      Usually they will not admit sending for prep course before the result is out.

      Hahaha this is so true. :rotflmao:
      I only heard some parents I know complaining that they wasted $$$ after the envelopes are distributed. šŸ™‚ Before that, this group of parents liked to make disparaging remarks about gep. Little did I know they were so keen to get in that they spent a small fortune (to me lah). People are funny sometimes.

        Then they pass even more disparaging remarks AFTER their children don't get in and they've spent a small fortune.

          Many parents refuse to believe that it cannot be prep. :rant:

              Well, apparently there are centres which claim success rate of x%, so I guess parents will still try...

                  If can prep then all should get in why only some x% gets in ? why is there still those without prep ( mean w/o those material n training) gets in? Isn't materials given to all and all have the same training then all should get in? Isn't becos of this claim that ppl want GEP material to be given to all? :?
