Paiseh, super busy day yesterday, only got time to share share now.


Setting:
2 interviewers to 3 girls. Style is Q&A. Interviewers on one side, 3 girls seated side by side on the other side. Interviewer asked one question, each girl took turn to answer that question, with some prompting from either interviewers when needed). Basically, like what my DD said - like taking an Oral Examination...
[We were expecting a more chit chat like session as I thought that would be more spontaneous, but anyway ...]

Questions (this is based on what DD can remember but I would think the questions would vary from day to day).
- Give a general introduction (favourite subject, ambition)
- What other schools have you DSA?
- Share on community projects that you have been involved in
- Share on leadership opportunites. One that you are proud of, one that you are not so proud of.

DD came out form the interview feeling lousy and said that she didn't perform well for the interview. However, when I asked her to recount to me, it seemed ok to me. Anyway, told her to put it behind her (two down, one more to go) and take it as a practice session for her Oral Exam Conversation component.

Good luck to those who are going for GAT/Selection Tests/Interviews... :rahrah:

Maybe results come back faster for the girls schools as there are fewer GEP girls as compared to boys (for this batch, about 175 girls vs 375 boys)?


Totally no news from NYGH yet leh. In fact, NYGH GAT only on this Sat. I tried to login to NYGH DSA website to check status but got error message ... Just want to get NYGH interview over and done with, then can tick off DSA and \"cheong\" for PSLE ...

jtoh:

From my past experience, NYGH is one of the first to give out COs amongst RGS/RI/HCI/NUSH etc. As sautille says, chill.

HI TREX8

Thank you for sharing. Did not see anyone share such information for a long time.

Just wonder, is the other 2 girls in the interview room come from the some school as your DD? The interviewers ask the girls one by one the same questions? Or the interviewers ask a question and any of the 3 girls would answer the question? Hope you would share.

Thank you
BD

Don't we all feel lousy after interview? Mentally you are all drained, and you will always think you could have answer particular question better. Interviews are interviews, they are supposed to make you uncomfortable.
All the best to her, and hope she get CO for this, and give you more headache on which one to choose! BTW, which school was this for?

Hi Blur Dad,


is the other 2 girls in the interview room come from the some school as your DD?
- Nope, all 3 from different sch.

The interviewers ask the girls one by one the same questions? Or the interviewers ask a question and any of the 3 girls would answer the question?
DD said interviewer asked one question, each girl took turn to answer that question. Then interviewer asked next qn, and each girl took turn to answer the next question. DD said even the order of answering question is the same, from the girl seated on the left, to the middle, then the right.
