HALL OF FAME
Janice glanced worriedly at her wrist watch. The time was already ten past seven. She had twenty minutes to make it to school on time. The sky was overcast. A slight drizzle rained down like a mist. It started raining cats and dogs as Janice reached the bus stop. She had ignored her mother’s advice to take an umbrella with her. She wondered how she was going to make itto school in the rain.

It was an idyllic Saturday morning. Fluffy white clouds hung in the clear cerulean sky. Granny Lucy was tottering to the market. Her heart was filled with light-hearted cheer and her mouth curled into a smile. She was looking forward to preparing a feast for her grandchildren, who were coming for dinner that night.

How to Overcome Common Challenges When Preparing For Your O-Level English: A Comprehensive Guide
- Posted By Randall Chew
Hello everyone! Whether you have just graduated primary school or are in the midst of your secondary school education, I am sure you already know that English is one of the most important subjects to score well in at the O Levels. After all, the grade you achieve for O Level English contributes to your L1R5 or L1R4 score as your first language (L1)—you cannot replace that L1 score with any other subject except for Higher Mother Tongue (and not everyone is skilled enough to excel in Higher MT). Hence, it is definitely essential to prioritise mastering O Level English as you prepare for your second national examination! Today, let’s go through three essential tips on how to overcome common challenges faced when you are preparing for—and later sitting for—your O Level English papers.
1. Be Familiar with the O Level English Syllabus
The O Level English Language paper as a whole can be overwhelming and challenging for most students because of the sheer number of components—as well as the large variety of possible question types that can be tested within each component—that you can end up being tested on. It is thus essential that you are very familiar with the four O Level English papers that you will need to sit for:
As seen from the above table, there are a lot of components you need to prepare for, and master, before sitting for your O Level English paper! In order to effectively master all these components, you must thus first be familiar with each of them, and what could be possibly tested.
In particular, Paper 1 and Paper 2 hold the highest weightage . Both also contain sections which can test you on a large variety of question types which you must be adequately prepared to answer, as it will be impossible to predict which question type will arise. For each of the components, we have listed down the possible question types as well as a link to a blogpost where you can read up more on these question types should you wish to do so:
It can take time to familiarise yourself with these components, so be patient with yourself and remember that consistency is key. Make time to constantly review each of the O Level English components—as well as what the variable question types that you can be tested on are—and you will be one step closer to mastering O Level English! 🙂
If you want some guidance as you try to familiarise yourself with these components, consider checking out our O Level Toolkit here (which offers examples of each component), or our blogpost on the overview of the O Level components here . All the best!
2. Manage Your Time Well — BEFORE and DURING the Exam Period!
It goes without saying that being a secondary school student is not easy. You have to juggle the revision of 7—10 subjects (depending on your subject combination), your extra-curricular responsibilities, making time for family and friends, as well as your own leisure so you do not burn out. This is a lot for anyone to have on their plate, and it is easy to become overwhelmed or experience a lack time for certain aspects of your life if you do not have proper time management.
So before any examination period , make sure you manage your time well. Here are some tips to consider:
- Get yourself a diary or scheduler to write down your existing commitments and plan out each week. You may also jot down what you wish to spend your remaining time on. For instance, I will jot down that I have Swimming CCA on Monday and Wednesday afternoons (3-6pm), and tuition classes on Thursday and Friday afternoons (3-6pm). In the remaining time I have in a week, I can schedule various revision sessions for my different subjects. Perhaps I will schedule an hour of English revision every Thursday night (8-9pm) to make sure I do not lose touch with the O Level English syllabus.
- Be realistic with your time management . It is natural to be ambitious when we are setting goals for ourselves. However, sometimes it is just not feasible that we can squeeze in the revision of the entire English syllabus in 3 hours on a weeknight—and we end up feeling overwhelmed and unable to revise properly as a result. A more realistic goal could be to plan to revise just two components of the English syllabus (e.g. perhaps Editing and Visual Text Comprehension) during that same time period instead!
- Set focused, specific goals as you plan your time . To add on to the previous point, keep your goals focused and specific so that they seem less daunting and more manageable for yourself. For instance, instead of simply jotting down “Revise English” for Tuesday night (8-10pm), jot down “Complete a Narrative Comprehension practise and mark it!” This will make your goals seem more doable and also provide you with a clear task to focus on. I promise you that if you do this, you’ll feel very accomplished every time you complete and tick off each specific goal on your to-do list! 🙂
Now, what should you do to manage your time during examinations ? Do consider the following tips:
- Before every exam , be aware of the time given and plan out how you wish to use the time . For instance, the O Level English Paper 1 (Writing) lasts 1 hour 50minutes and has three sections: Editing, Situational Writing, and Continuous Writing. If I know that I am strong and quick at completing Editing and Situational Writing, but require more planning and thinking time for Continuous Writing, I may plan to spend 10 minutes on Editing, 40 minutes on Situational Writing, 55 minutes on Continuous Writing, and the last 5 minutes on checking. Going in with a plan of how you want to use the given time in examinations will be extremely useful and makes sure you do not run out of time for each component!
- Don’t linger on components or questions which you feel very stuck on . For instance, the O Level English Paper 2 (Comprehension) has a large number of questions you need to tackle. When students feel stumped by a difficult question, they may end up wasting a lot of time on it. As such, they end up with reduced time to complete the other more manageable questions, and losing precious marks they could have easily obtained in the process. This is why some students end up being unable to finish the Comprehension paper at times. So remember to move on quickly if you find yourself stuck—you can always return to the challenging question when you have completed the other questions. A good guide is to move on from a hard question if you have been thinking about it for 5 minutes and are still unable to find an answer. If you are afraid that you might forget about these questions, you may want to circle or put a star next to the question number to remind yourself to come back to these questions when you have completed the rest.
3. Grow a Bank of Exam Strategies to Use!
Given that there are so many components to O Level English, develop a bank of exam strategies to use over your secondary school education. Here is just a list of a few that our english tutors Singapore teach at Lil’ but Mighty’s O Level English Tuition:
- In Paper 1: Writing (Section A: Editing), write down the acronym SPCA W ill S ave T he V ery P oor C ats so you can keep track of the different editing errors that may arise in the text. Have a look at this blogpost for an explanation of how you can use the SPCA acronym and other useful editing tips!
- In Paper 1: Writing (Section B: Situational Writing), always analyse the Situational Writing question, label the task requirements so you can keep track of them, and plan out an outline using these task requirements.
- In Paper 1: Writing (Section C: Continuous Writing), annotate on the essay question so you can identify the essay type and understand the key terms thoroughly. This will prevent you from writing out of point!
- In Paper 2: Comprehension, always label the question types for yourself before you attempt them. This will help you understand the question requirements and ensure you answer them accurately. For instance, a literal question tells you that the answer can be found directly in the passage, while an inferential question tells you that the answer must be deduced (and is not explicitly stated) in the passage. Again, if you are curious about the types of questions in Narrative or Non-Narrative Comprehension, you can read this blogpost and this blogpost respectively.
This list is in no way exhaustive, but just provides an overview of some of the most important exam strategies that can be used to tackle O Level English. If you are curious about any of these strategies that our english tutors singapore tech, why not consider checking out our lessons here ? There are many more of such tips and strategies that we teach in our classes. Alternatively, if you want a self-paced revision handbook, check out our O Level Toolkit here !
And there you have it. Three essential tips that can help you overcome the challenges all students face while preparing for the O Level. All the very best, and do remember to make time for breaks amidst all the revision!

Assessment for gce o level english paper 1 .

Visit the official MOE website to find out more about the GCE O Level English Paper.
Tips for tacking English paper 1
1 – Skim through the passage to determine whether the text is presented in the present or past tense.
2 – Go down the list of grammatical errors to check against the context and sentence of the text.
3 – There are only 2 sentences that are correct in the whole passage. Be sure to not tick more than 2 boxes otherwise you would be marked wrong.
A list of the typical errors to look out for:
- Subject-verb agreement
- Singular and plural forms
- Uncountable/ collective nouns
- Adverbs
- Pronouns
B: Situational Writing
Here are some tips on how you can tackle the situational writing portion of English paper 1.
1 – PAC
Teachers often stress the importance of identifying the Purpose, Audience and Context before writing. This will help provide students with a direction on how to begin.
2 – Explain your objective in the introduction
It is also important to identify the objective of the visual text and be able to pen it down in words. Hence, you will need to be able to understand the question and identify the purpose.
3 – Annotate your question paper as you read
Read the question details thoroughly and make sure that you understand what the question is asking you to do. Additionally, you will have to be able to understand what the question is asking you. Annotate as you read in between the lines.
4 – Including an insightful personal response
Students should include their own opinion and interpretation in their writing. It would be good to indicate your own stand (positive or negative) and explain why they feel this way.
C: Continuous Writing
After you have read the question and chosen which you’d like to answer, spend 10 minutes crafting an essay plan. Detail your introduction, body and conclusion in point form. This is crucial to ensure the subsequent essay you write is coherent and comprehensive.
GCE O Level English Paper 2
Assessment for gce o level english paper 2, tips for tacking english paper 2, visual text.
1 – Find the main purpose of the visual text and answer the question directly
“The main purpose of this flyer is to…”
Use call to action words likes, to convince, to raise awareness, etc.
2 – Read the title of the visual text
The title can give you an idea of what the text is about and even allows you to know what the overall message or purpose of the text is.
Comprehension
Determine first if the question is an inferential or direct question.
If it is direct, many times, you could just rephrase the relevant portion from the passage.
If it is inferential, take a bit of time to thoroughly read the relevant part and try to think a step further and figure out what the question is aiming to draw from you.
General tips for the GCE O Level English papers
Time-management.
This might be the most important skill to master. Write as quickly and as legibly as you can. But also slow down when it’s crucial.
For instance, it’s important to ensure you fully understand the passage, so after you finish reading it, you should write a 2-line summary of what the passage was about just to test your understanding. If you’re unsure of what a question is asking, especially if it’s an inferential question, skip it and come to it again later.
Be prepared ahead of time
The GCE O Level English paper happens annually around November alongside with the other subject papers. It is important to schedule your studying plan ahead of time and remove all distractions to complete your revisions in time.

IB English Paper 1 Explained
Ace your IB English Paper 1 exam with the #1 IB English Resource for 2022 as Voted by IB Students & Teachers
IB English Paper 1 is one of those nerve-wracking experiences that everyone has to endure. It's especially scary because you have no idea what you'll end up writing for your final exam–and your grades depend on it!
The best preparation you can do is be acutely aware of the exam structure and proven strategies that have worked for past IB7 graduates.
If you want to fully wrap your head around the IB English Paper 1 guided analysis, then this quick guide is for you.
Meet your instructor Jackson Huang, Founder of LitLearn. His mission is to make IB English as pain-free as possible with fun, practical lessons. Jackson scored an IB45 and was accepted to Harvard, Amherst, Williams Colleges, and full scholarships to University of Melbourne & Queensland.
What is a Paper 1 exam?
In a Paper 1 exam, you are given two mysterious, unseen texts . Each text is between 1-2 pages in length.
For SL students, you're in luck! Your task is to write a guided analysis on just one of the two texts. Total marks: 20. You have 1 hour and 15 minutes.
For HL students, you're in less luck… Your task is to write two guided analysis essays–one on each of the texts. Total marks: 40. You have 2 hours and 15 minutes.
The mystery text types you'll get for Paper 1 depend on whether you're in IB English Language & Literature or IB English Literature.
For IB English Literature , Paper 1 text types belong to four neat categories (hooray!):
- Fictional prose (e.g. short stories, extracts from novels)
- Non-fiction prose (e.g. scientific articles, extracts)
- Dramatic plays
For IB English Language and Literature , your text types could be… really… anything. Be prepared to be surprised. Typically, at least one of the text types will include some visual element like an image, photo, or cartoon. Here's the (non-exhaustive) list of Lang Lit text types:
- Magazines, blogs, articles and editorials
- Speeches, interview scripts, radio transcripts
- Instruction manuals, brochures
- Comic strips, political cartoons
- … and the list goes on…
What do I write in a guided analysis?
For each Paper 1 text, the IB English Gods pose a short, open-ended question.
This question is called the guiding question , and your essay must focus on answering this guiding question using analysis (we'll explain “analysis” in a second).
Examples of guiding questions:
- How does the writer characterize the protagonist's state of mind?
- How and to what effect do textual and visual elements shape meaning?
- How is narrative perspective used to create meaning and effect?
Even though you're technically allowed to choose your own focus and ignore the default guiding question, it's highly recommended that you go along with what's given… unless you really don't know how to answer it, or you're super confident in your Paper 1 skills.
Now, what are we supposed to do with the guiding question?
Guiding questions always ask you to explain how and why certain language or visual choices are used to build one or more central ideas .
And so the vague instruction "Answer the guiding question" actually translates to something very specific:
Explain how and why the writer uses specific language to build their central idea(s).
This sentence pretty much sums up not just IB English Paper 1, but the gist of analysis and IB English overall.
Writing Deep, Insightful Analysis
If you want to get a high score on Paper 1 (and every IB English assessment in general), you must know how to write deep, insightful analysis.
After helping numerous IB English students at LitLearn, we've found that weak analysis is the #1 reason students struggle in IB English.
Biggest Mistake
The main mistake you're likely making is that your analysis doesn't dig deep enough .
Students make the mistake of only touching the surface-level meaning of the texts. For example, common mistakes include:
- only recounting the plot
- mentioning techniques and ideas without digging into the how and why
- not identifying the most relevant techniques for analysis.
The diagram below shows the difference between surface-level meaning, deep analysis, and deeper analysis.
If you're unsure about how to write strong analysis for IB English, or you're not confident in what to look for in your texts, then you should watch this free 7-minute video lesson from Learn Analysis: Analysis Foundations.
Learn Analysis
No sign up or credit card required.
Essential Techniques you need to know
So how do we write strong analysis that scores highly on Criterion B?
First things first, we need to know how to analyze the major literary and visual techniques (visual for Lang Lit), so that we can quickly find and analyze them under exam stress.
If you're cramming for Paper 1, here are the 7 most important techniques and concepts that you should know for IB English Paper 1. They apply to all text types in Lang Lit as well as Literature:
- Tone, atmosphere and mood
- Diction and voice
- Metaphor, simile, and personification
- The 4 main types of imagery
- The 3 types of irony
- Juxtaposition and contrast
- Grammatical and structural techniques
There's a bunch more, but these 7 categories make a great starting point. The first step is to learn their names and definitions, and flashcards are an excellent way to do this.
Of course, memorizing isn't enough. We also need to know the common effects and purposes behind each of these core techniques, so that we can build a mental library of the most common ways to deeply analyze each technique. If you don't study each technique in detail, it's much harder to invent deep analysis on-the-spot during an exam.
We go deep into each of the techniques in Learn Analysis . Here are just a couple of them to get you started.
Level 1 Techniques
Your One Mission in Paper 1
Let's quickly recap what you need to do in a Paper 1.
- You need to discuss the characters, themes and plot of a chosen literary text, OR the visual and stylistic elements (diagrams, headings, titles, images) for a non-literary text.
- You then need to explain how and why these aspects were achieved by the writer or artist.
These two points are helpful as a basis for understanding, but they won't help you get concrete words onto the exam page. What we need now is a practical guide to writing an actual essay:
- Deciding on a good thesis
- Choosing the right points
- Choosing the right structure
A Practical Guide to Writing a Paper 1 essay
An IB English Paper 1 essay boils down to 3 separate parts:
- An introduction paragraph : contains a thesis and an outline of your points
- A body (usually 3 paragraphs) : contains your points
- A conclusion : wraps up the essay
Choosing a thesis
The thesis or subject statement is a single sentence in the introduction of the guided analysis that states how the writer achieves their overall purpose.
This is also the main argument that you are trying to prove in your essay, and it's typically related to the guiding question . The examiner can usually judge the strength of your analytical skills JUST from your subject statement alone, so it needs to be well-written!
Choosing the right essay structure for IB English Paper 1
Every text works best with a specific paragraph structure. Finding this match isn't always easy, but it's also one of the most important things to get right in your Paper 1 guided analysis.
You can organise your essay by:
- ideas or themes
- sections (sequential, e.g. stanza by stanza for poems)
- the ‘Big 5'
- and probably a whole host of other acronyms that English teachers love to invent.
Criterion C for IB English Paper 1 is Organisation . It's worth a whole 5/20 marks, so it's definitely in your best interest to choose the most appropriate structure for your essay.
Pro Tip: I recommend students to stay away from the Big 5 . Sure, it's useful as a memory device to tell you what elements to look for in a text, but it's not a good essay structure for analysis.
Why? Because analysis is about examining the causal interplay between techniques, stylistic choices, audience, tone, and themes. The Big 5 and SPECSLIMS artificially silo these components in your discussion. Heed my advice or pay the price! (notice that rhyme?)
So in my opinion, there are only two types of structure that are most conducive (yep, another new vocab, omnomnom) to getting a 7. Ideas/themes and Sections . Take this as a hot tip and run with it. If your teacher is forcing you to use other structures, then you'll need to know why this is recommended.
We go into much more depth and explain it all inside Learn Analysis.
Pro members only
Writing body paragraphs: Why and How
Once you've chosen the best structure for your essay and decided on a strong thesis as your central argument, the rest of the essay needs to revolve around proving this argument.
How do you prove this subject statement? You do it by looking at individual points. These smaller points support smaller, more specific aspects of the overall thesis.
The idea is that each body paragraph, or point, aims to prove a separate, smaller aspect of the bigger thesis. It's like a jigsaw puzzle : You must piece together smaller, more manageable pieces to build the bigger argument (i.e. the thesis).
In reality, this translates into writing 2, 3 or 4 points, each of which fits snuggly it its own paragraph or multiple paragraphs (depending on the complexity of the point).
In each point, you must include:
- Quotes, references to images, titles, headings, or visual elements. This is the evidence.
- Analysis of language and literary techniques. Use specific quotes from the text and explain how and why they are used by the writer to shape his/her message.
Obviously, this is a quick summary of how to write a high-quality body paragraph. We dive deeper into the specific details of how to structure a body paragraph in the guided analysis.
Planning ahead
Ironically, the most important part of IB English Paper 1 is not the analysis itself (well it is, but not really). The part you have to get right the first time is the plan. Most students do not know how to plan effectively, or get flustered in the exam and don't plan, or don't even try to plan because they think they're above it. Big mistake!
Before you even begin writing, you should plan out your essay in sufficient detail. You will lose track of time, thought and sanity if you do not have a clear road map of every part of your essay before you begin writing.
You can learn how to annotate and plan quickly & efficiently using the flowchart method, which we demonstrate inside Learn Analysis and Paper 1 .
In the Pro lesson below, we go into detail on exactly how to plan a Paper 1 essay effectively and efficiently under exam conditions.
How do I practice for Paper 1?
Most students think that doing a lot of practice papers is the best way to improve in Paper 1. However, there's a much more efficient, targeted method to study for Paper 1.
We work our way up from the smallest, most manageable chunks of analysis to the full Paper 1 exam. It's a good idea to reserve real IB English past papers for 2 months before your final exam so that you don't run out of past papers--they are the best preparation for the final exam. Also, if your analysis skills aren't already strong, doing real past papers is a waste of an excellent exam prep resource.
