GEP 2011 - Screening & Selection
-
sleepy:
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...
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.chamonix:
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

Oh, my dd didn't mention that at all. Need to step up on her communications skills since I always end up with partial info

No worry... I faced the problem with DS 2 yrs back... he didn't even remember what to share with DD for her 1st and 2nd round... so she can only depends on her own ability...

And most of all, an unstressed mind.

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.

Ha ha! My cousin told me that she did not let her dd sit for the GEP screening/selection tests last year. She said in the end her dd beat all those who got into GEP to emerge top in school. Her reason is that taking the GEP tests distracted the kids from preparing for SA2. So I scared. I asked my dd to do past year papers even during the period of Round 2 tests as part of her SA2 revision schedule. I hope this does not fall under last-minute cramping or be seen as preparing for GEP tests!!chamonix:
