Sounds like a substantial number of kids made it through round 1. Is this true across the board?

My kid is in a GEP school and even then, I’m surprised by the number going by MOE’s lines.

my daughter is in a girl’s school, 10 opted out of GEP screening, so 29 girls in her class sat for it. 5 got into round 1. So it does seem like the number is high…who knows？

For sure. It makes me think about the demographics of kids who got into round 1 though.

My kid was in a neighbourhood school and in her year less than five from the whole cohort into second round. And only some famous schools have more than one bus load of students got into second round that they need to hire bus to transport the kids to venue for second round.

For context.. my child’s batch, 8-10 in the school went to round 2 and 1 passed round 2.

Hi parents, I agree that perhaps more students got into round 2 this time?

I didn’t pin much hope but we got the letter from MOE, my son is from a non-GEP school.

Congrats to all who made it, it is still an encouraging news for the kids!

A friend just sent us this for more info. Sharing here for fellow parents who are curious about Round 2. Hope it's ok?

I doubt it’s any more or less than last year. 10% of screened gets selection test and 10% get Invited for GEP. My kids class is the average class where 4/40 got thru next round


Thanks, revils-ling for the link. Some useful tips. I’m sure there are parents who will send their kids to such courses. But to all, please be mindful that if your kid’s “intelligence” is somehow inflated by extra coaching, may not benefit them eventually. There’s some risk they can’t appreciate / keep up with the GEP syllabus and get demotivated?
