GEP 2012 - Screening & Selection

[Kiatkhim]

As my child is on MC today so called his school to check. Result slips not given out but has confirmed that his name is in the selected list. For those anxious to know to make arrangement on the test dates, can call schools direct.

[quote=\"jarjez\"]Hi JAR


:congrats:

Btw, which school is your DS from?

:thankyou:
DS is from Poi Ching.

Guess not all kids are notified yet as it seemed(from DS's desciption) that his principal had just gotten the result slip hot from the mail and rushed to inform the kids before school ended today.

:congrats:

The principal is kiasu one... :evil:[/quote]Hey, he is not kiasu, just being very nice knowing some parents are waiting eagerly for the results. I am grateful that I get the notice earlier than my friends/colleagues because of him.

Is it true that the 4 papers will spread over 2 days, i.e. 16 & 17 ?


My girl informally told me over the phone so but I have yet to see the slip with the info. Can only check tonight when at home.

Can share what to expect round 2? Any tips to share?

Thanks

You can pm me.
I am not very sure abt GA too. Guess General Ability(GA) tests mainly on general reasoning, higher order thinking, IQ(?) ... GA1 is linked to Eng and GA2 math-related(IQ type?).
GEP Screening and Selection test is for P3 level, so all selected kids will sit for the same paper.

Anyway he had agreed to go for the selection test. Told him no point worrying about it now, just do his best. He may not get selected (& we are already very happy that he made it to second round). If he qualifies, we can still choose to go or not after the briefing.

Good!! Just go for it.

Hi Jar,

:congrats:

Good for him to get the experience. Tell him that he should feel proud that he made it to the Top 4000 students and that his well being will be definitely be considered should he qualifies after the 2nd round.
