For HCI Test, there is a "Free Response and Dialogue session". Any idea what this is about? Is there any written test?

Put it this way, there are all kinds of parents. Not all are Kiasu to the extreme.


Personally, I feel that this forum is very useful. I know what to expect for my child.

Whether to prepare the child for GEP test, GAT test is personal choice, parents have to bear in mind that to prepare for these sort of test is not necessary good for the child. That is, what if the child is so prepared for the test, scored very good marks and actually is not up to it, and in the end suffer during the GE class or RX/RXXX ?

BTW, some top GE students were invited to a 2 days camp in RI on 24/25 June while others are taking the GAT test on 25 June 2010.

Just curious - what do u mean some \"top\" GE students were invited to a 2 day camp. Where did u hear from ?

the written test is the \"free response\" questions - supposedly to test the kid to determine why he choose HCI

The dialogue session is the interview. Heard the free response questionnaire would form basis for discussion during the interview

Kids do the written free response paper first which consists of short q&a (based on ds memory) - what's the world's greatest invention, what you wanna be when you grow up, interpret walls and water.

A few of my son's classmates who always do very well (top scores in class) in the GE class were invited to the RI camp.

So I supposed these top GE boys need not take GAT but attend the RI camp instead..

It is stated in RI website that GEP kids do not take GAT if their average scores in P & P6 is above 80%
