Haha....U obviously kena plug!!!! I also tio cheated. Son said want to buy those e dictionary costing $300 plus but end up inside got plenty of games :slapshead:

Herbie : Thanks for sharing. My nephew who is in RI Sec 1 currently shared w me that DSA for RI will assess from P4- P6 mid year. The child will have to maintain 80% score to go direct for 2nd interview. ( Skip the GA test). For those who cannot achieve 80%, have to sit for GA test. But having said that, I was told that each year, the schools will change the requirements. For RGS, they focus only P6 mid year.


Toxic118 : She only participates in the CEP which is compulsory. That is CCA. On top of it, the sch offers HCL Enrichment. Both the days already keeps her occupied.

Aiyoh, GiftedGem, you really scare me... already talking abt DSA !
I wld be glad if DS can stay \"alive\" in this GEP prog by end of this year.

Well, hope wat u hv earlier mentioned is true.. girls tend to be more matured while guys are still in their playful mood. But strange though... why there are more GEP boys than girls ?

Hi


I'm asking on behalf of a friend who is currently overseas. Her son is interested to DSA. A little background, they been away since the boy was a toddler. He is currently in a gifted programme in his school (his younger brother as well). The boy has insufficient exposure to the language and has an exemption for PSLE. However, is interested to pursue Malay in upper levels. Can anyone share the number of malay boys in the GEP cohort or a class? Is this a rare sight? (for younger boy) How many take malay in RI? any in HI? Thank you

Is CEP considered CCA? Thought it was part of GEP required curriculum. :scratchhead:

Really? I din know that there are more GEP boys than girls. That also implies the girls have better chance for DSA of their choices. Haha ! My DD classmates are already talking abt their preferred sec schs and they can name these few - RGS, NYGS and Hwa Chong.

Any one know what's the average for the various schools ? I did a rough calculation based on CT1 results given, its about 77.9% for Nan Hua ...

Hi dagong99, how did u work out the average? That's amazing
DS scored 82% overall, can't ask for more :boogie: Without SS, it would be 79%.
The average for Math scares me: 86.2%.

Hi, sweetbaby, DS said there's two Malay boys in the other class in his school. Hope that helps, cheers
