2024 A’Levels Paper Essay Questions – H1 GENERAL PAPER (SYLLABUS 8881)
Are you looking for Paper 1 Essay Questions for 2024 GP Paper 1? This year’s 2024 A-Level students are the first batch to take the new GP syllabus 8881. Junior college (JC) students are facing a significant change, embracing the introduction of a new syllabus for the first time.
Understanding the New Syllabus
The updated A-Level syllabus comes with a few important shifts that will impact both content and exam structure. Firstly, students are tested on two papers which are taken at separate sittings within the same day. In terms of syllabus, more emphasis on comparative analysis and the environment has become one of a key topic delighting some students. This change can feel overwhelming at first, but with the right strategies and resources, you can tackle these new challenges head-on.
Paper 1 Essay 8881/01 (1h 30min)
Paper 1 comprises 8 questions, of which students will answer 1 question in and essay of 500 to 800 words. Students will examine issues of local, regional and global significance, drawing on current affairs as well as general knowledge related to:
- Society and culture
- Economics
- Politics
- The Arts and Humanities
- Science and Technology
- The Environment
Paper 2 Comprehension 8881/02 (1h 30min)
Paper 2 comprises 3 different passages that allow for comparative analysis. There are a total of 8 or 9 questions which cover:
- Literal comprehension, inference, analysis, evaluation and synthesis of ideas
- Summary
- Connections of ideas across 2 passages
- Application based on a theme related to the reading passages
How do I score in GP?
Under the new syllabus, there are significant changes in both Paper 1 and Paper 2. For Paper 2, students are expected to compare and analyse passages as there is a new inclusion of comparative questions. Students are expect to analyse the passages critically, analyse and justify according. Questions 7 and 8 in paper under the new GENERAL PAPER 8881 syllabus involve reading critically to identify connecting ideas across two passages. These two questions assess student’s ability to identify the components of a text effectively and how they relate to one another by making connections.
