We correctly predicted a huge number of essay questions that came up for A-Level GP 2019! Just check out our Instagram page @generalpaper to check out our highlight on this (where we show a story we posted before the A-Level paper, spotting the topics!)
Some of these questions came as no surprise, keeping in the Cambridge tradition of likely setting the exam two years before (or based on two years before)—considering the rise of Donald Trump, in particular—these were some questions we prepared our students for.
P.S. for other GP questions from other years, just enter https://GP.sg/ (followed by year number) —e.g. https://GP.sg/2022 ! We are still in process of adding these for all years, though!
