GEP Assessment Books

[Nebbermind]

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.

The one in popular is only for GEP maths

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.

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.

Optimistforum is in the UK. His kids study there. However, he tends to purchase local assessment books for his kids as he finds them much more challenging than the ones found in the UK.


I do not believe he intends to 'drill' his kids into the GEP programme. Rather, it is for the purpose of exposing them to more mentally stimulating materials. Perhaps he feels his kids are able to tackle them.

Please correct me if I am wrong, optimistforum

Sorry didn't make myself very clear. It's not GEP prep book but cater to GEP/MO Students. The content is not at all \"chim\"! It's what they are doing in GEP. I find some qtns similar to their GEP worksheet.

Forget anoint GEP prep class. If u want to send your kids, try MO instead.

Oh I was referring to the GEP Math Prep books, the photos of which were posted here just now but I don’t see them anymore. Says GEP Prep on the front.


Actually no need for the GEP workbooks if the questions are the same as those provided by the schools for GEPpers right?
