For many Primary 4 and 5 students, English Paper 2 is the “make-or-break” component of the subject. It accounts for almost half of the total marks, yet many children lose points because they are unsure of the right answering techniques.

Our 3-day English Paper 2 Bootcamp is designed to give students the strategies, practice, and confidence they need to secure steady marks. Over three focused days, students learn how to approach comprehension, grammar, and synthesis questions systematically, practise under realistic exam conditions, and gain immediate feedback from experienced teachers. This intensive yet supportive programme helps students tackle Paper 2 with clarity and assurance, ensuring they are well-prepared for both school and PSLE assessments.

Why Paper 2 Matters So Much

Almost Half the English Grade

Many parents underestimate the weight of Paper 2. It carries nearly half of the total English marks, making it a crucial component for a strong overall grade. Consistently scoring well in Paper 2 can provide a stable foundation for students’ English results, reducing pressure in other areas such as composition, where scores can fluctuate.

Composition vs Paper 2

While composition marks can vary depending on creativity and personal expression, Paper 2 is more predictable. It rewards clear techniques, structured answers, and strong grammar. With the right strategies, students can secure reliable and consistent scores, giving them confidence and a sense of control over their English performance.

What Students Learn in 3 Days

Day 1: Comprehension Cloze & Open-Ended

On the first day, students focus on understanding and answering comprehension questions effectively. They learn to identify contextual clues in passages and practise forming answers in full sentences where required. Teachers guide them to avoid common mistakes such as copying directly from the text or ignoring keywords in the questions, ensuring students develop a clear, structured approach to comprehension.

Day 2: Grammar & Synthesis and Transformation

Day two concentrates on grammar rules that frequently cost marks and step-by-step guidance for sentence transformation. Students master how to apply grammar correctly and practise synthesising and transforming sentences, building skills that directly impact their Paper 2 performance. Teachers provide immediate feedback, helping students correct errors and internalise proper techniques.

Day 3: Full Paper 2 Practice

On the final day, students attempt a complete Paper 2. Teachers guide them through each section, highlight errors, and demonstrate correction techniques. This hands-on practice allows students to apply all the strategies they have learned, building confidence and exam readiness while reinforcing accuracy and time management skills.
