GEP 2011 - Screening & Selection
-
My girl said today was much easier than yesterday. Most kids coming out after the exams seem pretty elated. I guess they did well too. Wish all the kids good luck. It is OVER at last.

thanks for all the sharings …

My DS finished this 2-day brain drain exercise. He managed to finished both the papers yesterday, but left out 6 questions for today's math paper. He said the math was really tough, and the questions became harder and harder. His comments on GA1 paper was \"weird\" questions, but was \"interesting\" on GA2 paper. Any way, congratulations to all the kids \"survived\" these 2 days. Good luck everyone!
Oh, you are really fast ! My DS probably on his way back home. Most likely \"game over\" too. Shall ask him about the interesting questions later after work. Nevertheless, good experience for them ! Cheers ! -
Most of the kids guess a lot and didn’t finish some questions

My DS1 is in P6 GEP and he has just finished his PSLE. He has COs (confirmed offer) from RI & HCI thru DSA, and will be accepting the offer from RI.
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!
I think each individual kid have their own traits.
Thanks for your wishes.
My DS is those type of carefree type not sure if he can make it or not as we never prepare him or send him to those sch for training.
He in fact consoled himself that at least he got a chance to try the GA paper to see what is it about.
more diligent & mature, P6 this year too, just finished PSLE, got CO from NUSHS, WL from HCI thr DSA too ... Younger DS character more carefree but he enjoyed yesterday session very much although he said quite tough for him...brought lots of snack to share with friends for today's session, hope he enjoy today too .... think its a good exposure for younger DS even if he cannot make it... anyway, we also didn't prepare him for it, just want him to try since he has the chance ....[/quote]Hi dagong, Congrats to your DS1.. is he from GEP too?
Ya, we also didn't prepare our kids for the GEP Tests or send them for any special training courses, as we believe that, only a child who has what it takes (naturally) to be selected for the GEP Program, would truly enjoy and benefit from the program.

Oh ..no..no... elder DS not from GEP, just that he is mature for his age and very consistent in his work, so he is able to handle his studies well without having me to focus too much on him, esp this year PSLE, his school already very \"kiasu\", his teachers almost \"drive\" all of them \"crazy\" with lots of homework, so we do not have to give him any tuition at all, good for us, can relax a bit
