h1generalpaper.com.sg makes learning GP a fun, efficient and dynamic experience for students.

3.  1. You improve your English, which makes
you better at almost all your other
subjects.
If you are an arts student taking Geography,
Literature and History, it is obvious that
doing well in GP will help you in your other
H2 subjects as well. Nobody can proudly call
themselves an art student when they cannot
express themselves confidently and argue
convincingly. Even if you are not an arts
student, you write essays in Science too and
you probably take Economics, a subject that
is rather essay-driven.

4.  2. You become more impressive as an
individual.
GP gifts students the ability to think
analytically and express themselves. This
means that if you can excel in GP, you are
not likely to be that someone who only
knows how to memorise the textbook. In
order to become successful in life, intangible
skills like critical thinking and self-expression
become important, especially when you
come into contact with prospective
scholarship providers and employers. You
want to come across as a well-spoken, well-
read and mature person.

5.  3. Anyone can enjoy studying the subject.
Some people consider themselves artsy, others
think they are more ‘science-y’. If there is
one subject that can be enjoyed by anyone,
it has to be GP. If you are a history buff, you
can explore topics like geopolitics. If you are
more of a Science whiz, you may find topics
such as stem-cell research fascinating. So
long as you are interested in a particular
subject, GP allows you to explore it, the GP
way of course, which brings us to the next
point.

6.  4. GP is a way of learning itself.
The GP way is an engagement of the mind. It
compels students to appreciate different
viewpoints, substantiate arguments and
explore possibilities. This is why it is so
different from your other subjects. You do
not approach GP the way you would say,
Chemistry. You learn to be constrained only
by how far your mind can wander, which in
our view is limitless. Isn’t it liberating to
know that you don’t have to fear not
remembering formulas, or at least be
restricted to only using them? In a GP exam,
you are encouraged to show off all that you
have, not ‘only what is in the syllabus’.

7.  5. It doesn’t take that much effort, really.
 Yes, we started out by saying that learning GP may be
tough work, but it can be simple, if you have the
correct approach. Firstly, you don’t have to memorise
every issue of The Straits Times or the entire
Wikipedia to score. Many of our students choose to
focus on topics related to their other subjects, and
this cuts down on the time they spend trying to
memorise facts that are not meaningful to them.
 Secondly, it is true that the GP learning curve is
steeper, because sacrificing time to learn it does not
necessarily produce results. You will need someone to
show you the right way to engage with issues and
come up with cogent arguments. But once you have
mastered the skills, you are pretty much good to go.
