I am quite confused about Bicep too. Does the existing P3 students selected for gep also sits for the bicep selection test on the 12 nov? Or wait till dec tog with the other gep students?


The top 15% selected exclude or include those selected gep students?

From my understanding, the top 15% includes the GEP students. So we have the following groups:
(1) GEP students not doing BiCep, they will be under GEP programme
(2) GEP students which are selected for BiCep, they will be under GEP BiCep programme
(3) Students not selected under GEP, but selected for BiCep, they will be under Mainstream Bicep programme
(4) Mainstream programme for all other students

But my questions are what is the selection test for BiCep about? ANy parents who kids have taken the paper in previous years?

I have asked the teacher. Bicep selection test for mainstream is a paper to be done plus interview. Bicep selection test for gep is only a paper to be done

Hi, ds has just been selected for gep. As dh and I have very little info about gep esp in tao nan (as that would be our first choice of sch), could any kind soul give us some advice on Tao Nan's GEP program pls? For eg, how many days in a week do they have to stay back for extra/enrichment classes? School workload/projects etc.


With regard to Bicep, does he have to go thru test/interview to be selected? For GEP bicep classes, are they held during curriculum hours or do they have to stay back after school?

Any advice will be much appreciated. Thanks very much!

Check yr pm

Do bicep students take thr same tests n exams as the non bicep.students?
Also are the selection process based on interview or is a paper to be done? Appreciate advice as I need to submit the form by this friday...TIA

Wow, so much excitement here

To the rising p4 geppers, have fun, enjoy the journey, don't get too worked up over grades, and in the hols, LEARN TO TYPE!

Why the need to learn to type? So is a notebook or computer a necessity also? Currently we have only be using notebook supplied by office (when the rare need arises)

Hi mandm,


I myself is not clear about the GEP programme in TNS too. Trying to check it out also.
