      [quote=\"HyperKiasu\"]One parent told me that if kids are sport-DSAed into RI, they will be put under sports class and given easier stuff to study and in Sec 4, they still need to take O level. Can any parent confirm this?

      TIA


      Not true. In year 1, they will put only those that are weak in the PSLE result in sports class. I know of sport-DSAed student with high 24x going to normal year 1 class. In RI, there are no O level class. If your result is not good, you have to transfer to another sec. School to take O level. I know a few Year 3 students who have done so.

      I thought the cut-off was 250 for sports class. Anything above you go to a normal class. And, I don't think the syllabus is different, except that they do not do music and art. I think if you score more than 250, you are not allowed to go to the sports class even if you request.[/quote]Another factor to take note if the boy takes HMT or only MT.

                    yes, same for NYGH and RGS
                    The % of cohort given out at DSA depends on the type of school, specialized schools, e.g. SOTA, NUSH etc - 100%, IP schools - 50%, etc Refer to this MOE article.

                      yes those IP schools who are also independent school has 100% discretion on admission policy - NUSH opted for 100% via DSA while the other 4 -- RIRGSHCINYGH opted for 50% DSA and 50% S1 posting, NJC though is IP but is not IS so its admission policy must follow MOE guideline
