GEP 2011 - Screening & Selection

Happy Mama:

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.

Goodness so ungracious! I thought those schools with >20-30 kids going without school transport are already ungracious. But ard 80!! I am flabbergasted. Poor parents got to do the running around.

I'm very curcious how many students from Top/GE school clear round 1 GEP test . I think this will reflect a school realistic level.

last time during my DS' year of GEP screening, his class has 32 out of 39 cleared round one, whole school approx 30% cleared round 1

may not be the same every year

they do the round 2 test at home ground

wow so high % get through to round 2. Plus home ground advantage for round 2 :evil: So must be quite a few who cleared round 2 eventually.

Anyone (or know of someone) decide against sending their kid to GEP and then regret the decision? Pls share. TIA.

So impressive. The same starting points, approx 30% cleared round 1, your DS' school is really wonderful.

I knew NYPS' last year figure is about 140+, your DS school is at the same level. :salute:

hmmm... tot u mentioned that ur DD likes to go GEP as there are many fun activities n she likes to do projects?

do u mean GEP is suitable for teh_oh's DS who dnt enjoy working in groups :?

I mean my DD is a blur girl, she did not even know what GEP exactly means...she just want to find a place full of fun...

I felt teh_oh's DS possess the GEP student characteristics.

I am really curious how do you define GEP student characteristics? Knowing that GEP has quite a no. of projects and group assignments, will teh_oh's son enjoy such tasks?
There are alot of bright kids and there are bound to be someone at the bottom of the class, so if he doesn't like being one (if he happen to be in that situation), then is that one of GEP student characteristics?

[phtthp]

curious, wondering which of the following primary schools have most pupils clearing both rounds 1 and 2 ?


- Rulang
- Pei Hwa
- Rosyth

- Tao Nan
- Nan Hua
- Nanyang

- Kong Hwa
- Catholic High
- Pei Chun

- St Hilda
- ACS
- South View
- Bkt Panjang

Would think the tip top ones should be ard 30%. This is roughly in line with the % of ultimate PSLE scores of 250 and above in P6 for these schools. Of course there will be kids transferring out or in after GEP round 2.
