DD just finished her nygh interview. She said it's a really big group of about 20 girls, and she didn't have much to say. She felt that her chances with nygh has just gone down the drain...:(

DD had her interview at NYGH yesterday. It's only a group of 6 gals to 2 interviewers (the principal and the vp) and they have to do group discussion while the interviewers observed. Only 2 questions were asked (1 in English and 1 in Chinese). They only took about 20 minutes in total.

Basically, there are 2 groups of interviewers yesterday and the gals are group into 6s.

May I know is your dd in the gep or mainstream? thx.

Did your dd enjoy the interview?

Hi PSLE Mums and Dads!


I'm a newbie, just hopped over from registration site : )

Looks like excitement is brewing with so many children being called up for interviews at RI, RGS etc. I feel excited for you just by reading your posts.

For my DS, still pending..He applied only to ACSI and it's a relatively easier process. Just do HAST, submit portfolio and personal statement and WAIT for result.

What's the difficulty of the HAST paper? some of the boys from DS's GEP class commented that it wasn't so easy.

Yes, interestingly the GEP boys said it wasn't that easy. My DS (not GEP) said that English was the defining paper, he took a while to decide on the best options, while Math and Abstract Reasoning were relatively manageable, especially Math. His friend who also did the HAST at NJC said it was much easier than ACSI's.

We signed up for the test on 22 June, there were 480 boys who did the test in the hall. Not sure what was the attendance for the other two test dates.

Dd applied thru GE. She enjoys the interview as their group was very co-operative even thought they do not each other. Furthermore, the principal was also very friendly and able to make the gals feel relax.

Great to know that your dd enjoyed the interview.

It's nice to know that the principal is very friendly and makes the girls feel relaxed.

Yes, dd commented that Mdm Heng is really good and very eloquent. For those dd or ds who has yet to attend the interview, all the best and good luck.

Just remember to remind our kids to stay calm. Basically, the interviewers just want to see how confident is the kid.
