Asking her piano teacher if can position her for grade 5 theory.... practical is definitely a stretch. But good to learn that it's not MUST have but nice to have.

By the way, what insrument does your dd play in the band?

Grade 5 theory is not difficult. You can start her on g5 theory lessons now and sit for the exam 27 October 2012. Should have no problem to do well.

Hi, Im a p6 gepper wanting to know more. I submitted for HCi and Ri DSA. So far HCI shortlisted and RI not submitted hard copy docs yet. Anyone can tell me what I can expect for the DSA selection questions?

I thot the hard copy of the application forms and certificates have already been submitted before the closing date...If your overall result is more than 80% then you don't need to sit for GAT test and just wait for the interview..

RI can submit before 7 July. I live in Jurong, go there very lehcheh. Also, my results sadly 75.2% only, so need to take GAT[/quote]From what I know, GEP applicants to RI must submit by June 7 (not July 7). The hardcopy and $50 have to be submitted within 10 working days after online registration. Other parents please help confirm the above info.

I just checked, you are right. How? I went overseas on 29 June. was in hospital b4 that. DO you think i can be excused?[/quote]

It is better that you inform your parents asap and get them to call RI directly (63538830).
