simple question : based on PSLE any schools need interview or not ?

verykiasu2010:
if PSLE score is above the school's COP, why need to interview ?[/quote]Guess the school has limited vacancies to cater for all appeal cases. One of the schools which required interview even with PSLE score above COP was NYGH. Not sure if this is needed for all appeal cases though.
I heard of appeal cases required interviews, but not GAT.wonderm:

simple question : based on PSLE any schools need interview or not ?
Now assuming I have never participated in DSA at all, purely based on S1 posting using PSLE score and is above the RGS's COP, do i need to be interviewed ? -
may be those that need to be interviewed or GAT-ed are having tscore below the COP ? the school cannot be setting higher bar than the S1 posting exercise using t-score. only reason for those test is the score is below the COP, that is what i can think of
-
that is different case, that means i need reject NYGH first.
if RGS need interview for appeal then my daughter is hopeless because she failed on DSA interview already...verykiasu2010:
Thanks for the info. Since you know, why ask ?

fromnuaa:
my dd got a school via DSA last yr but result is better so I appealed to RGS and NY. NY needs interview but RGS accepted my DD without interview.thank all of you for your reply.
for my case:
my daughter is p6 gep and has got CO via DSA from NYGH (interview is exempted), but she didn't get CO from RGS because she is too shy when on interview (GAT is exempted)!
now i have two issues:
1. my daughter is not very strong on ML.
2. most of her classmates will go RGS rather than NYGH.
so i want to try appeal to RGS if her PSLE score is above 265...:)
anybody has experience to appeal to RGS before? need GAT and interview or not? -

how you know failed the interview ? i am curiousthat is different case, that means i need reject NYGH first.

and why must reject NYGH ? -
i hope so... if somebody can confirm this, that would be great...
if my daughter psle t-score is below RGS COP, i will never appeal to RGS for her...verykiasu2010:

mummyjoyce:
so it is different from what is quoted from RGS website. Logically speaking no interview should be required if the result is above the school's COP, since post S1 it is based on PSLE t-score

all problems because of her shyness..
1. she is still shy so i don't think she will do it well on appeal interview.
2. because she is shy so her psle oral test is not good. ( i guess...) that is why i have to accept NYGH CO.fromnuaa:
