All about General Paper AS

[InnocentAngel]

Created this thread so that we can help each other.

I've got loads of doubts with regard to general paper esp with this new syllabus 2012 ,that is the mcq . There are no good books available on the market which can help us in developing skills to answer mcq. None give answer sheets.Consequently, while one teacher claims that for eg A is the correct answer ,another teacher claims that B is the right one.
How are we gonna acquire the skills like this ???
Any good book in mind buddies ?

where do u find the mcq section in gp?

Syllabus might have changed. But believe me, the MCQs, no matter how ambiguous they might be, are a better option for many than the Vocabulary and Sentence Writing section they removed.

The syllabus has changed for those doing the syllabus 8001
Instead of long questions , we now have mcq questions.

For latest news and most reliable material : http://www.bbc.co.uk/search/news/?q=science
There are some more specific sites. Normally i just google my essay title to get info.
And yeah there's this site : create debate , where you can share yr personal opinions and view the opinions of others. It's useful when it comes to developing analytical writing skills and persuasiveness in writing . The themes are very well classified .
Hope this helped.
