GEP Excellence Preparation

______________________________

P2 & P3 (2021)





 

 

The Gifted Education Programme (GEP) is aimed at preparing intellectually gifted youths for leadership in government service and top corporations. All Primary 3 students are eligible to participate in the two-stage selection process, but only the top one per cent of students are admitted into the highly competitive programme.

In accordance with the MOE's screening criteria, The Learning Lab's GEP Excellence programme provides specialist guidance on strategies and techniques to excel in the test components of English, Mathematics and General Ability.




 

 

Programme Highlights

 


Designed as a head start preparation module for the P3 GEP Screening Exercise which takes place in August each year, this P3 GEP Excellence programme exposes students to the test components for English, Maths and General Ability.

Teachers will guide students to master various methods of solving such questions so that they are able to face the GEP Selection Test with confidence.
