      [quote=\"obsession\"]After submitting the DSA School Preference Form through one's Primary school, would there be any verification slip given?


      Am concerned now as a verification slip could be printed out if you submit your preference online. Even more concerned if the school loses the form or if the clerk enters the info wrongly :shock:

      Best to submit online. Less human error.

      Shucks too late! DS had to submit it to his form teacher by today as they will all be off for a 3-day camp. I didn't duplicate a copy and I can't recall the DSA pin no.! 😢[/quote]if the school mess it up, they have to solve it for you

      if the psle t-score is better than expected, then take the chance to choose another school ......LOL!

            If you still want to confirm becos ur choices are pretty complicated
            - Moe DSA website they mention
            2) If you have lost your DSA-Sec PIN, please approach your child's primary school or MOE's Customer Service Centre for assistance.

                  Hi


                  Parents whose DD got into RGS via DSA. Do you mind sharing your child’s PSLE results?

                  Thank you very much.

                    Hi NotKiasuEnough,

                    Pls see what Strparent writtern in RI thread, Pg 63 (post 1) and my view in RI thread, Pg 62 (2nd last post).
                    http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5815&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=dsa&start=620

                    It seems that the DSA criteria based largely on P6 SA1 results. In my opion, the GAT and interview must have certain weightage (especially for those P6 SA1 below 80%), if not, what for they set up the test and interview?

                    As for T-score, for DSA case, as long as T-score above 200 and ranked high enough in waiting list, it is good enough.

                    Do note that someone mentioned DSA to NUSH also need Maths and Science A* in PSLE. Can anyone confirm this?

                    PS. Sun_2010 and nymom confirmed that DSA to NUSH only need T-score above 200.

                      Just to highlight, the RGS DSA process is a little different from RI's. There's no waitlist for RGS. That being said, the P6 SA1 results are important for RGS DSA. As is the interview.

                        DSA to NUSHS as long you qualified for express then you are able to get in NUSHS . It same as other IP schools.
