Didn't realize that DS school has 71 children got into 2nd selection. 2 Big buses catered.. they appeared as if they were attending the school excursion
Mine DS school cater 1 bus for the kids whom parents are not sending to the school direct. I am not sure how many taking the selection test though.
The bus returned to the sch late about 1315hrs and some parents were unhappy about it. -

It is a mixture of maths, english and science roll into one ! luckily no MT ! -
My DS said that he cannot finished the last few questions of GA1 due to lack of time. He said English was ok
-
All the best for their tomorrow Math paper.

My DS2 is in P3 and he did not make it to Round 2 of GEP Test. DS2 is very different from his kor-kor, very playful and not focussed in his studies. Guess it's better for him this way, as it will require a great deal of maturity, independence & self-discipline to handle the rigorous demands of the GEP program, traits which I find still lacking in DS2.
Wishing your DS Best Of Luck and Great Success in his GEP Selection Test! -

Besides the \"traits\" of a GEPper that u see in your ds, can u kindly share with us your involvement as a parent in your ds1's GEP journey? I was told a true GEPper requires very little help from their parent(s). The projects done by the GEP kids all looked very cheem to me. -
My DS said English paper is ok but GA is pretty hard. Asked him to give example and he said...............forget liow
The GA questions are something like IQ questions. :?
