My son has been called by RI for Half day selection test on coming Saturday- 24 July. He applied for Mother Tongue - Chinese domain.


Can anyone say what kind of questions / test paper to expect?

Is it MCQ or composition writing? Is there any Oral?

I specifically request students like Ruyu, Almighty and others who have attended the RI Half-day selection test to give at least a few words of guidance.

My boy and I will be most grateful. You can also PM me if you want.

Thanks to all of you.

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.

They are popular schools, so they try to make dates and times clash so that less pupils attend. I don't think they like marking hundreds of DSA scripts. Besides, if the your case is that RI/RGS and NUS High clash, to put it bluntly, it's your fault.

As you are child , I will not be entertaining your immature rebuttal. You need time to grow up and be enlightened.

You ought to have thought of this sooner, applied to RI/RGS earlier, taken an earlier GAT, so if selected the camp would be on 10th July. That's all.

I just ask if all emails for 2nd round are out, did not ask specifically which domain, but they mentioned that they are going through all those not selected during the past gat test.

Hi, new to this forum though I have got help from all your valuable posts many times in the past My DS applied for DSA in RI and got Jul 9 for his GAT. Then, he promptly fractured his right hand on Jul 1 Asked for a later date from RI and he was assigned Jul 16. SInce his right hand is in a cast from armpit to thumb, he had to do the shading with his left hand. Was very frustrated, but got the happy news today that he has been shortlisted for the half-day selection test on July 24. He has applied under the Maths DOmain. ANyone can help with what exactly will they be testing him on ? Time is 2.30pm- 4.35pm. SHould he be expecting Olympiad type of questions? Will there be enough time unlike the GAT where they had to complete sixty questions in twenty minutes !! As his writing hand is still out of action, we are just a wee bit anxious about how speedily he can write with his left Thanks in Advance
