2009 GEP Screening And Selection
-
Hi anybody know how long is the duration for the gep exam paper should be given
ie. stated on the paper is 1 hour 30 min but it end at 1 hour 15 min -
Oh it is because they divided it into Part 1 and 2 and they have different times. But it is quite puzzling as they divide the 2 parts into different sections again. Hope this helps. I am a student who got thru the first round too.

Is the English paper easy or the Math?

Do you recall any Maths qns? -
I feel that what is 'easy' or 'difficult' is subjective.
If the child is good in English but so-so in Maths, like my kid, she'll find English easy while Maths is hard.
If the child likes Maths and is not as passionate about English, he will think Maths is easier.
My kid didn't even tell me they showed examples of how the questions are like.
I don't think the boy who's doing P6 Maths was deliberately trained. He had just advanced beyond his level and his mother taught him higher level Maths to 'unbore' him. I knew of a boy who had finished learning P4 Maths at P3 at his own time and went into GEP.
I'm not going to expect 263 from my kid. I don't know what kids who get this kind of points eat to have this kind of results. 250 is the lowest cut-off she needs to get for her dream school, so I hope she will be able to meet that.
I find it so funny that there's a stir of excitement among parents when a supposedly P3 child entered the thread. This child must be really 'supersmart' and supersavvy in forums or smses, judging from the shortforms he or she uses. -
KSP:
I think for students who are eyeing NUS for their university education, then NUSH is a good choice as it is the ONLY high school in Singapore which has affiliation to NUS. Gifted NUSH students can take NUS modules in most of the faculties (not just Science faculty), and they have the opportunities to try the various modules before they enter NUS. Advantages - there is less risk of landing in wrong course in NUS, faster track if they are taking double degrees since they would have taken some modules during the NUSH timeIf my child has a choice, I would suggest this.
1st choice: RGS/RI
2nd choice: HCI/NYGH
3rd choice: NUSH

Gifted students with high talents in a specific subject may be able to be exempted from NUS High School modules and accelerate to take up NUS courses and modules from various faculties (Not limited to the above mentioned faculties). -
My boy told me the following question came out. Think it’s the same question as last year question.
1 cat can catch 2 mice in 3 days.How many cats are needed to catch 100 mice in 30 days ?
