TS, JC notes, tutorials and other in-house materials are
prepared by a group of
very experienced JC lecturers and hence the materials are very
exam-oriented for
"A" level exam.
For instance, the new syllabus of H2 Economics has emphasized on
Singapore
Economy. This part of the notes on Singapore Economy eg
Singapore government
ways of tackling externalities, Singapore interest rate, why
Singapore does not use
monetary policy (as taught in many textbooks) and instead it
uses exchange rate
policy to tackle inflation and recession and so on can only be
found in JCs in house
materials (not in so called "A" level textbooks prepared by
foreign authors)
as many JC economics lecturers are NUS honours and Master
Degree
graduates who are locally trained and hence they are familiar
with Singapore
Economy.
In addition, many bookshops in JCs have compiled all the JCs
Economics Prelim
Exam Papers and the model answers and essays as prepared by the
JC lecturers
into a book.
There are many important points in the book that will help
you to get an "A" in
Economics andthese points cannot be found in books like Sloman.
Furthermore,
the book also shows how the marks are given for the
essays ie how the essays
will be marked by the JC lecturers who follow a marking
scheme as provided by
the Cambridge examiners.
Be positive and passionate, you will excel in your studies.
PS : Each JC notes and in house materials has its strengths and
shortcomings.
So, it will be good to have access to various JC notes and
in-house materials.
