Someone posted some of the 2009 GEP Maths questions, advertising his services. Looking at those questions, a parent who wants to prepare their child would do well to purchase and practice on the Math Olympics book sold at Popular.

Ya, just saw the post by a Kelvin Ong.
You are right, the Maths Olympiad book should come in handy.

So did your son practics the Maths Olympiad book sold at Popular before the selection test?
watmekiasu, what about your dd?

No. I bought the book 2 days before the Math paper, took a look and eek! :!: I spent that night trying to figure out some of the questions but gave up. Math is not my forte. That's why you'll never see me contribute any opinion or solutions in the Math thread. :oops:

Yeap! My girl also did not receive the yellow envelope today…


If the result is out on 31 Oct 09… (someone mentioned that earlier), i supposed that they are still trying to get it sorted/printed out…

No need to If you get the \"yellow-envelope\" in the next two days, at least you know she is gifted by nature.

That's true.

Come what may, every child is gifted in their own way. Mine is musically gifted so I guess it's a bit too much to ask God to throw me more crumbs by way of mental giftedness.

Hi All,


So GEP is selected at P3? If the child being posted to GEP schools at P3 can the siblings follow along? Assuming where current one in P3 & another one going to enter P1 next year.

hi titank

GEP is selected at the end of P3… and the kid past the GEP test, he/she may choose to go to GEP school at P4.

Hope that clarifies yr query.

Well the P1 would already have registered for a place by now. So if the GEP school has a vacancy at P1, then the P1 would be able to transfer over. But I believe this is quite unlikely because the P1 places were allocated by Aug and unless there are students transferring out, how would there be any vacancies? But no harm trying....

well that was what happen to my case last yr whereby by boy transferring to another gep school and I had registered my girl at his old school. The gep school told us they will try to arrange our kid to join their p1 class.. however after some thoughts I decided to let her study at our son old school. There is a gep kid who was also transferred to the same gep school as my son, he has a twin brother. So the mum transferred the twin brother who did not manage to get into gep to the same school as his gep brother but of course in the mainstream.
