DSA 2013

it is obvious that the schools will select the best. All above 80% can apply but probably the top 5% get it. Will try ds try for 2 schools, if can’t get in, will have to based on T-scores. Z

80% is to set a minimum scoreline. after that its the GAT performance, Tests Performance and Interview that matters.... -

If comparing only GEP, then that might be true, as GEP students will most likely form top 5% of the school anyway.
Students who are from GEP with average 80% and above will be exempted for GAT for RGS, NYGH and RI, if I remember correctly.Dreamgear:
Qualifying is 80% for academic. No mention of top 5% of level or whatever so where did that come from? Perception?
Top 5% of whole level is by past years observation by reading this threat.
If non-GEP, then my feel is that the top 5% might not be that true.....example being in NYPS top maybe 30 - 40% might be even be equal to top 10% of other schools....
Anyway no harm trying, my DS got 2 COs even with results at 80% marks.....

May I ask, what is CO?

:thankyou:GDragon:
For those \"top\" secondary schools (RGS, NYGH, NJC etc), what should be the range of marks a student should get if they choose to go through DSA through their academic results? What marks should they often be getting so they still \"got chance\"?
I would say above 85 average score and top 5% of whole level. -

Not necessarily. The top few schools may do that but others may cast their nets wider, knowing that the very top kids still prefer the top schools. -
For RGS, from DD experience they target the top 3% of Singapore P6 girls from an academic perspective. DSA academic slots are mostly taken by GEP kids. For sports DSA, your DD will need to be Nationally ranked top 3 or so with International and National tournament experience and fare well in those tournaments.

Oh… Another useful info…
For non DSA entry, last year’s RGS COP was 263. However, there were a few DDs who appealed successfully with 262 PSLE scores.
