A JC student in a low-end JC meets with a mediocre, lazy
or newly graduated lecturer.
What are the choices for the student ?
1. engage a tutor which is very expensive
2. study on his own, read up on reference books, go
internet to seek for materials and help which will take up a lot of
the student's time. In addition, the materials gathered and
summarised by the students might not be up to par.
3. seek help from seniors or from more capable classmates
which might find him a nuisance if the student constantly bug
them with queries and questions.
4. purchase excellent notes, model answers, fully worked out
solution, past year exam questions, tutorial exercises, revision
exercises with full solutions model answers and many more
other useful materials that can be bought online.
These materials are compiled by the group of the best and very
very experienced lecturers and these materials are very exam
oriented too.
If you are the student, which will be your choice ?

So what are high-end JCs?
1. engage a tutor which is very expensive
Expensive, I agree. But there are free ones around too.
2. study on his own, read up on reference books, go
internet to seek for materials and help which will take up a lot of
the student's time. In addition, the materials gathered and
summarised by the students might not be up to par.
Isn't that extremely good training for uni? I did that
throughout JC, which put me in good stead for uni.
3. seek help from seniors or from more capable classmates
which might find him a nuisance if the student constantly bug
them with queries and questions.
Peer tutoring and sharing is better.
4. purchase excellent notes, model answers, fully worked out
solution, past year exam questions, tutorial exercises, revision
exercises with full solutions model answers and many more
other useful materials that can be bought online.
These materials are compiled by the group of the best and very

This is sometimes the most dangerous. You never know if the
solution is the most efficient. Or if the solution is done wrongly
but the correct answer was coincidentally achieved. I have seen
such cases.
Furthermore, many of the H2 maths and physics exam materials
could be downloaded for free at the moment if you look at the right
place and know how to use google properly. What for buy? I have
already downloaded nearly 1GB worth of materials for use.
But I won't share online unless I know that they are
students.... because I have seen certain immoral people trying to
get the free stuff from me, yet attempting to sell the free notes
at marketplace for a fee.
