The dates

Tuesday 8, Friday 11 and Saturday 12 September 2026. All three days run at Upper Serangoon and Kovan, and on Zoom. JC1 and JC2 are both welcome, and the booklet is included with every registration, whichever days you take. The full package is $350, which is $150 less than booking the three days separately. Message the admin team on WhatsApp at +65 8121 6488 with anything you want to check before you book.

01
The September problem

September is the last block that is still yours.

For JC2, prelims are either just behind you or just ahead, and the A Levels are in the first week of November. For JC1, Promos are weeks away. Either way, September is the last month in which a structured block of work still has time to compound before the paper that counts.

i. Timing

October is too late to start something new.

By October the calendar belongs to revision timetables, consultations and the papers themselves. Anything that needs a run up has to begin in September, which is exactly where these three days sit.

Students commonly tell themselves they will fix GP after prelims, and the window closes.

ii. Content

Your content bank was assembled months ago.

The examples most students carry into November were collected early in the year, and the arguments have moved since. Four chapters researched and written for this September give you current, sourced material you can actually deploy.

Students commonly reach November still quoting the same two examples in every essay.

iii. Reps

Knowing the technique is not the same as doing it under time.

Fourteen pieces of pre assigned work, six comprehensions and eight essays, written before the day and then worked through in the room, is the difference between recognising a good paragraph and writing one under time.

Students commonly recognise a good paragraph and cannot yet produce one under time.

02
What is included

Three days, three components.

Each day is complete on its own and can be booked on its own, and the booklet comes with every registration either way. Taken together the three days do the two jobs September needs doing: refill the content bank, then convert it into finished writing.

Saturday 12 September / Study Rush

Four lessons, four chapters, one day

Four ninety minute lessons running from 10am to 5.30pm at Upper Serangoon and Kovan, and on Zoom. Society and Culture, then Science and Technology, then Economics and Politics, then Global Affairs and Topics of Local Concern. Each lesson is taught from one of the four chapters written for the September Intensive booklet.

4 lessons90 minutes each10am to 5.30pm$200 on its own
Tuesday 8 September / Comprehension

Six comprehensions, one day

Six full comprehension papers covered in a single day, 10am to 3pm. All six are assigned as homework before the bootcamp, so the day itself goes on method, on the Application Question, and on what your own answers did rather than on reading passages cold.

6 comprehensions10am to 3pmAssigned in advance$150 on its own
Friday 11 September / Essays

Eight essays, one day

Eight essay questions covered in a single day, 10am to 3pm, all assigned as homework beforehand. They are the same eight essays the booklet scaffolds in section two, so the day goes on argument architecture, calibration, and the marks each answer missed, question by question.

8 essays10am to 3pmSame eight as the booklet$150 on its own
03
The Study Rush

Four lessons. Four chapters. One Saturday.

Saturday 12 September, 10am to 5.30pm, at Upper Serangoon and Kovan or on Zoom. The four lessons are not a survey of the syllabus. Each one is taught from a chapter written for this September, so the content you leave with is the content in your hands.

TimeLessonTaught from

There is a thirty minute break between each lesson. The Study Rush can be booked on its own for $200, booklet included, or as part of the full package with both bootcamps for $350.

Section two / the essay scaffolds

Eight questions, taken apart the way the exam hall asks.


Each one runs the same four steps: the wording first, then the stand you would take, then the plan, then a complete answer written out. You work through the scaffold before you read the answer. These are also the eight essays the Friday bootcamp works through.

01

How far do you agree that lasting peace can never be imposed from outside?

02

“Privacy is a price worth paying for security and convenience.” How far do you agree?

03

Evaluate the claim that technology has made the truth harder, not easier, to find.

04

Assess the view that hard work is no longer a guarantee of success in your society.

05

To what extent is your society prepared for an ageing population?

06

Assess the view that good health has become a luxury only the wealthy can afford.

07

“Fairness in sport is an impossible ideal.” How far do you agree?

08

“The loss of a language matters to everyone, not just its speakers.” How far do you agree?

Essay 01 is reproduced in the gallery above, from the question breakdown through to the model essay, so you can see the whole method before you book.

Verified Google review

Most students in our GP cohorts have achieved an A or B.

★★★★★
Mr Wong's GP lessons have been very helpful. He is very precise when explaining our mistakes and his consults are also very helpful! I only joined a week before my prelims and my grades went up a lot!! The predicted essay questions are also fairly accurate which is super beneficial and the tips he gives are super useful. He is able to relate dry concepts to his own life or our daily lives in general and it makes it so much easier to remember especially during exams!!

Most students in our GP cohorts have achieved an A or B. We do not publish a percentage A rate, because a number stripped of context would mislead. The curriculum and the writing volume are what we stand behind, and you can inspect them free before you decide.

FAQCommon questions

The booklet, the three days, the venues and the fees.

What exactly do I get for $350?
All three days, and the booklet. The comprehension bootcamp on Tuesday 8 September, six comprehensions covered from 10am to 3pm. The essay bootcamp on Friday 11 September, eight essays covered from 10am to 3pm. The September Study Rush on Saturday 12 September, four ninety minute lessons from 10am to 5.30pm on Society and Culture, Science and Technology, Economics and Politics, and Global Affairs and Topics of Local Concern, taught from the four chapters of the September Intensive booklet. Booked separately the three days come to $500.
Do I get the booklet if I only book one day?
Yes. The 136 page September Intensive booklet is included with every registration, standalone day or full package. It is the book the Study Rush is taught from and the book that scaffolds the eight essays the Friday bootcamp works through, so every student on any of the three days gets a copy.
Can I book only one of the three days?
Yes. The Study Rush on its own is $200. Either bootcamp on its own is $150. The package is $350 because most students want the content day and the two writing days to work together, but there is no requirement to take all three.
I am already an ETG student. How do I get the $300 price?
Message the admin team on WhatsApp at +65 8121 6488 and pay by PayNow to UEN 202117044Z. There is no online checkout for the student price on purpose, so the team can confirm you are on the current roll. It applies to the full package only, not to a single day booked on its own.
Are the eight essays in the bootcamp the same eight in the booklet?
Yes. Section two of the booklet scaffolds eight essay questions in full, and the Friday 11 September essay bootcamp works through those same eight. You write them before the day, then the day goes on argument architecture, calibration and the marks each answer missed, question by question.
How much work is assigned before the bootcamps?
Six comprehensions before Tuesday 8 September, and eight essays before Friday 11 September. All of it is assigned as homework ahead of the day. That is deliberate: if the papers were attempted for the first time in the room, the day would be spent reading rather than on method and on what your own answers actually did. Give yourself real time for it.
Can I attend on Zoom?
Yes. All three days run at Upper Serangoon and Kovan and on Zoom, with the same material and the same booklet. Message the admin team on WhatsApp at +65 8121 6488 to confirm a Zoom place.
Is this for JC1 or JC2?
Both. JC1 and JC2 students are welcome on all three days. JC2 students are usually working towards the A Levels in November, and JC1 students towards Promos, but the content chapters and the writing method are the same skill in both cases.
Will three days fix my GP?
No, and we will not pretend otherwise. Three days are not a substitute for a structured programme, and they will not do the two years of weekly work that the strongest results come from. What they do is compress current content and a high volume of writing into the last block of time September still gives you. If you want the two year structure as well, that is the weekly programme, and it is a different decision.
What if I want the full programme instead?
The weekly GP programme runs two hour lessons at $105 per lesson for JC1 and $115 for JC2 onsite, with an in house textbook every term. For JC2 students heading into November, GP Last Lap bundles the weekly classes, the recorded back catalogue and every crashcourse through to the A Levels. See the fees and schedule page, or message the admin team on WhatsApp at +65 8121 6488.
Why does ETG not publish a specific GP A rate percentage?
Because GP improvement is gradual and depends on many factors, and a percentage stripped of context would mislead. Most students in our previous GP cohorts have achieved an A or B. The curriculum substance is the proof we stand behind, and you can inspect a full chapter of the September booklet free before you decide anything.
Who teaches the lessons?
Former MOE teachers and JC lecturers with long experience teaching A Level General Paper, supported by tutors with strong academic and debating backgrounds. The system and the in house materials are the constant that every student gets, rather than the luck of one personality.
