[quote=\"MotherHen\"]Yes, dd is GEP >85% and HCL. Now I understand why some parents necks become long last year from waiting

My dd too is GEP > 85% (her P6 SA1 average is around 90%). Like yours, mine has not received the call for NYGH interview yet either.

Hope that they need not attend NYGH interview.

Yah I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Heard from my dd last night that two of her frens have rec'd call to attend the nygh tea party.

Hopefully we'll both hear some good news too.[/quote]In fact, there's even speculation that it matters very much which venue is the NYGH interview being conducted. That is, those whose interviews are held at the Alumni Room will be interviewed personally by the P herself (which may mean an informal chit-chat session ie. sort of a 'tea session') whereas if held elsewhere in the school, the interviews will be a formal one. Again I have to stress it's just a speculation and that's why I'm sharing it here in the hope that someone with better knowledge of this year's NYGH interview process can confirm if the speculation is true or simply a speculation.

For students who have multiple selection test offers or prelim. Other than the liking of the kid to go where, it is best parents understand the potential of their kids and where they can fit in best , chances of getting in to school of their kids choice and the acadamic performance & certificates they have and have good talk. I learnt from my friends experience last year and I have my homework done . Sometimes need to be practical and do this homework and not regret later. All the best.

My DD also received the email from RGS for selection test but at the same day she has Prelims mother tongue (NTML) Oral. RGS already mentioned they cannot change the date. Also I am sure Prelims Oral cannot be changed. What to do?

hi mamona,

Oral exams in school are largely spread across several days. Try speaking to your DD's school. i am quite sure the school will accede to your request and put your DD with another batch of candidates for oral.

all the best!

No it is a centralised exam conducted by all the non-tamil mother tongue language school. And it is only one day exam.[/quote]

hi mamona,

my daughter is in the same boat. Prelims oral and RGS selection is at the same time. Sincerely hope RGS will understand that it is a genuine issue and suggest alternate date :xedfingers:

My understanding is if the kid misses PSLE for whatever reason, e.g MC, prelim results will be used for sec school. So to some extents prelim is still important.

Have any mainstreamers who applied for DSA to NYGH receive a notification regarding the interview from them?
