Riding on fy2000jp2's sharing,
Here are some info for next year (SOTA DSA2023) parents
Day 2 audition and interviews (for 2nd artform) (23Jun2022). Kid say it was fun, but very solemn compared to Day 1 (Theater).
LITERARY ARTS shortlist interviews questions (23Jun2022) -
2 interviewers, 1 interviewee
Qs in no particular order
- What is your best experience related to LA
- What are the 3 things you want to improve on in SOTA
- What are the 3 things you want to learn in SOTA
- You have chosen 2 artforms, which do you prefer
Kid also report a girl was asked
- If you were a tree, what tree would you be ....
Heard from one of my students, who went for Music (Performing) or Music (Creating), that one of the questions asked was \"which fictional character best represents you\". -
FYI - supporting documents for Hwa Chong shortlisting (English Category)
- HCI DSA e-mail shunted into SPAM folder ! (unlike MOE-DSA e-mail)
- Need graded P6 h/w as supporting docs. Supporting docs requirements are made known AFTER start of June holidays === > Get docs BEFORE June holidays while teachers are still avail/in-country.
- Can use graded P5 h/w as supporting docs ===> Do NOT dispose of P5 h/w as child moves on to P6.

This morning at the RI DSA2022 academic selection exercise. Observation may be useful for future aspirants, indicative number of how many candidates for each academic subject (which may or may not be proportional to avail CO slots).
Number of Registration Counters open for:
- English =1

Observations at dismissal

- canteen (below exam hall) is reserved waiting-area for Math and Science candidates pick-up after dismissal (cater to parents overflow) -
Some info from the kid on the RI 2022 Academic-ENGLISH selection test format. Your mileage for DSA 2023+ might vary.
- 1.5hrs
- 1 Situational Writing exercise (similar to PSLE-style Q)
- 3 Comprehension exercises (2 similar to PSLE-style Q, 1 non-standard Q)
Kid says the comprehension exercises was challenging.
Kid also reports candidate seated behind him, a GEP student, moaned about the third comprehension passage.

- these are found in paper 2
- comprehension Qs on \"poems\"
- 6 \"poems,\" each with 6 Qs
- ie 36Qs in total for paper 2 (45mins)
I asked him if these poems are from the likes of Shakespeare, Blake, and Wordsworth; he said nope. He said these poems mentions \"sarong\" ! :shock:
Now I understand why the student behind him was moaning
