Chenonceau:

So you are saying I am OLD? :spank:

I think you can definitely qualify for GEP if the timing is right. No lah, you are not old, retirement age is 62 yrs old, both of us are far away from there :rotflmao:

I could not find much information on the P3 GEP screening test contents/format earlier (searched using some key words in these forums/google).


Sharing this info based on inputs from DS (Aug 2012 tests) before we both forget :–

Maths: 1hr 30 mins.
Section A:25 questions, all MCQ
Section B:25 questions, answers to be written in provided boxes in another sheet.
Most questions similar to school tests, 2 mark Qs.

English: 1hr 15 mins.
Section A:25 questions, all MCQ - grammar, vocab, 2 MCQ compre.
Section B:25 questions, answers to be written in provided boxes in another sheet.
- cloze with fill in the blanks (own words).
- fill in the blanks.
- punctuations, prepositions.

If any of the experienced parents can share the format of the round 2 format/content, it would be useful too.

Thanks!

The experienced parents will probably say it's not necessary to know the format

I reckon the type of some of the questions are typically of the format whereby they give an example with solutions for a set of questions, and the child will answer the questions based on their understanding and deduction.

Cheers.

Hope this info is useful.

Hi, anyone know when the round 1 results would be out? next week?


How does the school or MOE inform parents usually of the results?

[Freshmint]

A friend said results will be released on the 10th. True?


But teachers should know the results by now. Round 1 is marked by the school teachers.

The school will issue letter to students who are able to go second round.
