E3:

However, the better she gets, the harder for me to let her understand certain values in life. It's a challenge for me sometimes.

How true. Balancing their confident and humility levels is an art.
All of us are still learning.

We encourage them to excel, try their best and yet to let the know the important of values in life.

An intelligent child without the right values is not ideal either.

Cheers

E3:

the top 3 classes require at least 90% overall. SA2 is 70% weightage so if your ds can score for SA2, it can make a difference to his overall marks. All the best! :rahrah:

:!: WOW.
I read somewhere that to get into CH2, they would require about 280/300 = 93.3% so the next two class will be from arund 270-280/300.

The level of competition is CRAZY. :siao:
So careless mistakes will be a BIG determining factor.
Assuming 10 marks of careless in 3 subjects . .that's like 3-4 marks per subject .. that's SCARY.

All kids make careless mistakes .. so now it boils down to who make less.

Then my ds no chance for top 3 classes liao, cos he makes tons of careless mistakes/take short cuts answering qns when not supervised. Still the happy-go-lucky kind.

Any idea how many CH3 pupils passed the screening test?

My boy's FT carried out lessons as usual. Only 3 pupils in the class are going for the selection test next week.

7 pupils in Ho3 will go for the next round of test. Heard that top2 classes of Nan Hua , 50 pupils were selected for the next round.

I am not too sure how many got in selection round in PHPPS.
But for GEP School usually the top 2 class are into 2nd round.[/quote]Since CH3 has 3/4 and FA3 has 1/4 through, that makes about 45 pupils from top 2 classes. That's not far off from Nan Hua (50) which I am sure has provided special training for their pupils...

The GEP discussion thread has set me thinking what's the diff between the sch preparing the pupils since P2 and parents with kids not given sch training but going for 3rd party training. There are parents criticising this group of so-called kiasu parents but did not point finger at the kiasu sch

Anyway, good luck to all going for the selection test. If a child is selected, we as parents must bear in mind whether the child really suits the GEP prog in terms of his maturity level as well, cant just depend on IQ level.

You still have chance. For your DS, P1 has not even started yet.
Practice made perfect .. so practice more

Trust in the selection test. Their hit rate on the suitabliity of the candidate for GEP is pretty high. Majority of them that got in, with or without training, enjoy the program.

So if your child got in, just give it a shot.

For compo, you can try Busy Bee at Rail Mall.

They are in the midst of expanding, so next year enrollment should be able to accommodate more student - hopefully minus waitlist

I actually tried to get her into busy bee this year but long waitlist so gave up.

Do you happen do know if their creative writing class includes compre too?

Thanks.

I thought it was higher than that.
[quote]All kids make careless mistakes .. so now it boils down to who make less.[/quote]Bingo! A test of tenacity, good checking skills and accuracy, not so much head-knowledge or what's tested in the syllabus.
