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.

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 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..

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.

Do not think so. However, they do have a class on the general Chinese syllabus.
They are more reknown for their creative writing, which will indirectly help in the general Chinese syllabus.

My exact thought.

PHPPS used to be a GEP school many years back. Since the gifted stream was phased out, there were changes to management and possibly teacher turnover, so the training might not be as vigorous/intense as those studying in the GEP schools. However, I do know that for P4/5 kids who fell short of the GEP selection but had done well in the rounds would be given GEP-like programmes after curriculum time.

Do you know cut-off to get into CH2 last year?[/quote]I don't mean to scare you. I know the percentage diff is miniscule, 0.1%. There are 31 pupils in Charity 2 this year. Based on my broad computation, the last position should be at least 95% last year (not proven).

It is a competitive class. Besides the usual few who are rather secure at the top, you will still hear different names springing up during mock tests for doing well. Almost everyone has the potential (I said potential cos like you had said, making careless mistakes) to get full marks for their strong subjects, not just scoring above 95.

The kids in top ten position for P1 last year are different from the top ten for SA1 this year. Like what markfch has mentioned, the changes are great in the lower primary cos many who excelled later can easily take over those at the tops. It's anyone's game at the end of the day.

So 285/300 = 95% to get into CH2. Very competitive indeed.
So it would be like 295-300 --> top 10
290-300 --> top 20
285-300 ---> top 30

Poor kids .... Sigh ...

What is the top score last yr ... 300?

I am not surprised at the \"musical chair changes\" in top ten.
Marks are just too close.

In business .. people always say .. \"Chiam Tan\" every cents of profit counts.
Now in school .. it is \"Hun Tan\" every marks count .. :lol:

Nope. Nobody scored full marks last year. So the top ten was not 295 - 300. 293 was at the 8th position.
