All About GEP

trileets:
Does it mean that even though they don't get into GEP, they are automatically assured a good class next year?
Aahhhh... That was in my mind as well. I think it depends on the individual school's policy. I inquired at my DD's school and was told that the school's streaming policy outside gep is based purely on school results. No brownie points for getting through round 1 gep. This is for RGPS. -
how about NYPS? Any one has any idea?

DS says Eng paper was difficult, Maths challenging and he did not finish section B. Also says both GA papers are fun and easy. Overall good experience for him.

My girl said today math n GA is pretty easy. But yesterday english is tough.

most GEP schools would have by now a category called \"high ability\" class which caters for those who just missed the GEP selection by a little....around the 95th - 99th percentile, since GEP is for the 99th ~ 100th percentile
they would probably band them tightly in those classes for accelerated learning and allocate the best subject teachers .... (logically speaking) -

your kid in NYPS ?
those with good results in P3, plus just missed the GEP selection, will be in \"high ability\" class, for the last 3 years. Not sure what the new principal will do this year
