Hey guys! I went for RI Interview and whew it was fun. Some of questions asked were:

Why do you want to join RI?
What is the most important value to you?
What is the most fun thing you've even done?
And the best question:
What is the biggest lie you ever told?

Interviewer liked to oppose everything we(groups of 3) said. Be prepared because they want to see how you can react to unforeseen instances.

Wish me luck on getting a CO from Raffles.
:imcool: :rahrah:

Did RI teachers remind you not to communicate with others about the interview questions? All of the interviewees were told not to do so. Or are you the last batch?

To cut a long story short, the best advice is to find the best student-sch match.

SST focused a lot on STEM. For ACSI (I'll assume it's ACSI here) it's IB which requires strong writing, presentation and critical thinking skills.

Most SST grads go on to JC to take A level while ACSI students take a 6 yr IB prg. With its unique uniform, SST students are easy to spot and they were well behaved whenever I see them in public. ACS boys exude an air of confidence (I feel that all boys should be like that) and traditionally do v well in the IB.

The sch are quite different in focus and it shouldn't be too difficult to decide on the one that best matches your ds' interest - interest being the keyword here, not branding nor prestige. All the best.

Hi Santhana, you mean 2 hours camp at SST or the formal kind of interview? :?
