Secondary School Math isn't the only subject the GEP students would have been exposed to. They would also have covered secondary school humanities.

that is why for RI, the teachers review with the few mainstream students their progress in each of the GEP class vis a vis the classmates who came from GEP background

My friend DS who is from mainstream and applied under maths domain, but rejected by RI also. I know the boy is a very capable kid who is one of the top students in a SAP school in west area. He got high distinction 2011 UNSW science. won distinction in RI Math, Platinum in SMOPS, Gold (one of top 30th) in NMOS, Gold ACS Math Olympics. Distinction for ABRSM piano Grade 8,school prefect, completed 2-year MOE TTLT program……. Unable to figure out WHY being rejected.

Those are impressive achievements. I'm surprised he was rejected. Maybe he didn't perform that well at the interview.

no interview for mainstream.

Go Greenwood Ave and have lunch.

Heard Greenwood Ave got one restaurant with free flow of oysters as long as you order a main course.

I don't know if you're referring to Fish Market & Bistro. The food there is good. They have oyster promotions every Tuesday.
