Congrats to all. My daughter’s school still has not released the results! I called the school just now and they said it’ll be released only on Monday. V slow.

my dd left 4 questions not finished during math test...to my surprise, i received my dd's call just now, she passed through the 1st round test... really surprised me.

Actually, I think the marks are deducted for wrong answers so leaving qns blank when one runs out of time is better than just filling in an answer. Your gal must have done well for her other qns. Congrats! :congrats:

CONGRATS to yr DD and U :rahrah: .

I have not heard about marks being deducted for wrong answers in the GEP paper as one teacher had advised kids not to leave blank ans, can other parents verify it. Thanks!

I’m not sure…but it does make sense. This is to encourage a thought-through answer than one that is merely a guess. But I may be wrong. I can’t even remember when I heard this from.
