I stumbled upon this forum end of last year but this is my first entry


I think it used to be that as long as you meet the express stream cutoff of 200pts, any dsa offer remains. However, my daughter and a friend with a son in RI told me recently that there is now a requirement of 250 that they will still need to meet. In both instances, I heard about this requirement in relations to those under sports DSA. I am not sure if those under the academic domains are the same.

I know that during my daughter's year, some of the sports DSA girls came in with 210s-220s for their PSLE and struggled in their exams in Sec 1 and 2.That may be why some of the schools have this additional requirement now.

That's interesting, d1s2. Which schools would these be? It must be a new introduction because my friend's dd who's in Sec 2 was admitted through DSA Sports with the minimum requirement of meeting the express stream cut-off.

My daughter's RGS Juniors mentioned that they still needed to get at least 250 for their PSLE even with their sports DSA offers . I get the impression that this may be the case only in the very recent years. I dont know if this is across the board policy or only for specific sports or specific circumstances. Maybe we'll hear from this year's batch when the offers come in.

I suppose they've realized through the years that some who entered through Sports DSA on borderline PSLE scores couldn't cope well with the rigour of academics.

Dont think the results are out for next year's sec 1s yet.

during one of the meetings with one of the principals in March 2010, we asked this question on PSLE t-score requirement for those DSA confirmed students.


the answer is as per MOE guideline

but then we also know that they won’t make DSA offer to those who shows weak academic result…that is why they set their own DSA test instead of relying on school results of the P6 kids

DD applied DSA via Academics + the confirmed letter stated PSLE score must meet the express stream requirement. they are doing DSA sports interview this wk; so the confirmed offers for sports should be out soon; then can see if there’s any stated min PSLE score.

How R these DSA-Sports Girls doing currently?
Have they managed to catch up on their grades?
If Not, R the school giving them Additional Supplementary class to help them?
Or has there been more drastic Action, like request to transfer out from RGS?javascript:emoticon(':shock:')
Hear say that there are special class for DSA-Sports Students only, is it true?

My daughter got 260 for psle and merit for higher chinese language, so should she put nanyang as her first choice or RGS as the first choice.

Think she can get into both. So follow your heart.
