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.

:congrats: to mickeyhmh and ds! :rahrah:
All the best to your ds in Round 2. :rahrah: :rahrah:

I know the time is a bit short..... Just want to know if what is covered in the papers will be something that he already knows or probably may not know, so that we can set his expectations. He keeps thinking GEP is easy to get in...... :slapshead: Don't want him (ok, i admit : AND me) to be too disappointed if he doesn't make it.

Hi guys,


I'm also trying to manage my DS's expectations by telling him it'll be much tougher than the 1st round.....

Strangely the reason why he wants to go GEP is so that he can be with his friends...4 out of his 5 best friends got into 2nd round.... :scared:

I'm also not sure what to expect...if anyone can provide some sort of insight would be good. Worry he see the papers and freak out during the test :imdrowning:
