they will never admit

we do understand there are constraints on dates, must be on saturdays, and very limited dates available due to other processes that must happen before rounding up the kids for the selection test / camp en-masse

Hi Belle2011,

When I said second round, I mean domain specific test. Sorry for the confusion.

Hope they still send emails on tuesday....

officially time constraint, of course. can they say the purpose is to force a decision on choice ?

it is just a GAT. majority of students in singapore do not take part in DSA

you still have the PSLE to prove yourself.

Dear ks2011,
I think Lynn referred to her girl applying for RGS.
I think there is some confusion here because some shared about RGS and others on RI.
Anyway, thank-you for sharing info.

Cheers,
Belle.

Today is still not yet over.

[quote=\"ks2011\"]After test...if selected...interviews will be in end july or august

Confusing!
The earlier post said after the selection test, no interview.
Yours is after test and if selected, there will be an interview.
May I know which is which? Or both meant different schools?
Thank-you.

Cheers,
Belle.

There is no interview for non-GEP mainstream kid who has to do the subject selection test

The interview is for GEP kid who meet the cut-off 80% average score and does not need to do GAT & subject selection test.

This is talking about RI[/quote]
FOR RI DSA

I am quite clear about the RI DSA process for GE Domain
1) CA1+SA1 >80% - No need to take GAT test. Need to go for one interview only. (Then go to BiBi Baba and buy uniform..haha)
2) CA1+SA1 <80% - Need to take GAT test AND interview. Regardless how well or bad the students perform in GAT, the students will call up for interview. (Then go home and pray hard)

For the mainstream RI DSA process which I am not very clear
For e.g. a student apply for math domain
1st step - Take GAT
2nd step - If perform well in GAT and short listed, then go for half day selection test. Which is a 3 hours test paper.
3rd step - If short listed from the half day selection test. Will call up for face to face interview.
4th step - go home and wait for result.

p/s - If no news after taken GAT or half day selection test, that means not short listed.

Is the above process correct?

anyone can advise?

Thank you
