Boy girl ratio is between 1:2 to 1:3, not 6:4

sautille:

These are the figures I took down during the briefing for 2009 batch (the Dragon Year kids):
P3 cohort : 48000
Shortlisted for Round 2 : 4000
Offered to do GEP : 566 (214 girls, 352 boys)
Also recalled MOE mentioned that some 86% of GEP students were successful in DSA and 93% were admitted to IP schools. I don't know if the DSA/IP School admission figures were average or specific for a particular year though.

Ngbrdad- I was referring to above stats B:G 352:214 so approx 6:4 or 3:2. Perhaps your data is more updated :scratchhead: Thanks for correction.

How the GEP test for 2nd round yesterday ? My younger DS said quite tough, not really prepared for such tough questions, so quite shock when he 1st saw the questions .... spent quite some time to think, so can't finished the whole paper ... he was told it's P4 standard for EL .... going for Maths today .... which he said got more confidence ... elder DS had taught him several Maths questions which he had encountered during his 2nd round 3 years ago, some very tricky .... got to be careful

Hi Funx3, thanks. I guess DD was lucky n the little things we did to prepare for DSA helped. I helped her to spot questions for the interview n I believe one of them was crucial in helping her secure a spot. Why does this sound like cheating? :oops: Would gladly help if anyone is interested in the details.

Hi MummySTay, I've just PMed you. Thks!
