For this one, they teach you some sec 1 Science. Not tackling any school papers. Anything can be done to prepare, right?. End of the day, they don't promise you anything...

I took a look at their website. For DSA preparation course, they are only teaching Science?? Very unusual, leh, bc being tested on Science itself as a subject is not done by most sec schools under DSA except maybe NUSH & HCI? Even SST doesn't test Science but Eng/Math/Abstract.

Extract from their website:
The DSA class will expose students to secondary science syllabus in an attempt to broaden their knowledge of Science. Every set of 10 lessons will focus on a different Science (Physics, Chemistry and Biology). The practices done during the lessons will also train student’s reasoning and analytical skills which will aid them in various tests.

My DD1 came home & told us that RGS is inviting the girls in her class to a tea session. Seems like RGS is quite aggresive; wonder if they will talk abt DSA during the session and I guess many schools will receive this invitation too. But my DD1 not keen on RGS - she’s eyeing the other girl school but don’t know if NYGH is organising any tea session ??

Your daughter and her friends must have very strong qualifications to be invited for tea by RGS. Is it just for selected students only?
