Hi mrsseah


At least your daughter can remember the 50 in the number pattern question, this shows her memory is not too bad after all. :lol:

Actuali there r a couple of other pattern questions, however I m not sure how to post the diagrams :lol:

My son's memory not good too - he can't remember any of the questions - but he did tell me one of the questions has the pattern divide by 2, minus 2, divide by 2, minus 2... i think he should be talking abt this one..

Btw, did ur kids say how many questions are in the papers? Just checking to see if my son hasn't missed out answering any questions... heee..

Does it mean that even though they don't get into GEP, they are automatically assured a good class next year?

I thought those students (particularly from the neighbourhood achools) who are selected for the GEP test are already in the best 1st or 2nd classes in their own respective schools? No? :?

Not necessary, as the best 1st or 2nd classes have to take CL and Science subjects into consideration. Some of these children that went for the selection test must be really good in EL and Math.

Maybe they were already quite strong in English and Maths to begin with...

Hi walterp


The pineapple question can hv a few answers, eg. It could be 2 pineapple symbols (each value of 6). However, this is a mcq question, and their options include 6 but no 2.
So, the correct answer is 6 :lol:

I asked my son about the question on 50, 48,24, 22 (?), 9.


Best is when he said… I dont remember there is this question!

those with good results in P3, plus just missed the GEP selection, will be in \"high ability\" class, for the last 3 years. Not sure what the new principal will do this year

\"Twining\" lah ... :lol: :lol: See if the HA pupils will be doing SS and IR like in nhps, if I am not wrong nyps HA students currently don't?
