      windows - Don't think the the specific information is made public though usually 50% of the total places are allocated for all DSA applicants if i am not wrong. There is no HAST for HCI, only tests for the 3 subjects plus interview. Applicants may be exempted from taking some of the tests if they fall within a certain category, eg. SMOPS platinum, gold and silver medalists are exempted from taking the Math test.

      Thank you. The three tests are on the same day?

        yes, all the tests plus interview are conducted within the same day. It will last from early morning till early afternoon if one has no exemption granted.

            I checked with the school 2 years ago and they told me that they have shortlisting process. It should still be the same but you may wish to check with them?

                For round 2, confirm there's a shortlisting process. Only those who are shortlisted need to pay f d dsa fee, unlike many other schools. Base on last year, it seemed that those shortlisted were of av 90 marks n above from mainstream. Knew some 80 plus ones were not shortlisted. The casualty rate is high as the total intake f DSA is around 200 ( should be lesser this yr) or 50 percent of total intake. However, boys I knew who didn't make it through DSA all entered later via PSLE. All the Best!

                  Anyone know whether HCI has sent out email for the shortlist for test or interview for this year DSA?

                    Haven't received the e-mail from HCI too, eagerly waiting. By Monday, it seems. :roll:
