DSA 2012

Hi! Does anyone know the format of the interview conducted by Hwa Chong for DSA? What are the topics they ask generally? Is it conducted in English or Chinese?

1 day notice? Oh no… that’s my concern when I checked the dates. For NYGH, the DSA application is from 7May-2July and their audition dates are from 21May-13July. Which means they will start audition once the application comes in? OMG!

Dunno. I think I heard from parents in the DSA thread that NYGH & SCGS gave a few days' notice. Maybe 3 days or so.

Best to have a piece prepared lah.

Last year they asked the general questions about why HC, what subjects you want to specialise in, etc. It was in English. It may vary among interviewers and cohort.

Does anyone here has any feedback / advice on Cedar volleyball team? My DD is keen to get into this school via DSA sport. Would appreciate if anyone has any comment to share? Thanks.

Generally in English. However, some parents mentioned that some interviewers do ask 1 to 2 question in Chinese.

Thanks, Yukilei and Fretting. What about the Maths test? Are they tested on P6 stuff? How long is the test?

[Fretting]

Not sure about a maths test. There was a free response test, which covered general current affairs/common sense topics. e.g. environment etc.

I heard that there're 3 questions for the free response test. One of last year question was about \"going green\". Guess it's good to spend some time reading newspaper
