GEP 2011 - Screening & Selection

[david59]

Three of my students in my centre went for the GEP test. Understand that the result will be out in early November, is it?

Really, is there a need to go for tuition if you r already achieving 90+ in ur study? Just buy good assessment books n practice consistently should be sufficient in my opinion. Maybe unless you r weak in a particular subject. My two girls never had tuition when they were in Primary school. However, only in P6 did we sent them to tuition centre for Chinese subject as they were consistently getting about 70+, hopefully to enhance their aggregate overall.

i know of geppers who are scoring high 80 and 90 still gg for tuition..

I think for some parents, they have been sending their kids To tuition centre since lower primary, so they will not feel secure not sending their kids in upper primary To tuition centre even if their results are very good .......

I think in that way it is very difficult for their kids to become independent learners.

hm…i know it is OT, but i think in some instances, going for tuition does not mean not independent learners. some tuition centres really do have better/more effective teaching methods/tips that amateur independent learners cannot duplicate with the short amount of time and inexperience (dunno where to find shortcut solutions/effective tips).

Hey, that right!, some gep kids just need that to boost their result which will boost their self esteem especially they are not getting that from school teaching.

Just curious, are there special tuition centres for GEP? The topics they cover are quite different.

Since the briefing for kids who gets thru selection will be on 12 Nov…looks like we can expect results to be release starting late this week + early next week…


Good luck to everyone. For those who are still taking their EYO examine, good luck and do your best. You are less than a week to enjoyment for job well done

I don't think there are tuition centres which cater exclusively to GEP. But it seems many geppers go to The Learning Lab.

[phtthp]

besides Learning Lab, where else ?

[Nebbermind]

heard of GEPpers going to TLL too. But they r more of an enrichment ctr…not a tuition centre.

Well the super expensive tuition centre is very near the Bukit Timah centres so it's not surprising that you would see more of these students there. Just as you would see a congruence of other non-GEP Bukit Timah schools there plus mainstream students from the GEP schools.

Can share which tuition centre near Bukit Timah you guys are talking about?
