      [quote=\"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?

      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.[/quote]Do you mean GEP students with SA1 marks of less than 80 will only be put on wait list automatically ?
      Don't think there is that many with SA1 average of above 80.

            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 ?

              huh...1 only..that is quite little..
              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.

                  ya…I think those boys who have good performance during interview will still get a chance for CO.

                      So are these boys from ACS primary GEP all applying to RI or ACSI ?

                        I guess some are applying to Acs I and some to RI. Not sure which are their choice.
