may i know why? :?
DSA is different from MO.8228:
98.6% should be in the top 50 right? So, at least Distinction. Still no chance for DSA?
being top in MO does not mean one has the ability beyond peers.....even these boys who top the MO does not necessarily possess ability beyond peers but they still get into RI due to high t-score from PSLE, if they have not accepted CO from other DSA schools
each DSA school has their own right / discretion how they select students. we can only say RI sets very high standard, reasonable or not is a separate issue.
If MO can't tell who is beyond the peers? :scratchhead:
then what can tell who is beyond the peers in the domain of math? -
80 platinum from SMOPS and 50 distinction from RIPWMC, = 130, may be 20 are overlap, so there are 110 of them, a big group…who can tell who among them are having math ability beyond peers ?
all 110 of them are peers of equal standing, only some killer papers may be able to set them apart -
Both SMOPS and RIPMWC will have a round 2 competition.
Date of R2 papers:
27/4/2012 (RIPMWC R2 Paper) (Already over)
26/5/2012 (APMOPS) -

er, i had thought they rank the top. 1xx are platinum/distinction but there is still mark range among them so still possible to tell them apart......80 platinum from SMOPS and 50 distinction from RIPWMC, = 130, may be 20 are overlap, so there are 110 of them, a big group......who can tell who among them are having math ability beyond peers ?
all 110 of them are peers of equal standing, only some killer papers may be able to set them apart
anyway, small issue...hehe....

unfortunately the 80 marks of RIPWMC is not the same of 80marks in SMOPS, their style of questions are very different

also, since MO is so common, it is considered as peer knowledge -

Hi, may I know why you are sending yr son for the maths Olympiad exam. Is this going to help in his Sch work or PSLE? Cos I am also looking out for some courses to help my son in his maths. He just need some expert help to solve problem sum easier. -

Hi, Maths Olympiad is a generic name for a category of academic (maths) competitions. You are probably referring to the common ones like
http://oas.highsch.nus.edu.sg/NMOS/ and
http://www.hci.sg/aphelion/apmops/
Many centres (tuition centres, etc) offer training courses for maths olympiad at primary school level. You will have to contact them directly.
The more commonly known ones are mathoasis, mathshub, learninginteractive, etc. -
