GEP Round 1 Exam Live Review & Key Problem Insights from Tr. Boqian
      
After students completed Round 1 of the GEP Round 1, Tr. Boqian hosted a YouTube live session today from 6:30–7:30 PM, providing both students and parents with an engaging exam question analysis. The session helped both parties quickly review the GEP exam, identify gaps, and master core problem-solving strategies. This live session also perfectly echoed the previous “prediction questions” and “check-in activities.”
      

     
   
1. Live Recap & Key Questions
Tr. Boqian went through the key questions of GEP Round 1 by analyzing key and challenging problems, from logical reasoning to math application questions, guiding students step by step.
      

     
Students actively participated through the chat comments, answering questions and courageously raising their own doubts. Tr. Boqian patiently addressed these and expanded the discussion, making the interactive segment highly insightful.
   


During the live session, Tr. Boqian guided everyone step by step through several problems with multiple thinking points. The children realized that as long as they grasped the key requirements in the question and broke them down into smaller steps, they could find a breakthrough in solving the problem more quickly.

Overall, this round of the exam was of moderate in terms of difficulty. The questions did not simply aim for complexity but rather focused on shifts in thinking and understanding conditions. As long as children pay attention to common pitfalls during review and continue to strengthen their practice in subsequent training, they will be able to further improve their performance.

        

During the live session, the teacher focused on analyzing several real exam questions:

   

      
According to Teacher Boqian’s experience, in order to successfully advance to Round 2, children should score 33 points or above. The results for Round 1 are expected to be announced in early October, while Round 2 exams will take place from October 14 to 15. Preparation during this period is crucial, and both parents and students can plan their study and practice effectively based on the teacher’s guidance.


In the GEP Round 2 exam, question types will not only continue the focus areas from Round 1 but will also show breakthroughs in depth and breadth. For example, in geometry, problem will appear at a more advanced level like area and perimeter, requiring children to have stronger comprehensive understanding and application skills. At the same time, new formats may also appear in explanatory questions, which demands that students not only have accurate problem-solving strategies but also can clearly articulate their reasoning process.





  
The session maintained a focused yet relaxed atmosphere. Through watching explanations + chat interactions + teacher walkthroughs, students not only reviewed exam questions but also acquired new problem-solving methods and test-taking strategies.
