The top PSLE in DD's school last yr was from mainstream class not GEP class. Just to share above here

Hi Orangejuice, wasn't last year's top PSLE scorer Bianca? She's from GEP.

Maybe I got mixed-up with the year before ..cant recall the girl's' name that I read in school's newsletter but I think she is Eurasian and was from F class.

Wow, so nice of the school to charter a bus for them. DD's school has around 80 or more going for round 2, but no chartered buses.

Hi Parents,


Are the GEP selection test rigorous enough to select only the gifted?
My child is worried that he may barely pass the test or he may pass mainly due to luck.
He did not welcome the idea of being the bottom few in the class.
He is worried that working on projects will neglect his studies.
He feels unsure that he is able to maintain an average score of 75% up to PSLE for DSA purposes.

Your DS is so different with my DD.

My DD want to go GEP because she was told there are a lot of fun activities for GEP students, and she likes to work on projects...
