2009 GEP Screening And Selection

[kiasimom]

Augmum:

hi kiasimom, yes, the letter was only a computer-generated printout but i remembered very clearly there was percentile given during my gal's yr.

during her yr, the selected participants was said to be ard 3000 out of ard 50000 total participants, so it worked out to be ard top 6%.
knowing yr child being the top few percent of the whole cohort is already :celebrate: so parents need not to be too disppointed if not selected.

me still the same saying, take it if it comes, forget it if it doesn't.

Oh yes, if my DS doesn't make it, then he just needs to concentrate on his PSLE

KSP, the picture of that BIG YELLOW ENVELOPE is hilarious. :lol: Can't get over it.


I think i may have a glimpse of it while sitting on my sofa. My neighour's son just came back from his school and in his hands was that PRIZED YELLOW ENVELOPE.

No wonder, he was holding it in his hands (and not putting it in his bag), despite having to walk in the rain , back from his school, which was a stone's throw away from home.

Oh yes, must hold it close to his body and I think he wants to give it to his parents the moment he steps in to his house

No matter what the result is, I am glad that we all connected and had fun together. Keep going....more news coming??

I concur. It was fun while it lasted. I guess my dd will get her white printout tomorrow as she didn't rec any news today.

If my son gets anything, he might even forget to bring it home.

There are parents who send their kids to some kind of tuition centres which claim they can prepare the kids for GEP entry tests. I wonder how is it conducted? By doing what kind of questions? Since there is strictly no leakage of GEP selection papers.

I guess they are conducted by ex-GEP teachers. Although they don't know the answer or question, they should be teaching according to the syllabus,
However, there is NO GUARANTEE your child get into GEP by enrolling in all those expensive GEP course :moneyflies:
