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.

One more qn: is there a shortlisting before the tests and interview or all who apply will be required to do the tests? TIA

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? -
Thanks all for the reply

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!windows:

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:
