Hi, based on the DSA CO received from SST, it was stated that "With this Confirmed Offer, a place has been reserved for your child in the school. However, your child must still be eligible to attend a Posting Group 3 offered in our school based on their PSLE score.".


Am I right that the PSLE score for Posting Group 3 is AL4 - 20?

Does anyone know what is SST DSA acceptance rate?

Based on what previous years’ parents have shared, WL in SST has extremely good chance of conversion. That’s because many CO holders (traditionally) are half-hearted on taking up their CO.[/quote]

Why would they be half-hearted on accepting the CO? How many places are there each year?

They could be those who excel in Math & Science but also applied to (and have secured CO from) IP schools or NUS High, which offer guaranteed 6-year thru-train program.

During last year's open house, it was shared as 10 - 11.

But I saw in the e-open house from their youtube video saying they can accept students with PSLE result between AL4 to AL20.

That is provided,
there are still vacancies left,
after converting all the Waitlists, into COs.

Why ?

Because


SST definitely have to give priority to their students on Wait-lists first, before

accepting any more new student, who entered post PSLE results released date.
If no vacancy left, how to admit in these new group of students, post PSLE results released date ?

Even for the students not taking part in the DSA trial? I thought they only accept students via DSA trial.

Up to AL 20 -
is meant for those who are given DSA (CO or Waitlists converted).

If you entered by post PSLE results released announcement date, nothing to do with DSA,

then of course
must get a better grade, cannot be AL 20 at the exact Cut off point, for Express stream.

Nothing has been changed.
It followed back the same identical manner, as the past PSLE Tscore.
That is -

All past DSA students who have applied for SST, if they have been offered SST DSA (CO or Waitlist) can enter SST at past years' lowest Tscore 200, the Cut off point for Express stream. But if you were to use your actual PSLE results to apply, not entered by DSA anymore, then of course is a different story. You cannot enter SST, with a low Tscore at 200, which happen to be the Cut off point for Express stream last time, under the old Tscore system.

Last time, for Non-DSA applicants -

minimum 240 was required, after Psle results were released in Nov. Definitely, cannot go into SST, with just Tscore 200.
So, if were to map this 240 Tscore back to AL score, how many do u reckon, this ... AL score is ?

I will make it a smart guess at about AL11/12.
