My DD did not participate in National Chinese Challenge, SMBO, no ICAS Certificates. I used her Interschool competitions, school's results & leadership to try out. To add, no fantastic competitions certificates.

i think the general direction is DSA to account for 20% for 'O' Levels, and higher for IP. Competition in top secondary schools has gotten rather silly in recent years, where around 50% got in via DSA, mostly via academic, which defeats the original aim of DSA. There were also complaints that GEP students got free passes into top schools, although some were not really any better than main stream students. Let's hope this year heralds a more reasonable DSA process.

DSA via general academics is still there, so not sure how reasonable it can be this year...

No more general academics this year.

Oh that's goodno written test!

Yes! :xedfingers:
At least still get shortlisted for interview already very happy for my DD. Don't expect her to get any offer (unless she's really tat good)..but I'm just happy she can get through interview experience in this top school. I'm not sure though is it all applicants get the chance to interview or NYGH really vet through all applicants' achievement before shortlisted for interview? Any parents know?

if you go online, u will see the status is \"shortlisted for interview\"... hehe
How long is your interview? I think there may be a short test....
