[quote=\"jedamum\"]congrats to those who got through!

does the class teacher really announce how many got through?
i only know for ICAS, my kid's teacher just dished out the papers and told them to keep to themselves.

Huh ... Why so secretive :roll: ....

haha...my kid said teacher said don't compare. [/quote]The teacher's being a tad too secretive. It's only ICAS. High distinction, distinction, merit, pass. Good for those who did well. Anyway, nobody studies for UNSW right?

Or the teacher is being kind by saying tt so that those who didn't do well especially those who attempt it for the first time , will not feel stress or unhappy. anyway it is not accountable in school exam marks.

What's there to compare? There is no marks on the paper, it's either in or out, right? :scratchhead:
Don't understand what the teacher is thinking.....

[/quote]Hahaha, I mistaken that teacher asked them to b secretive about the GEP 1st round result. So sorry! :oops:

[/quote]Haha! That happens a lot to my dd too. Forget there's ICAS until the teacher comes in and hands out the exam papers. To me it's just a test of your knowledge and ability to apply what you've learnt. No need to study. Do well, good. Don't do well, no big deal.

My DS1 also got through round 1. His class (HA) had about 75% got through. Heard one of the MA class had only 1 who went through. His classmate from P1/P2 (not same class this year) also got thru - unexpected as his English was not too good, tho’ his Maths was excellent.
