GEP 2012 - Screening & Selection
-
Guess those who did not manage to complete the papers would not get a chance to be selected for the selection test since for gifted child, the paper should be considered easy and able to complete on time.

That is not true. There were children who did not manage to complete the papers in both round 1 & 2 but still selected for GEP. -
not necessarily.
From previous yrs’ screening/selection, many still get the call for selection even though they could not finish the papers. Some even cried after the screening. That’s the kind of stress they r facing these days!!
As for whether there is a re-test, I’m not sure. But I understand that some did call MOE coz could not attend the orig test, most prob MC. But not sure if they were given another or even went for the re-test if there were one. -
Not true, DD (now in Sec 1) didnt finish Math questions but was eventually selected for GEP.
Personally, I feel it is not a matter of whether can the child complete the paper but whether could he/she solve the question and give the correct answer. No point rushing to complete all questions and make mistakes (interpret question wrongly, making computational or transfer errors etc).baobei:

Not true lah. My DS went to :imconstipated: for 15 minutes .. during the 40 min English paper - probably didn't finish and still got in. So for those who didn't finish, there is still hope. -
keroppi,
You're very cute with the smiles sitting on the tub!

I was told each question is being rated differently . So it may not matter if u did not answer those Qs that carried little weight. Most impt is to answer correctly for those with heavy scores.

DD just said that Math was tough and English ok. She completed both papers but had to just hantam for some of the Math questions.
Asked her what kind of questions were they. She could not remember at all. -
I’m not worried about this and I told my daughter not to worry about it too. If she passes, she still has to sit through even more stringent tests. If she doesn’t pass, life goes on

I agree with jacsplace.
Told DS to just try for it. As he is still having CA2, I didn’t want to put on extra stress on him.
