The ct and SA papers are marked by students own teachers right. It is unlike PSLE which has a central marking by different teachers. If so, how do they ensure fairness, especially when the P6 SA result is going to be used for DSA?

believe most DSA process incl a test or day camp or interview or combi. It is not just past results.

The teachers have their marking rubrics. And GEP HQ will moderate if necessary. So don't worry about it.

moderation is one thing but here I am referring to the script marked by only one teacher recently. Thot they used to have the papers marked by two teachers (saw it when ds was in P4) to counter check? What if sch A does very well and sch B does badly, wonder if they will review the marking details to investigate why?

RI --- 80 % and above for p6 gep (ca1+sa1), kids will skip GAt for RI DSA. But please check with RI DSA website again in case there is any chances ..

Similarly for Science and SS OE questions. It will be good if there is another markers like they used to have. Not sure how was it like last year in your GE centre
