How do you score in General Paper?

Why it matters?

"Is it possible to go from a U to an A in GP?"

A distinction in GP may prove more elusive than in other subjects, and the pressure only increases with the reality of GP being a critical component of university admissions.

At HYCO, we demystify the Cambridge marking criteria for GP, break down the subject into bite-sized strategies, and equip you with the requisite skills to achieve your best possible grade for GP.

P.S. The answer is yes, we have done it before, and we can do it for you too.

We know it's not easy

There are certain habits that, without guidance, are incredibly difficult to correct.

Running out of strong, relevant examples — making essays sound generic and repetitive

Many essays lack a clear line of reasoning, leading to poor structure and weaker persuasive power

Balancing speed and depth is tough — most students rush and miss points or overthink and run out of time.

So how is it done at HYCO?

We weave the same core values behind our High-Conviction Method—READS—into every GP lesson.

No spoon-feeding

Be prepared to read

Our journalism-trained curriculum designer from NTU's WKWSCI handpicks the best global articles for class.

You can be assured that you get only the most relevant, polished, and impactful GP content.

Collaborative learning

GP tuition classes at HYCO are cooperative spaces. We will often have you mark other’s work.

This familiarises you with the Cambridge marking criteria and sheds more clarity on how you should structure your own points.

Track mistakes and progress

We distinguish between blind drilling and thoughtful post-mortems. You keep a journal of mistakes you've made.

These are used for your reference or submitted to tutors for you to be tested on.

Tutors drop hints and ask leading questions, training you to go through the critical thinking process and arrive at conclusions your own.

You’ll learn to stand on your own two feet, not rely on handouts.

Results you can count on

We're the small and new centre around the block, but we don't see that as a crutch.

You receive all the individual support you need, along with our curated resources.
