GEP 2012 - Screening & Selection

[sunnymumsy]

yes she is PSLE 2015. i meant that the last batch taking old syllabus will be tough so means that the unknown for 2015 is greatest!

Any idea what is the statistic of students in each school getting into GEP? It seems to be no difference for child getting into GEP or not except for extra work to do?

I don't see any reason why the last batch will have a tough PSLE. It should be as unpredictable like any other year :roll:

Cheers.

[quote=\"exhaustedmum\"]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.

i also no idea what to prepare and how to prepare it.

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.[/quote] :goodpost: Correct, there is nothing to prepare. Except maybe pencil and eraser

Just tell the child to enjoy answering the questions in the second round and have fun.

Cheers.

When my son got thru first round 2 yrs ago, he was worried abt having to change school. We told him don't worry as he need not change school if he doesn't want to. When he got into the program, we were still comprehensive but his teacher told him it wld be better for him n after attending the talk at nus high, we made the decision to join the program. So far, he is able to cope. So no worry parents, and you should not prepare your dd or ds as well. Let them enjoy the experience! :imcool:
