DSA 2017
-
I agree this will be good for parents, but I think the schools will need the domain tests to do one round of selection, otherwise it will be too much for them to interview all. Somehow, I really appreciate how HCI conducted their selection, at least for the domain my DS applied for. Two rounds of interview in one morning, and it’s waiting time all the way till end Aug for the results.

Latest DSA News
Listed below are the details on the DSA Exercise for Admission into Seconday 1 2018 for some of the more popular schools.
Raffles Girls' School and Raffles Institution
Both schools have decided to do away with the GAT this year (2017). For those applying under the academic domain, selection for interviews will be based on portfolio and academic results of the students. All students selected will have to go through an interview and only a selected few will have to attend selection tests based on the domain applied for. For those applying under the sports and music domains, trials and auditions will still remain and interviews will also be conducted for these students.
Singapore Chinese Girls' School
SCGS has decided to do away with the GAT this year (2017). For students applying under CCA and music domains, there will be trains/auditions and an interview. For students applying under the academic domain, there will be a written subject test and an interview. For students applying under leadership, an interview and a testimonial from the Primary School will be required.
Methodist Girls' School
For students applying for admission to IP track, there will be a HAST test. For students applying under CCA, drama or music domains (under O level track), there will be trains/auditions. All selected students will have to go for an interview. As for now, there is no information on students applying under the academic domai (O level track).

Hi Myteapot, Do you mean HCi won't have paper test as 2nd round? Did you call and confirm with school? -
Ansa:
No clue at all??What are the chances for those who attended the interview but not called for half day program at RGS? Any idea?

Hi Ansa and Honeywell, can i know your dd from MS or GEP?
My dd is from MS and at least 4 of her classmates(after interview) are also selected for HDP, just wondering are there any GEP going for HDP. Or GEP can skip HDP?? -
There are GEP called up to attend HDP. I’m also wondering what’s the criteria to attend the HDP…
