Just to add regarding DSA, my dd DSA too and personally I do not think it is time consuming and tedious.
My dd DSA through academic too & so did most of her classmates in her class, found the DSA success rate very high among her peers( they are main streamers). Anyway, we did not spent much time preparing her personal profolio, we just print out her results for p5 and p6 from her report book and whatever certificates n awards she gathered from p1-p6. She had to wrote an essay though to tell why she had chosen the school & we didn't specifically prepared the DSA assessment, we just continue with our routine psle preparation.
Dd managed to clear the assessments I supposed which was about 4 hours in which she was tested on her language and Maths skill n of course the so call GAT, she was called back for an interview and her dad help her to research abit on the school history n rehearse what she might be asked and the technically accepted answer ....
Looking back, I wouldn't say it took away much of her revision time but waiting for the letter of offer indeed gave us a few extra day of stress as our letter was delayed. Nevertheless I would recommend parents to DSA their kids if their kids result have been consistant around 80%, as personally, we should not just depend on a high stake national exam and if our kid can pass the selection then they should benefit well from the school of choice ....
The success in DSA in our case did eliminate the stress of fearing the unknown in psle exam and worry on freak result, it enable dd to focus to perform her personal best which she did and we are proud of the outcome.
By sharing, hope that parents will not be put off by the DSA process and support your child to gain entry to their dream school.
Good luck, a happy new year and all the best to a great psle journey with your child.

I think the bottom line is to try for 1 or 2 dream school but not more.
It may be stressful for some children to do interviews. ds for sure, as he does like to talk to strangers.
