GEP 2012 - Screening & Selection

[mwchua]

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

Hi Jar,

Congrats!!!

I understand from your message that ur kid is from Poi Ching.

There are few doubts that I unable understand that which printed on the test slip.
regarding subject and following general ability I & II.
Oh dear, I am lousy that I don't really know what is really going....:(

How about all level are the same? mine is P3...
Would you mind to share with me more.......

Thank you in advance!

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.

GEP screen test is for P3 only. First round the selection rate is 10%, and second round is 10% also. So only 1% can in the program. You can read this post so you can know more about GEP.
