noticed that APMOPS platinum and gold holders are exempted from GAT.....not so for Hwa Chong .... any idea why the disparity ?

They are different schools and have different decision makers regarding DSA process, they did not consult each other, hence the difference in requirements and process.

BUT their students all converge at HCI year 5. That is why the disparity in unfair. By the way, the share the student pool for those SMBO top scorers, and SMBO is organised by NYGH, feeding students to HCI as well. They are certainly \"co-ordinated\"

I don’t think it is unfair. But if you feel so, you may feel the same way when you know that even though the students converge in Year 5, their school syllabus in Year 1 to 4 in NYGH and HCI are not identical, not to mention many other different school activities.

if they present themselves as the same family of schools, then they should be consistent in their requirement, just like other boy / girl schools that present themselves as a same family of schools

May be originally they are not a family; that’s why the 2 schools seem to run separately. when we attended the NYGH open house, I asked the girls whether they can swim in hwa chong swimming pool and they gave me a "blank look" and said no. dunno if there’s any communication bet nygh and hci on their first 4 yrs; hopefully the girls can integrate well when they move over in yr 5.

i doubt they can

was thinking about this question too ......

For HCI DSA, students need to take many tests ! those with SMOPS platinum/gold/silver can be exempted from maths test but must take chinese, english, GAT + interview. those SMBO top 30 must take maths, GAT + interview but exempted fr english and chinese. luckily, NYGH DSA is much simpler... :lol: -- i've got DD. btw, GEPers only has reflection and response task - what's that ?? and no interview ??

[wondermama]

anyone heard any news from dsa nygh? so far only receive a receipt for paying the GAT and administration

[ningy]

Guess there’ll be more "action" aft the GAT (10, 24 july) for the main streamers; may be the shortlisted (based on GAT results) will then be invited for the interview - i suppose end july or early aug since 19 aug will be PSLE oral already. wonder if the GEPers are already in the interview phase ?? dunno if anyone knows the no. of places "left" for the main streamers for NYGH DSA (since the RI DSA allocation is well known) ?
