      hi mun 123, all DSA kids has to sit for test at NJC...


      I heard about that....after submitting online application correct ? If base on first round of submission, get shortlisted , then NJC will ask student to sit for test ?

      Nope, NJC is not biaised in that way. ALL applicants will be asked to sit for the test. No documents would need to be submitted with the online application (unlike RI). So for the 1st phase of shortlisting, they really really base on the Test.

      Only after being shortlisted for the 2nd phase of the DSA process, is the student asked to bring supporting documents for NJC's records. The 2nd phase comprises of the day selection camp plus interview on 2 separate days.

        I see. Any tips or :idea: what kind of questions in the Test ? Also, for which subjects, suppose more likely EL, MA ??
        Dont blame me so 'chiong hei' , cos such qns coming out from ksp sometimes may seem better than asking during Open House when swamp of pple around πŸ™‚

          They'll even give you a paper of sample questions with the letter that confirms which date/time you should be going for the test.
