Just being a busybody - how many qualified for GEP and META this year?[/quote]


On average it’s abt 10 from each HA classes… so abt 40+ GE kids from NY alone & abt 80 META kids.[/quote]
From MTP yesterday…
167 passed round 1
41 qualified for GEP
70 for META

Mrs Lee also shared that the reduction of GEP classes was due to lower birth rate.[/quote]


Heard nyps has reduced GEP classes to 3 instead of 4, are they going to increase the META class from 2 to 3 for year 2017?

Is there any difference whether is in HA or no HA class? While I read that is the top 160 students from the cohort, what is the min score base on past years P2 results?

Hi lovinglife,


What is bridging class? :scratchhead:

I heard from my friends the bridging classes for those whom the teachers find that they are lacking in certain subjects. Heard there are English and Mandarin reading bridging classes.
