If we dont receive anything from MGS, does that mean we are not shortlisted???

For HCI DSA test and interview this coming Saturday, will HCI release all the students at the same time? For example, for those reporting at 10 am, will all the students be released at the same time at 1:30 pm or will the students be allowed to leave as soon as their test and interview are over?

:? I have very very basic question.


1. what is the pass mark for each ofthe subject (Maths,English, MT,HMT,Science), means if you dont get that then it is fail.
2. what is the Score needed to Express,Normal,etc.
3. what if we get fail mark in one subject but other subjects pass and even score is above 200. is it mean they will be offered express or asked to redo the PSLE or asked to do what.

I dont see any thing from MOE website and teachers also didnt share this

It's the overall score that matters. No child needs to redo PSLE bc there are different streams available for Sec 1 - Express, Normal(academic), Normal (Technical). That is, UNLESS the child wants to re-do PSLE himself/herself.

Only homeschoolers who don't hit benchmark have to redo PSLE, unless the rest of the population that just simply goes to Normal stream in secondary school.

To get into Express, it's usually 200, but some schools accept 188. You can check the MOE website for the list of schools and their COPs for Express stream.

My ds teacher mentioned that must clear all 4 subject with a minimum score of 20 marks. Any subject below that mark will be ungradable and the kid will need to retake PSLE.

8228, I believe they'll be released at the same time since it's mentioned in the notification email that parents are to meet them at Tower Block after the test time, ie 1030 for my case. Maybe, they'll have a holding area for students who have completed the interview earlier. During the open house, they actually hold the students at the library after student symposium while waiting for the parents to fetch them after parent symposium.

I've told my DS to call me if they're allow to leave after the test & interview and wait for me at the library. He's been to HCI a few times, so quite familiar with the campus.
