All About GEP

[cluelessmama]

Zann:

Thought Chinese lang is not a GEP subject and varies from school to school? Not all are taking HCL, am I right?

I thought all GEP centres take the mini test on the same day? Maybe I'm confused.

musette:

My dd said she'll definitely fail cos she had just enough time to finish the paper (only 30 min given!!) and didn't have time to check. Previously she always had plenty of time to check her answers.

According to kid, they increased the no of pages to 8 this year.

not too sure about gep CL but for gep HCL all centres should be taking the same paper and it is diff from mainstream HCL paper.. a bit more 'challenging' I supposed. If u are referring to p5 gep hcl test, my ds said quite difficult... :roll:

for my p2 dd and p5 gep ds, I engage a private home tutor..they have their lesson one after another... see some improvement in my ds chinese essay... but my ds is a 'grumbler', he grumbles on any tuition which he need to attend ..(btw he only got chinese tuition..the rest are wushu and piano lessons which he also classifies as tuition)

dd is very happy with the increase in questions (new format ?) -- reason being the marks are 'spreaded out' (if she gets a question wrong, less marks are decucted). she found the practice paper (last yr's HCL unit test) difficult and got penalised dearly in the compre section (cos that section alone took up 26 marks!). dd was utterly shocked at the std of that paper and kept telling me she wants to drop HCL next yr.

luckily she found the new format unit test for this yr easier. she has gotten back her unit test paper (teacher who is from another class mark very fast!).
