ya...they very clever...they got to screen the p3 kids earlier then MOE

[vlim]

But anyway, if your kids don't pass their entry test, I suppose u know what it mean....they also don;t want u to waste money

therefore, it means that if the kids pass their entry test, they are also smart enough and hence don't need to join their tuition

it is extremely easy teach the smart and motivated kids

Yes, the screen is also good for us so that we don’t waste our time and money.


But most important don’t waste their precious seats so that they can take in the most capable students and if they can really "groom" them to GEP in P4 they can use these student names for their advertisement. Well, that’s a win-win situation.

yap u may say so...But for borderline 'gifted' children..maybeeeee it helps......but these children who manage to get in to GEP eventually..emmm hopefully they can cope with the programme.. :idea:

Er....mmmmm.....entry test free or not? if free, can just let the kids sit for free test lol....
any idea how do they design their tests to screen kids' giftedness....?

any GEPers' parents here care to share what kind of charateristics your child display in early childhood? also other informations like:

were they breastfed? if not, what is the brand of the formul milk did they drink? what kind of food do they eat? (more seafood?)
are they mischievous?

Haiyah, my son passed their entry test, spent like 6 terms there, and results in English in school didn't improve much, and by the following year, he dreaded going, so we stopped sending him.

Doesn't mean it works for all. So even with screening, their teaching may not even be effective.
