I find this quite a hassle right in between the PSLE orals plus DSA applications.

I agreed, it is really a hassel to have it so near to the PSLE Oral. Was wondering why not schedule after PSLE Oral, together with the rest of the prelim wriiten paper.

I hope the GE Branch will make the change next year so that it will benefit the subsequent GEP students.

Does anyone know where is the venue for this year's CAP ? TIA

What do the kids need to study for the last SS common test / prelims on 16/8/11 ?

It carries 40% of the final SS marks right ?
And 70% minimum required to continue SS status in secondary school.

According to DS1 the last topics they covered is on colonisation. So will they be tested on this or all the SS syllabus ?

I find this quite a hassle right in between the PSLE orals plus DSA applications.

DS's SS teacher gave them a list of topics to study for the SS prelims -:
i) Our Education
ii) Our Industries
iii) Our Transport
iv) Future Problem Solving
v) SEA

Check with your DS, he should have a list too with details on the areas to be tested on. 2 more weeks to go and looks like a lot to cover.

Just got the notice from DS.
The best thing is there is no notes/handouts for all these topics.

can advise my friend ? … Thanks v much!


my friend’s son (P3 this year) at Henry Park - if offered a GEP place, is it better to stick to HPPS, or transfer him to Nanyang, since both are GEP centres ?
