[joconde]

Thanks all for sharing…mathsparks : I’ve more or less decided to sign my son up for a weekly course, and I believe the centre will provide mock test papers, anyway, thanks for offering the help

I believe that the hardest of them all is the RI paper. Some of the questions are excruciating hard and tedious to solve and will require tremendous observation skills in order to spot the trick and answer the question in less than 3 mins. 20 MCQ in 1 hour. 3 minutes per question. Good luck.

Hi kiasuparent, kind to share where to get a copy of past year RI competition questions? Thanks.

Sadly, son is not in AMEC club so didn’t get chance to try RI paper.

hi i am sorry i no longer have the copy of past year RI questions. I have personally done the questions and i know the difficulty level of most RI and SMOPS papers.

You can try clicking on this link though: http://contests.heymath.com/AdminLogin.page?module=scadmin&action=login&testID=RI09#

Change RI09 to RI08, RI07 to see past winners.

Is it anyone can register to sit for these math tests on your own as well? Any idea?

My son (in one of those GEP schools) was only given these application forms in P6 year only, not earlier - all students were given. Altho' those in the GEP were probably asked to take in p4, & p5 as well.
