I am aware there's no more DSA academic (that is look at 4 subjects overall) but there's a new provision known as 'special academic talent', that is, to consider the best academic subject?

I see.
Impression gathered from chatgroup was there will only be non-academic dsa, no more academic domain. All of us were so surprised.
So it was not true huh? 虚惊一场

Yup no more academic domain. Cos if academic can use PSLE scores is the reasoning behind it.

If applying via CCA leadership, does it mean must stick to the same CCA if DSA is successful?

You may have to check with the respective schools directly

Am I right to say RGS used to have DSA academic (overall result) but after the new changes kick in, it is now 'choose the best subject'.

Like SCGS, the school now calls it 'special academic talent', also based on one best subject only.

So I guess all these changes are something new to be aligned to MOE's direction of \"no DSA general academic\".
