All About GEP

Hi Vanilla Cake,


Was your sister allowed to bring home the booklets? If not, then I would say she is definitely gifted in being able to remember what she went through up to this level of details! She has nothing to be ashamed of.

Ya, my elder boy took the tests in year 2006, came back saying he cant remember anything.

Hi ChiefKiasu,


My younger sister was not allowed to bring back all the booklets.In fact, she could even remember more Maths qns involving diagrams. I didn't post them as I could not know the technique for posting them and she could solve them correctly.

She could remember some GA-I & GA-II questions too.However, the last Maths qn was a killer.

She told me that she was out of the 1 % cohort. Bye2 to GEP.

PS :
Hi Jennifer,
Out of curiosity, did your elder boy got into GEP ? I think my younger sister took more time to remember questions rather than answering them correctly. What a tragedy.

Q1)

1 cat ----- 2 mice -----3 days
1 cat ----- 10 mice ------ 15 days
1 cat ------ 20 mice ------30 days
5 cats -------100 mice ------30 days

Q2)
For A to move 20m, B will move 12m
For A to move 1000m, B will move 600m
Therefore total distance between them is 1600m

Q3)
Area of 1 triangle = ½84 =16
Area o 2 triangles = 32 sq cm =area of rectangle

It’s amazing that a 9 years old girl can remember the questions under stressful exam environment.Enjoy your learning journey.

Best Wishes

Thanks for working out the answer.

I just check with my gal, she told me she got it right.I am very amused as math is never her forte.So is it the Eng that counts here?I puzzle.

Yah, it's amazing that she could remember so many question. My gal only managed to remember a couple of the english question. Ask her about Math, she said she couldn't remember anything... :roll:

Hi Vanilla Cake,


I sure you are a very loving big sister to your younger sister. I just wonder what if your sister manage to get through the screening and what are you next plan for her?

Hi gifted,


My younger sister (P3) and I (P6) are currently in the same school. In P1, she was in another different primary school.She joined me at P2 level in the same school while I was at P5.

Mum intended to use GEP as a springboard to jump into another different school.If she didn’t make it (passing GEP), Mum will encourage her to perform well in this upcoming P3 SA2. Hopefully, her strong SA2 results will be able to help her application for a transfer to a better primary school.

Warmest regards.

That's exactly what we did. P3 was also the year the school allows the pupils to participate in the New South Wales International Exams. My elder boy was able to get into a SAP school based on his results in these tests as well as his grades in school.

Wish your sister all the best.

Hi Jennifer,

Thanks for your useful tips.My lovely P3 sister got high distinction for English (top 1%) , distinctions for Maths & Science (top 3% & top 5%) in 2008 ICAS for schools conducted by the university of New South Wales.

Will remind Mum to photocopy a set of these results plus P3 SA2 results when applying for a better primary school.

My younger sister wrote this thread in another forum about the Maths area problem -> http://www.1800-teacher.com/forums/showthread.php?t=385
None of her classmates could solve this GEP's Maths area problem.

Warmest regards.
