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! -
Funx3:
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 ?
Your 1st Assumption is Correct ....Ashton:
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:
For the 2nd Scenerio, Really Need a Super-Gal to Achieve!
My Gal Not So Super -la!

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.

Otah:
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
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. 恭喜恭喜Funx3:

7) NYGH, RGS - ALL 60Q for Both GAT test Paper is the SAME!
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. -
verykiasu2010:
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?
You mean both schools had the exact same 60 questions but one paper was 60min, the other 20min? How interesting. -
phankao:
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.

i was reply to the question 'wonder how they knew' last time....haha -
phankao:
may be the questions all looked similar because they are all patterns / pictorial and non-verbal, as is the nature of GAT. but the test could still be different

eg sequence of patterns after doing 30 questions all looked similar, turn left turn right, how many dots top right corner, bottom right corner, left side etc etc.....see stars liao, especially for RI / RGS -- got to do 60 questions in 20 minutes -
quote: …Now they require you to take GAT at all the schools…
That’s one revenue-generating machine! I wrote earlier that in 2008 I was called up two days before RI GAT asking my ds1 not to go down to take the GAT as he had already taken at HCI. But then, they never refunded me and the $50 paid had gone to…?
