Dear Parents or Students,


Thank you for your interest in the June Holiday Revision Programme for Economics. For J2 students, the June Holiday Revision Programme would be the first phase of the revision preparation for the A level examination which focuses on ensuring that all students will attain a sound foundation of the understanding of the knowledge for their studies and the necessary skills of application of the knowledge for the required examination. All students will approximately study through 30 essay questions and 8 case studies which will build a strong foundation for the final examination. This will be followed by the second phase of preparation from July to September whereby the focus of the revision would be on the comprehension of complex and integrated questions which will prepare the students for the prelim examination. Lastly, there will be the final preparation which will prepare the students on comprehending the A level type of questions. For J1 students, the June Holiday Revision Programme would be focusing on the reteaching of the contents of the chapters that the students have learnt. It would also help them to prepare for the upcoming mid-year examination by inculcating in them the necessary skills on how to answer essay and CSQ questions. Most of all, this workshop will aim to imbue in students the interest in economics and the methodology in studying this new subject. We hope the information that we have provided would be of great help to you and, if you have further need for clarification, please feel free to call Simon @ 96890510.
