons. Zero Fluff.
Every lesson was chosen because it covers what examiners test most—and what students struggle with most.
Tuesday, 17 March
Led by Mr Alan · Head of GP, ETG
10:00am – 11:30am
Society & Culture
Should social media be banned for teens? Should phones be banned in schools? We'll examine Australia's social media ban and Singapore's approach—giving you arguments and examples you can deploy in any Society & Culture essay.
12:00pm – 1:30pm
Science & Technology
Does technology make us happier? Does it help or hinder the pursuit of human goals? This is one of the most commonly tested intersections in GP—and we'll give you a framework to navigate it with nuance.
2:00pm – 3:30pm
Economics, Politics & Local Interest
The school canteen saga. Our relationship with food. Hawker culture. These aren't just "Singapore issues"—they're lenses for examining broader themes of identity, governance, and cultural preservation that examiners love.
Wednesday, 18 March
Led by Mr Ravi · Senior Tutor, Former JC Lecturer
10:00am – 11:30am
Essay Writing
How do you plan an essay in 5 minutes? How do you build paragraphs that actually score? How do you write an introduction that doesn't waste time? This session gives you the mechanics of a high-scoring GP essay.
12:00pm – 1:30pm
General Comprehension Skills
Inference, summary, language—these are where most students either shine or bleed marks. We'll show you systematic approaches to each question type so you stop leaving marks on the table.
2:00pm – 3:30pm
Application Question (AQ)
AQ is worth 10 marks and most students have no idea how to approach it properly. This session breaks down exactly what examiners want: how to select examples, how to link them to the passage, and how to write responses that score 7+.
Day 1: Themes That Cover Ground Across the Syllabus
These topics were chosen because they're genuinely interesting, sit squarely within the GP syllabus, and connect to multiple essay themes—meaning the arguments you build here can be reused across a wide range of possible questions.
Session 1
Social Media & Phone Bans
Society & Culture
Australia banned social media for under-16s. Singapore is debating phone bans in schools. What are the real arguments for and against—and how do these policies reflect deeper tensions between freedom, safety, and parental responsibility?
Also applicable to:
Session 2
Happiness & Human Goals
Science & Technology
Technology promises to make life easier, healthier, more connected. But does it actually make us happier? Does it help us pursue what matters—or does it distract us from it? This is one of GP's most versatile and commonly tested themes.
Also applicable to:
Session 3
Food, Hawkers & Identity
Economics, Politics & Local Interest
The school canteen saga made headlines. But it's actually a window into much bigger questions: how does a society preserve cultural heritage while modernising? What is our relationship with food, affordability, and identity?
Also applicable to:
Each theme is taught with structured arguments, real-world examples, and explicit links to the types of essay questions you'll encounter in exams.

Is This GP Crashcourse Right For You?
This crashcourse is for you if:
You're a JC1 or JC2 student who wants to use the March holidays productively for GP
You never know what to write when you open the essay booklet
You struggle with AQ and comprehension application
You want to build a content bank that's actually usable in exams
You want a structured, intensive format instead of vague "read more" advice
This may not be ideal if:
You're already scoring A consistently and don't need content or skills reinforcement
You're looking for a replacement for weekly GP tuition (this is a targeted intensive)
You need 1-to-1 essay marking (this is a group seminar format)

Let's Put the Value In Perspective
What You're Getting for $100
Frequently Asked Questions
"Is this suitable for JC1 students?"
Absolutely. JC1 students benefit enormously from early exposure to GP content themes and exam skills. The content sessions give you arguments you can start using immediately, and the skills sessions teach techniques that will serve you for the next two years. Starting early is one of the biggest advantages you can give yourself in GP.
"Can I attend just one day?"
Yes. You can register for just the Content Crashcourse (Day 1, $60) or just the Skills Crashcourse (Day 2, $60). However, we strongly recommend both days for $100—because content without skills, or skills without content, only gets you halfway there.
"What if I can't make it on the actual days?"
All lessons will be available on-demand through our LMS after 18 March. Register now, watch later. You'll also receive the physical materials—just come down to either centre to collect them.
"How is this different from what I'm already doing in school?"
This crashcourse is designed to complement what you're learning in school, not replace it. It's a concentrated two-day format that pairs specific content themes with explicit exam technique—so you can take what you already know and learn how to express it more effectively under exam conditions.
"I'm already attending GP tuition elsewhere. Is this still useful?"
Yes. This crashcourse is designed as a targeted intensive, not weekly tuition. Even if you're already attending GP classes, the combination of three current content themes plus three dedicated skills sessions in two days provides a different kind of value—concentrated consolidation that complements your regular programme.
"How do I get the free Zoom lesson?"
Subscribe to our Telegram channel @ETGECONS, then register through the form below. Your free lesson will be applied automatically. You can also come down to Coronation Plaza or Kovan to collect the physical materials.
"Where exactly are the classes held?"
Day 1 (Content) is conducted live from our Kovan centre by Mr Alan. Day 2 (Skills) is conducted live from Coronation Plaza by Mr Ravi. Both locations receive a Zoom simulcast on the day they're not hosting—so regardless of which centre you choose, you get full access to both days of content.
Two Days That Could Change Your GP Grade.
Every year, students walk into GP exams hoping they'll get lucky with the topics. The students who do well aren't the lucky ones—they're the prepared ones.
$100 for 6 lessons. Two days well spent.
