    Anderson JC is a good school. it's H2 maths questions are tough. the few Anderson students I taught in the past got their maths graded E even up until prelim but all turned up A in the actual A level.

    I am giving my gp paper after 3 years and found out that there is a paper 2: comprehension. Could you give a background about paper 2?

    What is your advice for p2

      For Comprehension Qns, AQ and Summary, it is important to know the synonyms of all the words mentioned. Find various vocabs so that paraphrasing would be easier for you.
      E.g.
      Discuss - talk about, debate, explain, review, confer, etc.
      View- perspective, point of view, outlook, standpoint, position, stand, stance, approach
      You can also build your vocab by practising 10-year series (TYS). Collate new vocab and attempt creating your own sentences (usually sentences related to Singapore Events). Doing TYS also helps you to understand what the author is trying to say (common trends when reading numerous paragraphs), and that would be helpful in answering the comprehension questions.
      E.g. new word --> urban dwellers (One accustomed to a city or urban lifestyle or unsuited to life in the country)
      In a sentence (related to SG context): Since most individuals are urban dwellers, we make first-world problems our priority, while overlooking the presence of more pressing concerns in developing countries.
      AQ is similar to Essays. Read up on the recent Singapore Events (Environment, Political, Social Media News, etc.) Then try using the content in your paragraphs. Try to paraphrase and shorten the content when you write your paragraphs.
      .
      .
      If time management is a concern, I suggest starting doing Summary and/or AQs, and then starting on Comprehension Questions. Make sure you have 20-30min for your AQ section, even if there is not enough time to complete the Comprehension Questions.
      Hope this helps!

      @@katechim9397 Nope, rephrasing/paraphrasing shows that you understand the source well enough to write it in your own words.

    7 words per sentence.
    Do questions and ask for guidance.
    not coherent(??)
    Coherent is like "i was running" with "i sweats and pants"
    UNDERSTAND Q BETTER
