      I disagree that most GEPpers are good in English. Primarily most GEPpers are good in Maths. Roughly there is an equal proportion good in English or Science. The weakest subject for GEPpers is MT (other than those in the schools such as Nanyang etc.)

        I believe most selected for GEP are pretty strong in their English and not just IQ. Perhaps that explains why someone observed that the more affluent kids get selected.


        Mention the affluent word har, I am going to buy popcorns now :evil:

        u buying the 'affluent popcorn' Garrett? :rotflmao:

                      Just out of curiosity, those kids whose names got published mostly from which primary schools?

                        Also I am curious can sue the center for exposing the pupils? For divulging their \"secret\"? For subjecting this group of prep-ed GEPpers (if not all the GEPpers) to scrutiny? :siam:
