Thanks AppleCrumble, MdmKS and jtoh. I'm glad to hear that chances are high for him. Now is the time to concentrate on PSLE. I heard that if T-score is high, will get CO on PSLE release date.


:congrats: to gladtobemom!

why do they want to do that? 20 Aug is better as by then the PSLE oral will be over...

Good to know the outcome early. Those who get the good news would obviously be in good mood. Those who don't get any offer would be even more motivated to do well in PSLE Oral so they can still enter their dream school with PSLE results.

There will be interference in they mind and they will keep thinking and discussing about it and forgot what they have practics by hard ... it happen when SMOPS result was released, it appear the night before our school SA1 Oral and
when the students got to school they kept talking and thinking about it and some even became too nervous during oral .[/quote]I see your point. Guess there is no right or wrong time to release the news. Different kids will react differently just like adults. This is good opportunity for parents to coach our kids how to face such situation with positive attitude.

I also wished HCI releases the DSA results on 20 Aug or earlier this week, and not 1 day before psle oral or in the midst of oral. For applicants who do not receive a CO, the pressure to perform on 19 & 20 Oral will become tremendous knowing that they didn’t clinch the CO so must perform very hard for psle, then what if they get too nervous under such pressure, given the short recovery time for them to accept the sad fact?

If HCI had released earlier this week, at least then the unsuccessful applicants would have a couple of days to get over the sad news and would hopefully by then calmed down in time for their psle Oral.

Time to practise hard my ‘act cool and cooler’ kungfu. But my heart keeps skipping a beat, must 运气 more and more often.

I guess by now the school must have all the co candidates so no point holding till Friday. (Since some school already released the results)

Best Wishes to all :celebrate:

Hi fruitplus,

My DS also get Wait List, he is also under GEP, though his SA1 wasn't that fantastic - that's why, I guess.

But I am happy for him already, let's just hope for the best after PSLE.

Several of his classmates already get confirmed slots at RI, and some also on WaitList.

Good luck to all. :celebrate:

Hi everyone!

My daughter is currently P6 now and she recently went for the RGS GATs. She compared her answers with all her friends and she found out that most of her answers differ. She is suicidal now as RGS is her dream school. HELP!

Oh dear! :!: Please encourage your DD not to take it so hard on herself. There is still chance with the coming PSLE. Encourage her to work hard to get a good t-score so that she will stand a good chance to get into her dream school.

If RGS is her dream school, all the more she should work hard at PSLE to get into her dream school. Tell her hard work will make success taste better. DSA is just one of the routes - but it is not the only and final route to her dream school RGS.
