Hi,

I’ve been following with the news and reading Time magazines but is still not able to score well for GP. Anyone can share with me any tips to hit at least a C or B grade for GP?

Thanks!

Thanks rooney and fireice for your responses.

Ya my language is the main problem, grammar still ok. Normally language 11/20 for essays and 9/15 for compre. Do you have any guidebooks or anything to recommend to improve my language marks?

use short and straight forward sentences to reduce risk of grammatical mistakes and wrong synthesis

improve on vocab so tt u can put ur ideas across with the right words

the most basic thing is still to read A LOT
mags, journals......
how they use the words and phrases for wat kind of topics, events, people..........

GP is a test of your critical faculties aside to possessing a good command of the potato language.

This includes your reasoning, thinking process and general knowledge of world affairs.

i used to read Basic Philosophy during my college years as part of sharpening my GP skills.
