Sori for late reply, weekends are a terror! No time to go online.


NUSH Campl on 24th Jul 7am - 2.30pm
RI 2nd round - 2.30 - 4.10pm

No way to fly from Clementi to Bishan :roll:

DS went for RI GAT on 9th Jul. He will give me his answer by today as to which one to go.

May I know what is yr ds's decision? At least yr ds's RI 2nd round will start from 2.30pm. RGS's will starts from 8.30am. Difficult decision especially for those applied thru' science domain.

DS applied under Science.[/quote]


How was the test format? Any tips for my friend’s girl going for RGS Science selection test?

Thanks…

I went ahead to pay at NUSH anyway . Wanted to give him more time to decide . . . Dun want to rush for both as he will be quite burnt out.


Anyone out there decided which DSA to give up yet? :stupid:

My 2 cents worth:

If your kid is not from GEP, it's probably easier for him/her to get a DSA offer from NUSH than RI/RGS.

Having said that, which school does your dd/ds prefer? If his/her first choice is RI/RGS, then I say go for RI/RGS, because the PSLE cut off point for NUSH is lower than RI/RGS and it'll be easier to get in via PSLE results in the event he/she doesn't make it to RI/RGS via DSA.

I find it rather unsettling that the MOE does not intervene…this time clash is just not fair for the students nor their parents applying for DSA in these various schools.


Even to this stage when the students has proven that they good enough, they still are put in this very difficult position of having to make a choice. Sending the kids from NUSH and the to RI is crazy! The child will be totally depleted by then.

guess as parents we don’t hv much choice but to help our kids make the right choice.

Power Puff Mum to the rescue, in the DSA Townsville!

SIGH . . . only as parents can we understand our kiasuism But I assured my DS that mummy is already very proud that he can be in the 2nd round for both regardless whether he gets any DSA in the end.


An achievement for someone who plays Xbox, Maplestory, Gameboy, PSP . . . I was really touched when he said \"Mum, I think I really have a wonderful and fun childhood\" :love:
