NYPS - The overal GEP TOP performer each year comes for each level comes from this school. [quote=\"2centsworthy\"]
As far as I know, from information divulged by GEP teachers, this is definitely not true. The school which produces the top performer for each year/level varies from year to year. Perhaps many but certainly, not all hail from NYPS.
Whatever it is, these kids are all very bright and it is not really important whether one is at the top or bottom of the top 1%. Making it to the top 1% is already a very remarkable feat in itself.
:congrats: to all successful P3 GEP pupils and their parents !!!

I am wondering is there a need for the younger sibling to follow to GEP school, especially if the 'old' school is nearer to home?
What are the advantages of being in the same GEP school? Thanks for sharing your thoughts -

Problem is the younger feels left out... my daughter already making noise..I am wondering is there a need for the younger sibling to follow to GEP school, especially if the 'old' school is nearer to home?

Also, from earlier explanation given, seems like those who passed the first round but never make it to 2nd round (top 5% in Singapore), will still be 'guided' accordingly in those GEP schools... compare to those 'non-GEP' school... -

Yup... agree.. they won't indicate in the report books on what are their ranking... in the GEP, all students are specials.. nobody better or worse...Whatever it is, these kids are all very bright and it is not really important whether one is at the top or bottom of the top 1%. Making it to the top 1% is already a very remarkable feat in itself.

I saw another parent quoting that if in GEP school and ifthe kid dont have chance to got GEP (after writing 2nd round exam) those students will get to learn something same as GEP students. This is only in GEP schools
Actually, a lot of non-GEP schools will round up those who passed the 1st selection test but didn't make the 2nd selection and put them in a special class (that mirrors GEP). For example, ACS Jr has the Thoburn class, MGS has the Sophia Blackmore class and many other schools also have something similar.
