      Anyone knows do we need to get testimonials from teachers? Or do they give?

      My DD's form teacher distributed a form to document achievements/certificates and personally wrote testimonials for all the students applying DSA. As all well deserving \"Kiasu-ians\", we also very thick skin requested the testimonial to be countersigned by the principal. :imanangel:

              No testimonial. It is school policy that no testimonial would be given. At least that's the case for my kids' school.
              Understandable. Imagine how many testimonials teachers would have to write every year during DSA application period.

                    I think this this is answered in the FAQ
                    \t
                    If I am successful in Direct School Admission - Secondary (DSA-Sec) Exercise but I am eligible to study in more than one course [e.g. Express / Normal (Academic)], can I select the course of my preference?
                    Successful DSA-Sec candidates who have obtained Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) aggregates which put them in the course option [the Express/Normal (Academic) or Normal (Academic)/ Normal (Technical)] are allowed to indicate their preferred course of study in the school allocated, provided that the school offers both courses.
