      Fingers crossed... sounds hard according to my kid, at least she tried her best, that is the most important.

      Agreed.

      (although this is not a race nor an important milestone)
      Those taking the test today already beat 27,000+ people, when they arrive at the test venue.

      Everyone should be celebrating that.

      Since the paper ended, she is busy celebrating over a good lunch, dessert n movie next (Hotel Trans 2)

      So happy its finally over!!!!

      Another good book (but no audio) is \"the overparenting epidemic\" by George S. Class, David Tabatsky ***the title matches well for the current covid situation

      When i read the glossary, I burst out laughing on the different categories of parents under

      Glossary > I think I'm under \"Hyper parents\"

      Congrats to all on the final end of the papers!!! So HAPPY

              I think it depends on each individual when it comes to difficulty level for the various papers. My son's English is also not top notch but he reads widely (both fiction and non-fiction books). According to his feedback after 2 days, he ranked Maths paper as the easiest (it was easier than he expected), followed by GA 1 + GA 2 (both on par), then English paper last (but still manageable). He had time to check through all his papers, except GA 2 Part 2 (which they did today).

              An interesting aspect for GEP testing that I didn't know prior to my son's experience is that he told me they were given sample/practice questions (\"examples\") to do before actually starting on the GA papers (for both days). And these \"examples\" also came with answers + explanations that the kids could refer to after attempting them. For e.g., 5mins would be allocated for attempting 7 \"examples\". And the kids are allowed to refer back to the \"examples\" & explanations when they come across similar type of questions while doing the actual GA papers.

                  Hi.


                  This is my first time posting here.

                  Thanks to all the parents for sharing. My son refuses to tell me much about the papers. I have to pry and probe and he answers very reluctantly. He says he doesn’t want to be reminded about the papers!!! Sigh!

                    Keep an open mind. We will be informed of the outcome in less than 2 weeks' time. 🤞😊

                      Hugz. Don't worry. Sometimes those who thought they did badly ends up score well..Because different expectations level. Those came out crying from exam usually score pretty well. So usually I don't listen to kids' comment. Just wait and see. 😊

                        My kid mentioned the examples section too. It’s curious isn’t it? It definitely helps kids who have never been exposed to GA questions before.
