The 2027 editions of the Microeconomics Express and the Macroeconomics Express are back from print. Every J1 who registers for Headstart and every J2 who registers for the Ultimate Exam Pack from today gets the 2027 edition, not last year's. Separately, and only for the J2s: today is the last day for the two bonus booklets. Register for any Ultimate Exam Pack before tonight and the Micro Exam Prep Summary and the Macro Exam Prep Summary go into your materials pack. From tomorrow they do not.

Nicole on what to do with the weeks after prelims. https://youtube.com/shorts/mbu4F2or7D0 ~ ETG team

🌀 Motivation Monday: 5,126 failures James Dyson built 5,127 prototypes of his vacuum cleaner before one of them worked. Not 5,127 attempts at the same thing. 5,127 versions, each one changed because the last one told him something. His line about it: "There were 5,126 failures. But I learned from each one." Here's the bit worth borrowing. He didn't bin prototype 4,000 and start again from nothing. He read it. He worked out exactly which part failed, and changed that one part. Your prelim script, J2. Your promo paper, J1. That's prototype 4,000. You can look at the grade, feel bad for an evening, and decide you need to redo everything. Or you can go through the paper question by question and work out which part actually failed. The intro that restated the question instead of answering it. The evaluation paragraph that got as far as "however, this depends." The diagram you drew from memory and got slightly wrong. The case study answer where you had the point and never used the data. That's a much shorter list than "revise everything." And it's the list that moves a grade. One paper. One evening. Go find your 5,126. ~ ETG team

📋 J1s: what to do with the fortnight after promos Your paper comes back, you look at the grade, and then most of it sits in a bag until January. Here's a better use of that fortnight. Three hours, total. 1. Go through the paper question by question and write down what actually went wrong in each one. Not "I need to study harder." Things like: didn't define the term. Drew DD and SS but shifted the wrong curve. Wrote an evaluation that got as far as "however, it depends." 2. Look for the ones that show up more than once. A careless slip in a single question is a slip. The same mistake in three questions is the actual problem, and there are usually only two or three of those. 3. Pick the two topics you genuinely could not explain to a friend at lunch. Two, not ten. Those are the December job. 4. Write one essay. One. Under time, no notes. Then read it against a model answer rather than against your lecture slides. That's the whole thing. J2 starts in January and it assumes J1 is done, so the useful move is knowing precisely which bits of yours aren't. You've got three months. Three hours of it is enough to find out exactly what to fix. ~ ETG team

🚨 FREEBIE FRIDAY This week's drop: a full chapter out of our GP Volume 4. Housing in Singapore 🏠 It builds to one question: how far should public housing policy in Singapore put social objectives ahead of individual choice? Sixteen pages. Inside: What a resale price actually tells you, and what the Resale Price Index does not measure. It does not track BTO prices, or what a household earns. When priority becomes exclusion. The same eligibility rule that decides who is helped decides who is not. The Ethnic Integration Policy, as what a rule like that achieves and what it costs the owner it constrains. Why a lifetime is not a lease term, and what 99 years actually does to a household plan. Then an ETG-original model answer with its six moves named, to read after you have written your own. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/scl/fi/p80eaoqy4gjpo7tfbj74v/ETG_GP_Vol4_HS8_Housing_in_Singapore.pdf?rlkey=vr9wo46dnmh9bnr9vlamup71k (Live till 2 October.) (THIS is one of the chapters in our Term 4 GP textbook!!) ~ ETG team

Nicholas is one of our ex-students from HCI. Here he is, in his own words: https://youtu.be/ZMfI63aVjzg "Mr Toh is very patient with us, and he's very frank and honest." If you are a J2 with your prelim script in front of you, have a listen. ~ ETG team

Hi J2s, if you are considering what to do after your prelims: Economics Essence Workshop, Friday 16 October. We go through 20 essay questions from this year's prelims and last year's, so you don't have to. TYS Crashcourse, 23, 27 and 29 October. 60 essays and 20 case studies in three days. Ten years of H2 papers, every question dissected. Seeing that many in one stretch is the point. You stop meeting each question cold and start recognising how they are built. Final Consolidation Lecture, Saturday 24 October. Mock Exam 1 on 28 October. Mock Exam 2 on 14 November. The TYS Crashcourse sits in Packs B and C. What is in each pack is laid out on the page. https://www.tuitiongenius.com/ultimate?utm_source=telegram&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=2026-09-tg-0923 ~ ETG team

for the J2s who just finished prelims (and looking what to do next), hear this from Mr Toh: https://youtu.be/t2w6tUY1lUk

If you thoroughly cover the TYS properly (full 10 years), you will cover a total of 60 essays and 20 case studies. And then what you will find out is that, through covering these 60 essays and 20 case studies you will end up covering almost ALL of the content in the syllabus + in the way the exam testing will be done. You will also start to realise that there is a recurring pattern of what kind of questions tend to come out, or how data analysis questions are tested. And the exposure to all the different types of questions. And if done correctly, you will also learn skills like -How to dissect questions to figure out the content they are testing you on, and what you need to write to score -or how to write evaluations for different types of questions. And if you would rather stop guessing, maybe join us for our TYS crashcourse (conducted by me) https://www.tuitiongenius.com/tys-crashcourse/?utm_source=telegram&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=2026-09-tg-0919 ~ Mr Toh

Here it is, the free chapter from the Microeconomics Express 2027. Demand and supply: the price mechanism, where the demand and supply curves come from, movement along a curve against a shift, equilibrium, shortage and surplus, and what happens when one curve moves or both do. Ten pages. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/scl/fi/lfknxi1uq4ppww9legw4y/ETG_Microeconomics_Express_2027_Demand_and_Supply.pdf?rlkey=5fypb95hp2oa99vgch7oy422e ~ ETG team

This is the Microeconomics Express. For the last few years it has been one of our students' favourites, every year. We have just finished the 2027 refresh and sent it to print. It is not for sale. It comes with being an ETG student. Would you like a free chapter from it? Poll below. ~ ETG team

Om was one of our students from NJC. He came for classes with his friends. Here is what he says: https://youtu.be/lKz7vIfXVmw "Before I came for tuition, I used to hate Econs, but after his lessons I actually gained interest in Economics." If you are a JC1 with promos next week and Econs is the subject you keep pushing to tomorrow, have a listen. ~ ETG team

Do you listen to any podcast? I listen to The Diary of a CEO, and one line from Steven Bartlett has been on my mind this week: "Your success is hidden behind the consistency in your daily actions, no matter what obstacles try to disrupt your path." I think one way to quickly start, is to -Work on 3 to 5 essays daily (during this exam season) -Look through the 'model answers' and compare with your own answers, and figure out why the model answer framed the structure that way -Figure out any content gaps that you have while doing corrections -Practice writing 'paragraphs' from the model essays that you think you struggle at -If you are taking A Levels, try to complete 50 essays/50 case studies before the A Levels At ETG we try to build the same habit in. 1 essay + 1 case study for every week you are in JC, set as homework and marked, week after week, and the TYS Practice on our LMS gives you hints and feedback part by part when nobody is around at 11pm. "Consistency > intensity." He is right. ~ Mr Toh

As a welcome back to school gift, here's a free chapter from our Term 3 GP textbook :) https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/scl/fi/jvvgcszhxudkcx5t7lni2/ETG_GP_GLO3_Pandemic_and_Preparedness.pdf?rlkey=4akrcrji1xvgq3bbhgzkxej3r ~ ETG team

This is Nicole explaining the Ultimate Exam Pack, along with what our past year students say about it. Have a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlfS35oOz9g The Ultimate Exam Pack comprise of a few things A. The "VOLUME" part where you get exposed to a large number of essay questions + case study questions. If you choose Pack A, it's 24 Essays from L2 Essay BC 16 case studies from L2 CSQ BC 20 Essays from Essence Workshop If you choose Pack B, it's 60 Essays from TYS Crashcourse 20 Case studies from TYS Crashcourse 20 Essays from Essence Workshop Pack C is both B. It includes our Final Consolidation Lecture, where Mr Toh does two things in the final lecture -Run through everything he thinks its important to jolt your memory about conceptually before you take your exams -It includes an analysis of what he thinks will be tested for A levels this year (his predictions based on his analysis of past year papers) C. It includes TWO Mock Exams. In the two Mock Exams, he will set questions he thinks has the highest chance of coming out for the exams. THere's no guarantees about his predictions, but we have been quite spot on so far. We do not guarantee it. The "spot on" part is our students' words, which you can watch in the video. https://www.tuitiongenius.com/ultimate/?utm_source=telegram&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=2026-09-tg-0913 ~ ETG team

All ETG Econs students have a certain amount of credits on our system, which allows them to use the following 4 features that are powered by our proprietary AI LMS system (which is powered by the ETG Intelligence, which draws its knowledge from all of our Econs understanding, past year essays, frameworks and notes). Ask Econs. It's like instant consult. Any questions you don't really quite get, you ask, you get a response. TYS Practice. You can practice 2016 to 2025 TYS questions, part by part, and you get hints and feedback. Grade my Work. You upload an essay or case study and get a breakdown by part and top things to fix. My Progress. Everything you work on digitally on our LMS, everything you uploaded, is analysed to figure out your strengths and gaps, and it gives you a score for each concept you have written on, so you know what to work on next. It shows you the habits it keeps seeing in your own sentences. We will also give the same access and credits to all incoming students who register for Ultimate Exam Pack / Last Lap. See www.tuitiongenius.com/ultimate/ www.tuitiongenius.com/last-lap/ ~ ETG team

Exposure to a wide range of questions will help you see: - How to dissect different questions - How different concepts are tested in exams - How to structure your answers to the question requirements That is why we have a benchmark at ETG, and that is that students should be doing 1 essay + 1 case study for every week they are in JC. This would work out to something like 100 essays + 100 case studies over 2 years. If you have not, that's ok too. Check out www.tuitiongenius.com/ultimate (Where we attempt to cover a large number over a very short period of time) ~ Mr Toh
