Just got a call from my DS1. His school Pei Tong got 4 out of 12 who make it and he’s one of them. Not bad at all fr a neighourhood school without any GEP preparation. Think his school must be upset to lose 4 of their top students.

[quote]12 from my DS's class in SHPS went on for selection and none clear the round two.


Congrats to all kids who clear the selection and good luck[/quote]Is your child from the top class? Thought I heard that a number from SHPS got in.

My son told me about 10 of his classmates got in but all but one want to transfer out. That’s 1/3 out of 30 from his class who sat for round 2. He is from RVPS.

Hey my DS from RVPS too, our sons are prob classmates...the one not transferring I heard from DS is the top girl in the class. BTW congrats you...what school are you considering for your son, if you dont mind me asking? You can PM too if you prefer so, cheers !

I think that it is becoz there is a difference btw being gifted and being good at mugging for exams. ^.^\" Doesn't mean if ur grades are v good that u are gifted.


My DS1's best buddy and him often vie for top placing in class. My DS1 usually lose out coz his Chinese not so good. They are neck to neck in terms of their other subjects. I was also surprised that the boy didn't get through. It could be that he is able to mug well but thinking out of the box is another thing altogether.

I often wonder what is it they look for in the papers because they are also not concerned if a student finishes all the questions or not.
