Oic … So I suppose he is applying under smops awardees for hcl dsa1. Both same timing?

Most likely since the HCI selection test starts at 8 plus and ends at about 1.

tsh0202:

Both the selection tests for RI and HCI fall on the same day i.e. 9th July 2011.

Does anybody know whether there is any alternative if one is being selected for both? Is it possible to ask the person-in-charge to arrange the selection date on 23 July(RI) instead?

If your son applied to NUSH as well 23/7 is the date for the camp.
Read from NUSH thread last year someone faced the same problem and had to choose one and dropped one.

Are they held at the same time? If so, call up the schools to see if it's possible to change the date for one.

Am in nus high for test. School is very organized, parents are barred from entering the registration area. Judging by the numbers of pupils, easily over a thousand and they have quite a few other test venue. Applicants number likely to exceed last year number of 2000+ as 5000 pupils attended the open house. Hopefully ds will do well.

Good luck to your son, RSS. Are you waiting for him at the school? 3 hours is a long wait.

Had the same experience last year, very well organised. What impressed me most was the registration was run mostly by the students.

Anyway, good luck to your ds!
