[quote=\"ngbrdad\"]So is RI interview individual interview or 2 or 3 kids grouped together ?


Btw just heard from my DS that there is still SS in the coming prelims.

Thought GE syllabus finish by SA1 ?

So if one get thru DSA for GE domain but fail the final SS test then what ?
Go to normal class ?

You have to pass SS to be awarded GEP status in secondary school. Not difficult to pass.

Ge proomotion is solely based on Ss preliminary exam. Do they look into Ss exams since p4 gep?[/quote]No, it's not based solely on SS. This is from the MOE website:

After Primary 6, promotion to the next level of gifted education is based on:

1. performance in the GEP from Primary 4 to 6, including a pass in Social Studies
2. attitude towards work and the enrichment programme
3. performance at the PSLE

3 kids likely from different school are grouped together for the interview.

So 3 go in together for the interview ?

Tks for the update NJmom. Agree that this DSA thing is definitely a good experience for the girls where they have to work for something that they want.


Hope DD will receive her notice for interview from NYGH soon. Then we can close DSA chapter.

NJmom:

Trexb and Kloggy,

Yes, DD is from GE. Interview is this Thursday. My hubby got the call notification yesterday and we had the email today. Thks for the tips.

Apparently, only 1 other of DD's classmate has been also called up for interview. Also less than 80% for SA1. Maybe NYGHs and RGS has some form of understanding and arrangement between themselves. RGS calls up the >80% GE first...and NYGHs the reverse....

Gd luck to all... it will be a good experience for the girls. :lovesite:

This SS SA is very irritating to me. They placed it the same wk as psle oral - it is on 16 aug, while psle oral is on 18/19 aug. Dunno what the GE branch is doing. Since psle is earlier this year, should't they do SS earlier instead of putting them in e same week?

Hi ..I am feeling pretty frustrating as till now my ds is still busy with SS assignment plus revision work and doing past yrs paper given by the teachers...No time for self revision yet...Wonder your gep kids also like tt

What about IDP? Can consider the interest driven project done at P5 if your child is keen in science

But then I don't think IDP is impressive enough... Maybe to be safe just do SS Portfolio or English ERP Assignments.

What are the ERP Assignments like? My ds IDP is also a simple one, I am also afraid 难登大雅之堂。 At first he put his option as IVP but then was assigned to join and do RS. I always thot IVP is the most interesting and easier to impress.
