GEP 2012 - Screening & Selection

For those who got into the selection test, do you send your kids for any GEP prep class? Is there a need to send kids to those classes to get them mentally ready?


My gal got into the selection round and I am not sure if I need to make any preparation for her or not. We did not do any prep work prior the screening test and she told me the screening test was tricky, but she managed to complete all questions. I asked her how she did the paper..she said \"just use common sense, no time to figure out so much lah\"

I think we aren't supposed to prepare them coz they either can do it or can't... If we prep them and they get into GEP, they may not be able to cope. That said, I am getting worried since my DD managed to clear round 1...Nit sure what to expect in round 2.

I'd agree. I told my DS to have fun in Round 1 and I am telling him to have fun in Round 2. Have means have, dun have means dun have, life goes on.

HI my DD also got in ! :rahrah: Just inform by sch today. Total i think about 45-50 in the cohort, and all DDs...


My DD also didn't attend any Prep GEP class. Don't know what to prepare her.
Frankly mummy feel a bit guilty here for not sending her for class, put her in a disadvantage position compare with those drill thru prep class. Hope she can got in thru her own credit. :xedfingers:

Your DD won't be the only one. Most parents won't know how to prepare their children unless they know what are being tested. So, majority are on equal footing, excluding those who went for prep classes or special enrichments.

The letter from moe stated there are 9 GEP primary schools.

Yeah,i think majority of the parents do not send their kids to GEP prep class.

Kids are kids afterall. Well that is his motivational factor , so be it for now. Maybe he will do better rather than telling him Must Study Hard To Become So n so...

Hi My DS also in, but the teacher didn’t announce how many of them were selected. I saw right lower corner of the letter with the school code then a number 16. Anyone know is this a serial number or the total of the round 2 student? He is from the neighborhood school in the East.
