      But isn't that because one got 60 mins to do while the other is only 20 mins. Unless you are telling me that she still got time to check for the 20 min test while she left 5 Q undone for the 60 min one. :lol:

        Presenting ....
        The 7 Differences and 7 Similarities of NYGH GAT Vs RGS GAT ....

        Differences :
        1) NYGH 1 hr, RGS 20min
        2) NYGH Need to Bring Notification Letter, RGS No Need
        3) NYGH Random Seating, RGS Same Pri Sch in Same Row (Ha Ha ....)
        4) NYGH Weekend Morning, RGS Weekday afternoon (Ha Ha ....)
        5) NYGH Traffic Condition OK (Sat Morning -ma!), RGS Traffic Condition Terrible (Jam-Jam ALL the Way at Traffic Junction on Weekday Afternoon After Sch ....) :laugh: :laugh:
        6) NYGH Got Give Paper for Rough Working, RGS No Extra Paper given (Ha Ha ....)
        7) NYGH 2B Pencil / Rubber Provided, RGS Bring Your Own (Ha Ha ....)

        And the Similarities :
        1) NYGH, RGS - Must Wear Sch Uniform
        2) NYGH, RGS - Must Bring EZLink Card or other form of Identification
        3) NYGH, RGS - Test is Conducted in Air-Con Hall (Phew! What a Relief ....)
        4) NYGH, RGS - Swarmed with So Many Applicants (Ha Ha .... Obvious-ly)
        5) NYGH, RGS - Both GAT test is Pictorial, Non Verbal MCQ
        6) NYGH, RGS - Both GAT test got 60Q

        And the LAst Similarities ....
        May Get Some Parents Fuming ....
        Let Me Quick-ly Put it Down and :siam:
        7) NYGH, RGS - ALL 60Q for Both GAT test Paper is the SAME!
        You mean both schools had the exact same 60 questions but one paper was 60min, the other 20min? How interesting.

            Then I think your gal did v well for the 20 mins one . Were all gals who applied for both as lucky as yours having the same two session within a week? Is this GAT only for GEP ?

              I’m sure there will be some (or many?) parents who will protest about it and the most likely outcome would be that the school would take the first GAT test result.

                So which school did you gal took her GAT first? The other one she will be able to \"do\" very fast, and have more time to think of the difficult one she could not work on earlier, therefore benefited. ζ­ε–œζ­ε–œ

                Last time heard RI and HCI used to take the same GAT from civil service college, so if the kid apply both the other one automatically know (wonder how they knew) and email to the kid that they will take it from the other school. But this year, am hearing so many duplication.

                because you need to indicate what are the schools you DSA for when you sit for GAT, then they will send result to all schools you indicated in the test

                  It's not the same as last time already, \"verykiasu2010\". Now they require you to take GAT at all the schools. They don't share the results like previously. And RI/RGS different test done by their own school.

                    NYGH GAT and RGS GAT cannot be exactly the same lah. Maybe similar, but I cannot imagine how they can be the same since the administering agency for the test is different?

                      I was just quoting Funx3. I find it odd too that if the two papers were administered by different agencies they would be exactly the same questions. And very different time allocation too.
