Why would one need GEP material??
If your kid is able to handle academic stuff beyond his level, u can always expose him to material for a level or 2 higher. Take up MO training in school or outside or self study. Plenty of good science material in public libraries too. Like they said, the sky is the limit. You are not confined just because you are physically not in the GEP environment.
Good post!!

It is probably better to exposure kids to wide base of knowledge, encourage knowledge acquisition rather than specifically preparing and targeting books meant for GEP.
It's about enjoying learning rather than drilling. -
Hi optimistforum,
Here's the link to maths GEP/MO if you are interested. At the moment, I do not see any for Eng or GA.

From what I could see, there wasn't much more resources given to my boy. IIRC, for maths and science, we only had 1 thick file each by the time we revised for PSLE.
I believe it not not so much of how much more outside of their academic level they are taught, but rather the process in which they explore maths or science concepts, the exchanges in class where they learn from one another...or when teachers correct misconceptions shared in class. Typically, I think the GEPpers get to express themselves and share their thoughts more than mainstream classes. That is something which cannot be replicated outside the GEp classroom...and there's no revision for this!!!

:faint: Aiya, the father is just asking for some resources. We are here to help each other.
I dont know why he wants the resources becos the father and his kids are not in Singapore, as shared by him in the other threads.
Since I know popular has, I share the infor lor. -

Popular sure knows where the money's at. If the parents want GEP screening resources we'll give it to them!

content inside GEP Maths at Popular looks "chim".
even if got 1% GEP kids, Popular will still want to make $ out of 1%. -

The one for GEP preparation? That's for 100% of the P3 population. 40,000-50,000 students? Got good money to be made there. Same as all those so-called GEP-preparation classes which charge an arm and a leg. Especially with all the anxious parents these days.content inside GEP Maths at Popular looks \"chim\".

If I were Popular I'd target the P3 market and not the P4-6 GEP students. Most of these students should be bright enough and would be well-supported by their schools.
