        yes, interview is not to test correct answer, but to see how confident you are to articulate yourself

          Anybody can share from those taking part in english, maths or science domain in RGS half day selection programme held today?

          Thank-you.

          There're 40+ girls. They registered at the CLC then proceeded to different rooms for their respective tests. 18, 11 & 15 (Eng), three groups. Not a crowded event.

            [/quote]Agree w twatau. The exact question was Respond to 'PIER'. To me, it is testing the kids' creativity. Anyway, they r supposed to be creative being in GEP. Don't think there is a right or wrong answer to it. Let's cross our fingers.

              related to 'future school' thingy ?

              the recurring theme for HCI is 'future school'....

              my DS wrote a \"proposal\" in Chinese for HCI future school where every student are supposed to do their own things at their own pace without facetime with teachers but has to be in school....and how to ensure real learning takes place...that was his DSA topic (2009)....lol[/quote]He wrote this in chinese? I'm impressed.

                Is this just the first lot of girls doing the domain tests with additional batches later on or is this the only batch? 40+ only is a very small select group. Good luck to all who took part.

                  Sounds like an acronym for something. My guess would be it's something related to HCI, like their values or vision etc. Or some course? I'm just hazarding a guess though.

                    Hi Jtoh,


                    Yes, this is the first batch of domain test.For second and third gat girls, they are yet to take their domain test.

                    I think for math domain, there are 30 plus girls.


                    Cheers,
                    Lynn2
