I agree w you apronmama...though mainstreams students also need to study very hard and do alot of assignment in preparation for the psle...but gep curriculum are more in depth and need a lot of thinking and
and :scratchhead: ....so I think is not very fair to say that it is a 'privilege' to 'most ' of them.... plus they took the same gep exams so is quite safe to base on their gep results as the basic judgements...
Certainly privileged. Bc they are naturally gifted. The \"gift\" given to them is already a privilege not given to other non-gifted kids. Already born with extra blessings, mah. -

ACSI DSA fee is the highest at $80 because they use the HAST not GAT. HAST stands for High Ability Selection Test. HAST is a 2.5h paper vs GAT of perhaps 40 mins? DS sat for the test already. They have another round of HAST on July 8 or 9, I think. Total year 1 intake 180. DSA vacancies 90. Actually theirs is not the highest. NUS high charges $100 for dsa camp on top of the $50 registration fees.TwaTau:
ACSI is not in the \"A\" league as that of HCI and RI, so difficult to do apple to apple comparison. Wonder why ACSI switch to the \"IB\" league?
Even though, heard their dsa very difficult to get an offer and their dsa charge is the highest.
ACSI said they switched to IB league because they believe it is more superior, and the programme produces more well-rounded students. It claims to be more relevant to modern society needs and nuture thinkers instead of route learners. -

$80 now :yikes:
It seems like it increased by $10 every year! Surveyed before and Still remember last year was $70 and the yr before was $60 .
For those who are keen on ACSI, it is easier to get in thru PSLE result. But mind you, the school fees is also one of the highest after less EESIS. -
inflation …

At the end of the day is still boils down to your A-level/IB/Diploma results not which instituition you are from. Doesn’t matter is RI/HCI/NUSH/ACSI/SOTA/NJC/DHS/RVH/CHS/VJC/SCGS/MGS/CGS/SJI anymore?

Think must have students from different form of training not just the traditional route otherwise, how these future leaders going to lead the nation forward with new ideas?
Ultimately, vast majority will still end up together in NUS/NTU/SMU/SUST unless have the financial resources or ability to win scholarships.
Really too much emphasis on all these top few schools. -

agree that if the objective is such there is no diff which school you go to but it is the learning process, experience, environment, culture or the kind of school sprit that they will go through that make the different life experience in them.
