it is not important to know everything

but it is very important to know what we do not know and where to find the answers.

I’ve got a friend who’s quite good at that. His name is Google, you should meet him sometimes.

I sometimes wonder if things will be much better for him if he was in a family with PhD parents instead. At least they can help to answer his many pressing questions alot better perhaps?

Thanks for sharing the Netflix link, I’ve just watched it, and really liked it for the life lessons that it taught. Felik Zemdegs’ parents should be proud of the son they’ve raised for the strong positive values that he has. It’s a good show 👍🏻

My son prefers to do his home assessment/workbooks once or twice a week on weekends during the school term, then ramp up to include a few weekdays as well during his school holidays 😉 This is his sort of enjoyment 😅

i can cube - wanted to introduce cubing to my kid but he/they never really want to learn.

Very randomly, I played this show after dinner last night.

thanks man

books are never enough at home...scattered around the house. hahahah its quite messy actually.


maybe some of you will have similar experiences:
Every morning, the first thing I see my boy doing before sending him to school is:
reading at the sofa.
(our helper will wake him up 20 mins before I wake up so that he can change and eat his breakfast)

It's a similar daily situation in our house as well, except for the helper part since we don't have one. 😅 My kid reads from \"dawn till dusk\", especially on weekends/PHs/school-holidays, until I nag at him to wash up and go to bed. 🙄 And we have to order new books regularly since our public libraries can't seem to support his reading needs, which is kind of disappointing. 😏

As for testing, I did consider sending him for WISC-V before he turned 6, but gave up on that idea after reading up about MOE's rules and requirements, and how rigid they seemed to be. I decided to re-channel that ~1-2+K of testing fees to support his passion (books, etc.) instead. 😋
BTW, I received the set of books that I mentioned were meant for the UK's 11+ exams, and my son is quite hyped up about trying them out after browing thru them. Such a geek! 😅

U're welcome skii. I think I'm sort of trying to help my child to fill his English gaps if I can, but definitely not with the prep classes because I don't believe in prep classes for GEP as well.
It's just that we've or rather, I've been waiting for him to be able to sit for the GEP for some time, especially since I think the curriculum style will really suit him well.
Just to share abit, my child has always been an advance learner (in the academic sense, because he falls short in the physical/athletic aspect due to asynchrony) and he's a true geek. 😅 He s to read and has taught himself to speed read as well, because my hubs and I have absolutely no idea how to do it. He taught himself to read when he was 2+ by sounding out the words; reads both fiction and non-fiction, although his 1st love is the latter for sure. He enjoys counting, numbers and letters even before he could speak and still s them very much till this day. He finds mainstream primary curriculum plain and boring, and so even though he has no knowledge of what GEP is (not yet), I know he will enjoy himself when he gets there. I have read up about the GEP ever since he was about 2-3 year old, so it has been a pretty long wait for us. At home, I have always supplemented him with higher level math books since he enjoys doing assessment books (I know this sounds weird, but I'm not kidding 😅). He's in charge of selecting the assessment or workbooks for himself since he was about 3 years old, especially the ones that we buy locally from Popular. I only let him do what he enjoys and if he doesn't, I get him to take a break, and look at it again another time when he wants to. He didn't attend childcare or preschool before going to primary school, because he enjoys learning ahead and on his own, so I don't teach him as well, just supported him with meals, snacks and books. The only reason why we let him start primary school instead of homeschooling is because he enjoys the company of other kids, and also to be eligible for GEP in P3. Sorry for the lengthy post. I have bottled up quite abit. 😅🤭

I remember coming across a post on this thread/forum that provided a link to a blog, where a parent shared about the test format for English, Math and GA. I can't remember which page this particular post was on, but I do recall reading about longer passages for Comprehension, Cloze passages and also Vocabulary MCQs for English; Math consisted of MCQs and short-answer type of questions, and GA included non-verbal or logic-related sort of questions. Unfortunately, that's the gist of what I can recall from reading the blog post, since I didn't save the link to the blog post. 😅
So based on what I \"deciphered\" after reading it, I went online to search for books or related info, and I came across a series of offical UK exams known as the \"11+ exams\". IMO, I think our local GEP is likely modelled after this series based on the description of the 11+ exams,

\"The examination tests a student's ability to solve problems using a test of verbal reasoning and non-verbal reasoning, with most tests now also offering papers in mathematics and English. The intention was that the eleven-plus should be a general test for intelligence similar to an IQ test, but with the addition of testing for taught curriculum skills. The test now measures aptitude for school work.\"

Source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleven-plus

My child will also be sitting for the screening test this time next year, so I was curious about what to expect. 😋 And based on the 11+ exams, I managed to find various series of practice books published for the UK students on BookDepository.com, 1 of those series I came across is called \"Letts 11+\".
So if u are curious, u can have a look at them there. Alternatively, I will usually view the books' contents (limited) on Amazon, since they do sometimes provide a couple of pages for preview. At the end of the day, this is just my POV. So it's fine if u don't agree with any of it. 👌😊
