Hi I am new, could anyone tell me if I want to transfer my ds to Nanyang Pri next year P4, what are the chances? What are the criteria they look for? Thanks.

simplest way to qualify is get into GEP

Agree. Only problem is that not all who get into GEP will definitely get into NYPS. In my son's year 6 from his school got into GEP and all applied to NYPS as first choice. 3 boys got in and 3 girls got posted to the school opp.

how many top classes are there in Nanyang ?

do they fix these class names, or every year change ?

your guess is as good as mine

it is not fixed in number or label

one year could be A or B or simply jumbled about.....

the objective is not to be fixated on it

usually the last 4 are GEP classes

[hmsg]

P4 onwards usually have 4 GE classes, 2 META classes and 3 to 4 HA classes…

Acc to the Principal, Mrs Lee, the META classes comprise of kids who are the 1.5 (not 2%)-5% based on GEP test. GEP classes comprise of kids who are the top 1.5%. She said that META kids could be the top 1.51,1.52, etc up to 5.0%. The kids in META class are considered as High Ability based on the GEP tests, so they are not necessarily 'better' than the High Achiever classes since only Eng, Math and GA are tested. However, it is noted that majority of the top kids fm P3 High Achiever classes (minus the 30+ who went to GEP) are in the META classes, and the rest mostly in 4A (High Achiever class).
