25hr mama:

The above link is the Information on GE Curriculum and Assessments for P4 GEP 2012, shd be applicable to all the 9 GEP centres, even tho' its by Tao Nan here. Hope this is helpful to all.

Thanks a lot 25hr mama.

By the way, I see in this presentation mentioned there are two ERP assignments, but I remembered DS only did one in last semester. Dadong99, do you know your ds has submitted one or two?

One only, DS2 always forgets his homework, esp if no need to hand in immediately or those to be done during school holidays, that's why I'm a bit worried when he said no... no new ERP ... please let me know if your DS has it. Thanks.

[YY1205]

Yes, no new ERP so far. Will let you know if any new assignment.


BTW, DS’s chinese teacher just advised the composition is still 二选一。

Ds didnt bring back HCL paper, did anyone see the paper already?

Is comprehension really so tricky? I never thought HCL could be so high standard?

Haven't gotten the paper but DD did say that comprehension is tough!

The last comprehension carries 26 marks.Understanding of the passage and Chinese must be good to do well for this particular comprehension. One of the question is to explain the understanding of 一寸光阴一寸金，寸金难买寸光阴.

Overall score is 15/ 26. Real killer.....

U r most welcomed, pinball, dagong99 & YY1205. Glad u find the information helpful. Hope it can help clear some of ur doubts and uncertainties.


I can fully understand the worries p4 parents have, especially those who have a 1st child going thru the GEP, since I have been thru it myself. Personally, I feel that when we parents r more informed of what is going on & what to expect, then we can help our kids better in terms of time management and preparations.

I have benefitted from the sharing of many helpful parents here too, thanks to all KiasuParents. :lovesite:

Hi 25hr mama, tks for sharing. This comes real helpful ! Yes, most of the parents here are 1st timers having our kids to enter GEP. Each center may have its own to GEP briefing, personally I find TN's presentation slides are user friendly. Easy to comprehend and provide some detailed information which DD's sch do not include.

[GiftedGem]

No Lah. Refer to the comprehension part. If this SA2 overall agg score is bad, will prepare DD to downgrade to normal CL in P5.
