Apparently, for RGS, all three interviewees were from different schools. And I saw a NYPS girl there too.

Yes, they try to arrange it such that each of the girls being interviewed is from a different school. But towards the end of the interview schedule, they have no choice but to put girls from the same GEP school together because there are too many of them. :lol:

May I suggest that RI interview date and time is arranged according to their BC number as such their birthday. DS’ s friend who was borned just 2 weeks before him has his interview 1/2 h before my DS. DS’s classmate who was borned 1 month before DS has interview date 2 day earlier. So i think it is sorted by Birth Cert Number not results or school or anything else.

For HCI geppers interview, they also no need to present the original certificates..

For RI interview, as stated in their email that student are requirement to bring a key project such as IR, etc or one of their outstanding assignment to present during the interview...
Nevertheless, they might change the criteria every year..so got to check again next yr ..Zann

my ds IR \"die off \" so is SS portfolio useable ? They are mainly write-up. If not what else?

What about IDP? Can consider the interest driven project done at P5 if your child is keen in science

So is RI interview individual interview or 2 or 3 kids grouped together ?


Btw just heard from my DS that there is still SS in the coming prelims.

Thought GE syllabus finish by SA1 ?

So if one get thru DSA for GE domain but fail the final SS test then what ?
Go to normal class ?

This SS SA is very irritating to me. They placed it the same wk as psle oral - it is on 16 aug, while psle oral is on 18/19 aug. Dunno what the GE branch is doing. Since psle is earlier this year, should't they do SS earlier instead of putting them in e same week?

You have to pass SS to be awarded GEP status in secondary school. Not difficult to pass.
