What are the cut-off. Every heard #3 is 250. True?
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 -
Hi zann,
Ss assignment is Ss portfolio… I think can do a bit earlier la but got thing to do to finish and hand up first plus DSA interview to attend …so …
For p5 Ss assignment/portfolio … Think the teacher will arrange them to do some during school hour so tt he can guide them along … So hard to rush them to do the portfolio also plus definitely there are other more urgent homework to do lor … -
Zann:
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.[/quote]Not to be overly-worried about which project to bring along for the interview. For my son's interview last year, they did not ask any questions about the project that he brought along.
But then I don't think IDP is impressive enough... Maybe to be safe just do SS Portfolio or English ERP Assignments.Randomnity:

What about IDP? Can consider the interest driven project done at P5 if your child is keen in science -
Let your child decide on what he wants to bring- something he has confidence and passion in so that should the interviewer ask any questions on it, he can impress them with his answers.

Thanks for e advice. So do u have any other advice for e kids? -
Last year my son brought his P5 SS portfolio to RI interview. It turned out that none of the 3 boys at the interview was asked any questions about their projects.
Son shared that the interview questions were not tough but you must listen carefully. Do be aware of obvious like RI colors and motto to show you are interested in the school. -

What I gather from a parent's briefing at the beginning of the year was :

2. attitude towards work and the enrichment programme
3. performance at the PSLE
1. Pass in social studies means overall for P6 at least 70% -- this includes SS portfolio (20%), FPS project (20%), CT (20%), End-of-year exam(40%)
3. PSLE performance above 250. If below, then the teachers and GE branch discuss whether can promote as GE status.
I understand promoted as GE status gets you that EESIS scholarship. But suppose get into IP program via DSA and yet PSLE < 250, do the child still continue in the SBGE classes in the secondary school ? Anyone knows ? -

The ones I know who eventually scored low 250 or under didn't manage to get a DSA CO and obviously couldn't get into the IP programmes based on PSLE scores either. So the schools do have their ways of weaning out the weaker GEP students. -
Huh psle result must above 250???.. I never heard of it …
