It is a 1-hour test, according to the website, not 2hours:

What do our DS need to bring for HCI interview? Anyone knows?

This is what HCI ask for the applicant to prepare:
Please come in your school uniform and bring along the following items:
1. A set of writing implements (pen, 2B pencil & eraser);
2. A cheque for S$30.00, made payable to Hwa Chong Institution;
3. A copy of your Primary 5 end-of-year results and Primary 6 mid-year results; and
4. Any other documents that you wish to include which provide evidence of your special talent.
(Please ensure that your documents are no larger than A4 size)

DS very happy about that too. Easier to be out in smart casual wear esp. if going elsewhere later.

For those who applied DSA to NUSH, it may be of interest to you that NUSH had two tea reception last year - one was held before the 2nd round half day selection camp and the other was held for those COs. For the first tea reception, only a small group, approximately 50, were invited with their families to attend a talk by the school principal & his senior staff. This was followed by a tea reception in which the staff and some NUSH students mingled freely with the guests. This tea reception was held ahead of the 2nd round and I believe it is a group which NUSH hopes would select the school eventually. Incentives such as waiver of test fees for both rounds were given to this group. If NUSH follows this practice this year, invitation to this tea reception should be out or out soon.

Generally true i guess.
However there maybe exceptions.
Personally i know of two from last year - one did not receive any offer even though was invited to pre camp tea reception. And one received WL only. ( even had Consistent gold in Olympiads)

Possible since it's the math olympiad high scorers that are invited to pre camp tea reception but only 1/5 component of the camp is on math.
Something may have gone wrong somewhere in the camp.
