GEP 2012 - Screening & Selection

[gogoahead]

keroppi:

There's really nothing to prepare for at all.
If your child gets in, it means he/she is up to par for the programme (by his/her own merit).
If not, it does not matter - life goes on in mainstream where the majority of the cohort is.

cannot agree more..

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?

Would u believe me if I say it's social engineering?

Because girls end up becoming housewives or tai-tais? :rotflmao:
No need GEP programmes to teach them which colour nicer on their nails

The above is just a joke. No offence to housewives because I'm also one.

2011 Girl
2010 Male
2009 Girl
2008 Girl

so they should give equal chances rather than favour boys

Haha maybe all the boys who are good went GEP.

GEP still take PSLE. but not as mainstream who have a lot time to prepare for the test. I heard GEP only start to prepare PSLE two months earlier.

my girl is through the first round! Will consider letting her stay in mainstream, though. I want her to be fully prepared for PSLE instead of doing the GEP work which is not so related to PSLE. furthermore, this is the last batch taking the old syllabus, so her enrichment teacher has already hinted that PSLE 2014 will be tough as it is the last round.

Through the first round doesn't mean she is in GEP.

I thought your DD should take PSLE on 2015 in stead of 2014?
