MMM:

Did anyone try for DSA via asthetics this year??? Pls share your experience.

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.

Those who score less than 80% for their overall Primary 6 marks (CA1+SA1) will be required to sit for the GAT. All GE Domain applicants will be required to attend an interview. We will let you know the exact date and time via email.

So just have to meet the T-score of 250 to get in MGS & SCGS ?

NO

as long as meet the entry requirement for the express stream

school cannot set minimum target t-score for DSA candidate if the candidate has been offered a CO. it defeats the purpose of DSA

I did clarify with the school last year for my younger DS when receiving the Letter of Offer (Confirmed offer). They did say they expect him to get the same score as the rest (which he didn't in the end!!!), but when I probed further, the teacher confirmed that they cannot go against the MOE stipulated guideline of 200.

All these while, I've the impression that as long as one is being accepted during DSA & that the sec school offers IP prog, the child will be in IP regardless of the t-score. Isn't this the case?

Regardless of t-score? Wah, then get t-score 150 also can, har? :scared:

No lah. If accepted, you just need to meet the minimum criteria of the school, something like 200 score[/quote]If it is a non-IP programme, some schools do specify \"must meet minimum requirements of Express Stream\". Usually this just means must meet a score of like 188 (I think that is the very very minimum for Express?).

Another way the schools like to word it in their Letters is \"must meet the minimum requirements for entry into the programme in their school\". Usually that would be 200 (for the better schools).

So - you check with the school to clarify.

I emailed them, but still no response.

Maybe no problem,cos video show submit in early June,but they say encouraged.
They put up to 7 July so :xedfingers: and hope for the best when submitting.

The office is closed on the weekend, that's why there's no reply from the school. Best if you go down tomorrow and submit your hard copies asap. Also highlight to them that you're from GEP because GEP students have their GAT before mainstream students. That's why they ask GEP students to submit their documents before everyone else.
