The finest analogy for the Basic Ability The review is that it’s quite identical to an IQ test, where students have to learn
the patterns and solve non-standard puzzles that don’t fall smartly under
quality English or Mathematics.
So, here’s how you can get ready before going
for the GEP test.
Practice Maths Olympiad
questions
The Screening Exercise queries have, so far, been identical in scope and intricacy with Maths Olympiad queries. The only thing to note down is to prevent yourselves from the queries that don’t go over the P1-P3 syllabus.
Parents should look for such queries online
for their children to practice. This will reveal them to a diversity of ideas
that they might not have known before and ready them for the multitude of ways
queries can be given. This intimacy will help enhance their conviction during
the test, which is important as they’ll be working by the pre-set timer.
Gifted Education Program tests aside,
practicing such queries will also position them in a good place for their
future primary learning journey.
Learn words from P4-P5
vocabulary books
Go through the Primary English section of any assessment book store and you’ll
get enough of vocabulary guides for all levels. Students ought to pick the P4
or higher-level books and grasp as many words as possible.
This will aid them in the English Language and
Basic Ability Elements of the Gifted Education Program Screening Test. For the
English Language Paper, having a massive vocabulary will rightly translate into
better success for the Vocabulary MCQ segment. For the Basic Ability Paper,
learning more words is essential in answering the verbal or language type of
Basic Ability queries.
Fulfill the Vocabulary and
Cloze segments of the English Language Paper first, and address the exercise
segment later
In terms of time spent and marks received, the
exercise segment needs the most time per mark. So, it makes sense to grasp the
low-hanging fruit and conclude the Vocabulary and Cloze segments first, which
needs less time per given mark.
If the student were to conclude the exercise
section first and run out of time, they would be abandoning many marks by
cutting the Vocabulary and Cloze segments unfinished, which takes comparatively
less time to conclude than the exercise part. For students who have
complications concluding the paper, this time-management tactics could enhance
scores by at least 10%-15%.
Don’t allocate more than 5
minutes for an MCQ question
Students are not penalized for incorrect answers,
and some MCQ queries can be rather cunning. Each MCQ must not take up more than
5 minutes of the total time.
If a student is not sure, they can circle the
question, then come up with a guess and tick the optical answer sheet (OAS)
first. If time allows, they can come back to the question later to deal with
it. If a student is fighting with an MCQ, the simple method is to unambiguously
substitute each option into the query and review if the equations work out.
This, however, is a delayed tactic and can only be utilized as a last option.
Students must never leave an MCQ unattended
for any reason, even if they are unsure about the answer. If they attend an
answer on the OAS, they will at least gain an opportunity of scoring that mark,
but if they do not attend the answer, they will get nothing from it.
