But geppers who score is more than 80% has to go thru another hurdle which is the intervirw.

I heard that there are kids who did not do well during the interview and hence did not get co/wl from the dsa sch.

not surprising for RI year 5 to go HCI -- the centre for humanities studies is in HCI

But RI also have Humanities studies right?

have

but traditionally, humanities scholars are clustered in HCI, dating from the old PROMSHO days of MOE policy

Are you referring to RI? Interview for GEP students for RI DSA is quite simple. It is just a procedure, as long as the students don't screw up and scored above 80% will be fine.

I knew there was last year one GEP student did not \"behave\" well during interview. He had used some \"not so nice\" language when he was waiting outside the interview room. He was given a rejection even he had done well in his SA1.

:wrongmove:[/quote]It's not that stressful nor difficult. Certainly I don't think my dd nor her friends complained about it being stressful. The panel isn't there to trick the kids. Sometimes it's the parents who get nervous and pass on this stress to the kids, asking them to memorize standard answers or stressing how important the DSA process etc. Keep cool, tell the child it's just chatting with the teachers. When the kids are calm they'll perform better.

For questions like potatos and oranges, there's no correct answer. So why worry about it?

For RI, the interviewer will be all the level head and the \"P\", Ms Lim. My son was interviewed by her. Nice chart and she has a \"poker\" face. So you do not know how well or bad you have done.

The questions that I remembered from last year RI GEP interview.

1) You want to be a pen or pencil?
2) You want to be a screw driver or hammer?
3) You want to be bowling ball or football?
4) What time of the day do you like?
5) Which country do you like to visit?
6) Do you read? Do you read the newspaper? Which section or news that caught your attention
7) Which animal you want to be? I guess this questions Ms Lim has mentioned during her Open House presentation. Her answer was Eagle.
Do you like cooking?
9) Which super hero you want to be?
10) What is your greatest achievement?
11) Why you want to come to RI?
12) Have you apply DSA to other schools?
13) If you are given CO from RI and xxx school, which one will you choose?
14) Have you visited RI open house? How many times?
15) How to improve the RI open house
16) What have you taken back with you after you have visited RI open house?
17) What is your hobby?
