GEP 2011 - Screening & Selection
-
sleepy:
And to add, these GEP kids are gifted as per the criteria MOE has set (i.e. English, Math, logical reasoning, patterns, top 1% of those who take the screening tests...), there are definitely other kids who are gifted in other ways not measured by the GEP selection tests...!gep kids or mainstream kids, they're the same in terms of playfulness, social skills, general characteristics, etc. Kids are just kids, gifted or not
Only difference is their processing speed, able to process info at faster pace and a bigger hard disk space to store more data -

Seems like no news yet. No one posted about receiving the legendary big yellow envelope
Spoken to the P when picking kid up today. P said she has not received anything yet (she should be the first one to know right). So perhaps MOE release it by batches...? Like Round 1?? -

According to my dd, IQ test much more detailed, GA questions aren't quite similar to IQ test questions. Although I doubt she remembered much of those IQ test questions since that was quite some years ago.Not sure if GEP test is an alternative to Mensa or IQ tests cos I have never seen any. You have?
I did ask her what are the differences but she couldn't relate in a way that I could comprehend. So I gathered it just not the same. Alright, she doesn't have a bright mummy

DD told me that for General Ability, they were given sample of questions with solutions to look through for 10mins and returned thereafter before started the actual test... so it is more on how fast they pick up materials to learn...

During my niece's 2nd round, my sis saw a few kids with papers doing last minute cramping . She wondered if that would be helpful for the kids.
