5 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD TAKE GP SERIOUSLY
3
1.You improve your English, which makes you
better at almost all your other subjects.

• If you are an arts student taking Geography,
  Literature and History, it is obvious that doing
  well in GP will help you in your other H2
  subjects as well. Nobody can proudly call
  themselves an art student when they cannot
  express themselves confidently and argue
  convincingly. Even if you are not an arts
  student, you write essays in Science too and you
  probably take Economics, a subject that is rather
  essay-driven.

2. You become more impressive as an individual.

• GP gifts students the ability to think
  analytically and express themselves. This means
  that if you can excel in GP, you are not likely
  to be that someone who only knows how to memorise
  the textbook. In order to become successful in
  life, intangible skills like critical thinking
  and self-expression become important, especially
  when you come into contact with prospective
  scholarship providers and employers. You want to
  come across as a well-spoken, well-read and
  mature person.

3. Anyone can enjoy studying the subject.

• Some people consider themselves artsy, others
  think they are more science-y. If there is one
  subject that can be enjoyed by anyone, it has to
  be GP. If you are a history buff, you can explore
  topics like geopolitics. If you are more of a
  Science whiz, you may find topics such as
  stem-cell research fascinating. So long as you
  are interested in a particular subject, GP allows
  you to explore it, the GP way of course, which
  brings us to the next point.

4. GP is a way of learning itself.

• The GP way is an engagement of the mind. It
  compels students to appreciate different
  viewpoints, substantiate arguments and explore
  possibilities. This is why it is so different
  from your other subjects. You do not approach GP
  the way you would say, Chemistry. You learn to be
  constrained only by how far your mind can wander,
  which in our view is limitless. Isnt it
  liberating to know that you dont have to fear
  not remembering formulas, or at least be
  restricted to only using them? In a GP exam, you
  are encouraged to show off all that you have, not
  only what is in the syllabus.

5. It doesnt take that much effort, really.

• Yes, we started out by saying that learning GP
  may be tough work, but it can be simple, if you
  have the correct approach. Firstly, you dont
  have to memorise every issue of The Straits Times
  or the entire Wikipedia to score. Many of our
  students choose to focus on topics related to
  their other subjects, and this cuts down on the
  time they spend trying to memorise facts that are
  not meaningful to them.
