r2010:
Is RI interview one to one or in a group? Anyone has been called yet? Thanks
Heard interviews are conducted in groups of 3. 15 mins for 3 pupils so on ave each get 5 mins. No need to compete to answer. They will ask each kid different questions. -

Ds finds the test manageable, not difficult. Out of 59 questions (1 question is sample) he is unsure of 5. He guessed the 5 unsure questions but only managed to shade 3 before they said times up. So in the end 2 questions unanswered. His classmate also didn't finish 2 questions. Overall ds enjoyed it, however he wished the questions were more difficult and more time given then it will be more fun for him. My ds loves maths Olympiad and is used to tough questions. Anyway heard that less than sa1 less than 80% should be in waitlist so Gat won't help. Now left with nus h selection test this sat.RSS:
Ds went for ri gat today. Over 200 boys were there, geppers as well as boys in the sports and academic domain. Essentially gat date is determined by application dates.
How did he find the test? My friend's went and said couldn't finish the test. But then many of those who went also couldn't finish? -

It was very challenging indeed. Didn't help that there was 1 large screen with the countdown timer. Anyway, we told him to just try his best and not to worry since it seems that no one manage to finish the test.
Yes my ds also doesn't like the timer but is used to it. They often do that in maths Olympiad. Ds school maths teacher ever did that, flashed timer on screen and throw in loud sherlock Holmes music. All these is to test if they can function under pressure. -

Don't think there is that many with SA1 average of above 80. -

Not automatically but historical records shows high probability.

But can't be so many GEP students with SA1 ave above 80 per year right ?
Apparently DS's school only one this year.
So from 9 centre at most maybe 50 ? -

So estimated tt the number of p6 gep boys is about 375. So 5% of boys is about 20, 10% of boys is about 40....20% is about 80...30% is about 120... :roll: -

So far here the only one we knew who has above 80% is your DS. -
