GEP tests must pass both English and Maths.


Dr Peh reply only concentrate on the Maths portion. To reach IQ 130, he didn't mention on English part ?

English can't be trained overnight mah. Language is what the kids must build from young. I have both GE and mainstream kids and I observe their difference is only the language portion. The GE kid loves to read by nature, and simply anything under the sky. So he got in lor while the mainstream one got \"kick-out\" at selection phase and I am glad he did not slip into GEP else he would have to suffer at the high demand of GE language portion. He has proven to be better off at mainstream to build his language foundation and eventually got a high T-score while he also received DSA offer after taking their GAT.

He didnt' mention about English. He also didn't answer my original question which was about whether needed to take an actual IQ test - since their website states minimum IQ 130. He just asked about if the child could do 4 operations & problem sums.

[Robertpattinsonidle]

you have to ensure that your child’s vocabulary is powerful

[Robertpattinsonidle]

for maths, as long as your child can identify patterns and knows a bit of p4 maths its ok

Good evening


I have uncovered two other publications: Test Your Reasoning (Robert Gibson, 1987) and Test Your Intelligence (Archibald Kitto-Jones, 1982). I have reviewed them and they would be useful for GEP Part 2.

Both titles are from the same suite of educational books published by the publishers of First Aid in English; they are therefore robust and useful tests for those transferring to secondary schools.

They are out of print and can be bought from e-bay and Amazon. They do not come with answers, but I also possess the published answer booklets. I can scan and email these to whomever needs copies.

O

My DS1, who is a rising \"9\", is using the Test Your Intelligence books. He attempts one exercise a week. I would recommend this for GEP study; it boosts cognitive intelligence.
