I note DHS will release result on 12 Sep while NJC on 15 Sep. It seems very late. Is it because the schools want to wait for prelim results? But the prelim papers can be very different from school to school….

I think both websites say \"by\" XX Sept? I.e. the final result could come earlier. I don't think schools are waiting to see how prelims go. As you mention, papers could be set differently and actual PSLE results could be higher or lower. Based on P5 SA2/Overall and P6 SA1 the schools should have a decent idea of how the kids will manage themselves in Secondary school. Portfolios + selection tests/interviews should give them the domain specific info they need.

Good luck to your child and hope he/she gets the preferred school/domain :rahrah: .

I think 12th sep is the latest date that the school will release the results. That is the date on the m o e website.

Not to flog this point but MOE says that all results will be out by 12 September, which means that it can come earlier but not later.

I also agree with the others that the student's prelim results are unlikely to have any bearing on the DSA application. The schools have already got a fair assessment of the student's academic capabilities from his/her P5 and P6 SA1 performance. So, the deadline is more to give the schools the time to sieve through the many applications and decide which students to grant DSAs too.

I believe that there's a lot of work which goes into this, especially for the more popular schools which receive countless applications each year (some are still running interviews at this stage). So, in all fairness, giving them till mid-September seems fair.

For the moment, it's a waiting game but it's nice to know that many others are also in the same boat

Congratulations! Out of curiosity and also for my next kids in few years from now, can you share a brief of your kid’s profile? I’m not able to gauge what NJC is looking for from STEAM DSA candidates.
