. no wonder DH said buying the ipad was a wrong move :slapshead:

Haha.. Ipad was supposedly to be my bd present from DH... but look who is/are the biggest users ? DH & DS ! I hardly touch it, and I strongly believe getting it for my BD present was a BIG excuse and going round this purchase.... cos DH knew that I wld not allow him to buy it .

Your DH really smart !!! :evil:

Herbie : Thanks for sharing. My nephew who is in RI Sec 1 currently shared w me that DSA for RI will assess from P4- P6 mid year. The child will have to maintain 80% score to go direct for 2nd interview. ( Skip the GA test). For those who cannot achieve 80%, have to sit for GA test. But having said that, I was told that each year, the schools will change the requirements. For RGS, they focus only P6 mid year.


Toxic118 : She only participates in the CEP which is compulsory. That is CCA. On top of it, the sch offers HCL Enrichment. Both the days already keeps her occupied.

Oh .... CEP is compulsory in NH but not a CCA.

Is CEP considered CCA? Thought it was part of GEP required curriculum. :scratchhead:

Suggest you check out the RI website wrt to DSA still the application is currently open. Based on my understanding, RI only look at P5 year end and P6 mid year result similar to RGS. Currently, I am applying for DSA to RGS for my DD.

If the P6 mid year result is more than 80% --> don't need to take GAT and can proceed to the interview stage.

less than 80% has to take GAT.

U may also wish to read up the thread on DSA. http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=157&p=768084#p768084

Thanks for the clarification. For RGS, I got the source from my DD's form tr that they review at P6 mid year only. While reading the thread on DSA, it seems scary to know that these Geppers have been rejected. One commented to apply DSA if your score is abv 80. Real hurdle for these kids.[/quote]Ya, that's what i saw in the DSA thread whereby many of the GEPPERS got rejected. Some of DS1's ex-classmates in GEP also didn't do well for PSLE last year with some didn't even manage to get 250. Probably due to the fact that they only start to prepare for PSLE from June onwards .... so scary.

NUSHS asks for P4 results onwards .... GEP or Mainstream, they dun care much ...

Any one know what's the average for the various schools ? I did a rough calculation based on CT1 results given, its about 77.9% for Nan Hua ...

Hi dagong99, how did u work out the average? That's amazing
DS scored 82% overall, can't ask for more :boogie: Without SS, it would be 79%.
The average for Math scares me: 86.2%.

Oh, if your DS is from NH, you will receive a small note that shows the 2 GEP classes High, Ave & Low for each subject, so I add up the average score for all subjects to derive the average for the school. Hope is correct. Is that the way you compute for your DS ?
