I always wonder about the 75%, 80%, 85% academic average that some schools say is needed for DSA application. But every school has different standards, so in this case, it seems like students in schools with more lax exam papers will have greater chance?

the selection tests set by the DSA schools will ensure they are measure by the same standard, regardless of what marks which school they are from

But they state that the school records must show eg. 80% average. Surely some pri school's 75% might even be better than some pri school's 80%? So those from schools with very strict exams would not have chance to apply for that same DSA due to criteria, but student from a school with easier exams can. That's what I'm trying to say.

but the geppers they take the same SA exams..so the 80% is it meant for geppers' result or is it also meant for mainstream students?

Some schools still specify 80% for mainstream students. Some specify 75%, Some even specify 85%, i think.
