DSA 2022

Sorry for my insensitivity and ignorance. For children with AL4-6, wouldn’t it better to use psle score instead of DSA? They might be able to enter a "better" school with psle result? Actually they can choose any school with that result

Hi 👋 Jelly, I think the PSLE exam stress level will go down tremendously when one has a CO DSA. Also AL4-6 not guaranteed during PSLE, a lot of uneventful things might happen. This DSA offers a really good headstart. :xedfingers:

For children with ACTUAL PSLE AL score of AL4 to AL6, they can choose any school with that result.

Unfortunately, as of now, no one knows what their ACTUAL PSLE AL will be. Children who are currently AL4 (4 x AL1) could drop to AL8 (4 x AL2) and AL6 may end up with AL10. As a result, they might end up with a 'lesser' school compared with what they wanted to secure via DSA.
That’s the fear of most people. -
Ah…I haven’t seen the correct use of the word “lesser” in a long, long time!
DS and I been having a good laugh at Science answer keys that keeping proclaiming lesser heat, lesser water vapour, lesser food… -

Many things can happen from now to the actual PSLE exam. The DSA gives some level of certainty which makes it easier for the child (and parent), especially if it's in area where the child has a passion or a keen interest.

I think the above summarizes what most people here think or feel?

As parents, our goal is to help alleviate as much stress as possible. DSA is a great way for us to achieve that.

Dsa in my opinion helps to look at school beyond academics , the process helps determine best fit ( hopefully) rather than going for the best school ( in terms of culture fit , peer group etc) . Also , I suppose dsa will help secure places in the right ccas and other enrichment activities available in the school related to the talent area so that it will be a rewarding experience during their next phase of life. That’s my rationale behind trying dsa for my kid in the stem areas , I specifically looked for culture fit and the advanced programs they offer in these areas
