The IRP


Intensive Revision program. That's the name given. Originally pioneered by KMB, it's also practice by KMS now. We sit in groups of four or five, and do group discussion on pass year papers. The program consists of three stages. ie. Read and recall session, attempting the question under real exam condition (within time), and lastly, rectifying mistakes of the answer scripts. The excursion of this journey normally begins a month before our final exam. Five days a week, the program last for eight hours with a short tea break and lunch break in between. Attendance is compulsory for all students. Topped with a so called specially planned IRP meal, the school hopes that students will get out of the program with more ideas of the real exam to score the best. The specially planned meals aimed to reduce sleepiness during the discussion may not be favourable to all students. The proportion challenge and lesser presentation values makes it a great challenge for students to go through before the real exam. Some ex-students gave credits to the program but the meals.
