There is one thing I'd like to know though. Do GEP students fair badly in PSLE? What is the avg T Score of a GEP class?
Maybe some parents of Gep students who have already finished PSLE can throw some light on it? This can help ease a lot of anxiety of those parents who do not yet have a CO.

Tisha,

like Nebbermind said, it's not that they do badly, but high expectations from them, so some buckle under pressure, I guess. This is normal everywhere.

Indicatively, my DS batch from his school last year had about 49 GEPpers.
Group A - 270 and above - 12 students from GEP ( 1 from mainstream )
Group B - 260 and above - btw 30 to 35 ?
Group C - 259 or below - about 3 from GEP
( lowest was about 247 or 250, cant remember )

But some take their foot off the pedal after CO from their dream school, so cannot say for sure. But last year, those from GEP in DS batch were all excellent students, good attitude, diligent, hardworking, cooperative, etc. So he was fortunate that he had good peer pressure, because he is the lazy type ( who studies for his exams 4-5 days before the paper ).

LangMum:

Dear Strparent,
Do you mind sharing with us what was your DS tscore? I understand that for Supplementary intakes, the tscore has got to be much higher then the COP for that year. Is that right?

Langmum, my DS is in Group B, good enough for us

as for those who think 4 A* will reap you 260, it is not necessarily true. I have seen a student get 4 A* ( maybe 4 low A* ) and his Tscore was around 244, and another student 3 A* with 1 A, with a Tscore of 262 ( 3 high A* and 1 high A ).

Good luck to all taking PSLE this year.
I am having a break this year, but next year my DD will be P6 :nailbite: :nailbite:

4A* can't be 244 only.[/quote]It is possible and was evident in last year's PSLE result. After all, we are talking abut T-Score, not absolute marks.

[quote=\"Interested\"]Is there anybody who knows of any Geppers who score SA2 below 75% and able to get 260 plus in PSLE ? :salute:

it was discussed a few pages back that it's difficult to translate % into t-score without the actual statistics.

Sorry, I mean SA1 at 75% (Gep) and then managed to get more then 260 for PSLE... :scratchhead:[/quote]My fren's kid did that - no DSA offer though he is GEP as he scored below 75%. Went on to score 26x and ended up at one of the top boy sch.[/quote]

Nice to hear that ...at least know there is some hope if he really work very hard....asking this question as i dunno where my ds stand for mainstream result....not all paper return to them yet...again language oso not sure as some marks are not reveal to them too.

Interested, how did your ds do for his prelims? You would be able to get an indication of his performance against the mainstreamers in his school through his prelim results. Compare his results against the highest, lowest and median scores of his cohort.

Checked with my ds just now ... And he said he already know the Ss prelim score Liao :skeptical: .... So ksp is so useful to check on our kids :boogie:

hehe, he likes to keep you in suspense lah. :evil:

He said he told his father but forgotten to tell me .. :skeptical:[/quote]I thot SS for GEP P6 ended in SA1? And the so-called \"prelim\" is same as mainstream ? No? How come there is still a SS prelim?

So in this case does it mean the GEP promotion is base on CA1(20%) +SA1(30%)+Prelim(50%) at P6? Kindly advise this blur mummy here... TIA.

For this yr, the SS ct1 is on 4 April which is a mth later then the ct1 of other subjects. It does not have SA1. Marks for 2 portfolio projects and a group projects are accountable for also.
