Hi,all. Can I kindly check with those that had been throught SST-DSA before.

Is their round 1 written exam, Math/science olympiad style or normal school exam style? I am prepraing for my DD for next year Thanks.

It is just a written MCQ test. 3 sections. Each section 45mins. The 3 sections are namely: English, Math, and then Abstract Reasoning. My ds says no problem having time to finish all the questions with time to check.

Dear vidhyalog:

All parents want the best for their kids. I understand your anxiety on Sec School selection. Some kids blossom later in life. Sometimes I feel as mother, I am overly anxious for my son while my son is more calm on DSA selections and PSLE preparations. My son will find a way in life somehow.
All the best to your DD in the PSLE.

[quote=\"MYB\"]Hi All,


Could you share soem experience on SST please?

Thanks.[/b]

Will SST go into IP?

My friend's DD is there. Having a TORRID time becos no books. They use the laptop extensively so kids are usually into gaming. Believe he could be addicted to the games.

This I must add is what I hear.

:shock:[/quote]Not true, misunderstanding between your friend and her son.

Mclarent, I think I think the misunderstanding is yours as Hotspurs68 mentioned it's what he/she heard from friend. No offense.
My boy in SST used the Macbook extensively, for him, he used it for watching videos, some his friends are into gaming and facebook etc. I have to constantly remind him about the usage of his Macbook is for the purpose of learning.

At least 2 other IP schools I know also having this problem of misuse during school hrs.

Hi PoohBear

Did your son get the CO from SST?
The forum has gone very quiet.
Cheers

Hi vidhyalog:

My son got the CO from SST, besides the NUSH. He still wants to attend SST trial lessons on 22 Oct, even though I know his heart is in NUSH. At least he is still open-minded and open to options.
Thanks for your concern.
All the best for the PSLE!!! How much oil we need to pour for the grand finale! I am so eager to reach the last PSLE paper!
Cheers!!!

I am so envious of all those that got a CO from SST this year. My DD will be trying for next year. :congrats: for all those parents and their kids!! :celebrate:
