[gogoahead]

Puzz...zzle:

Is it true MOE take more % for boys than girls each year ? think 3/5 to 2/5 ???

according to my friend, yes, GEP has higher % of boys than girls.

But i don't know it is because the boys score higher or because the selection % is higher.

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.[/quote] :thankyou:
He is ok now, just dread the feeling of having to relocate to a new school if he clears round 2(not that he will definitely qualified since his strength is on Math only). Think I am more excited than him. I hope they will have program for those who can clear round 1 but not round 2 that he can join.

Oh my friend told me they fix certain % for boys & girls. So even a girl score higher than a boy , she may not selected but the boy yes.

Yes, during my elder girl's time, it was 150 girls and 400 boys. Heard it was deliberately so. For what reasons, I don't know. Anyone? However, in recent years, MOE is slowly closing the gap. Anyone can tell us what was the ratio for last year's intake?

Over the years, it's usually the ratio of 2 B : 1 G but not because of selection % is higher for boys. They will tell you during the GEP briefing when your DC is qualified for GEP. By the way, the GEP briefing for selected pupils into GEP will be held in NUS High School on 10 Nov.

Hi, my gal got thru the GEP round 1! Is there anything I should do now to help her prepare for Round 2? Feeling guilty as I don’t spend much time teaching her (have been focusing on my elder daug who is in P5) & she only has Chinese tuition.


Anyone, any advice? Btw this is the 1st time I posted in this forum… din know it’s so easy.
