Hi, With rdgs to her chinese & HCL marks, I have no idea, it was in the report book(SA1).

To jitoh,


Your calculations were right! It all started with where, thru wat??? After her school open house on secondary schools, she set her mind on a particular school which we strongly disagreed but after consideration, we supported her as that was her dream school, than she was supposed to pick another school just in case… N one after the other she wanted to try, so we went ahead. but I believe too that it might b stressful for some kids, but my DD enjoys it, to her it is just another tests, not a study subject, so do her best.

But I must admit, I am the one who is more kang cheong of the outcome after I was introduced to the kiasu forum and this is a GREAT FORUM!!!

Hi Belle, DD took her GAT at RGS on 5 Jul, btw she is not GEPer, she is from the mainstream. I just received email from RGS today. Hope you will receive yours soon too


DD is trying for academic English, anyone out there knows abt the test details? what's literary appreciation (one of the test topics) about ?

Hello,
I think some kind mums have shared about the English and Science half a day selection test some time ago as this 23 Jul selection will be the second and last test.
Thank-you.

Cheers,
Belle.

Thanks Belle,I will scroll thru and look at the relevant posts then

Just wondering are students in the high ability or twinning classes considered as mainstream fro DSA ?

These are the students chosen by MOE based on the GE selection tests to take part in the special programme.
Anyway most of them should be good with math.

Noticed from DS’s cohort most of these students applied DSA for NUSH and NJC.

Hi.


After reading the comments on DSA. I started to worry... My girl is P5 this yr. No CCA. No achievements. Not class monitor or prefect.Took part in few competition but never win. Results up to date. English(88)Science 88,maths 80,chinese 85.HCL 86. HOW to DSA???Any advise before it is too late???Thks.
:?

Just curious. Why does she have both Chinese and HCL marks. I thought each student either takes Chinese or HCL?

When a student opt to take HCL in primary 5 & 6, he/she has to take both the 'normal' chinese & HCL paper, same goes for the PSLE. The 'normal' chinese marks will be included in the T-score whereas the HCL will b graded as Distinction, Merit or Pass which will give u bonus pts for entry into SAP sec sch.

Maybe this is different for each school?? :?
