      oki so after 2nd choice can anyhow put le hor lol

      That is provided your child's score is higher than his 1st & 2nd choice, or else it is safer to choose the rest of them wisely. I only chose 2 schools for my boy instead of 6. It is not compulsory to choose 6 schools.

            Getting at least 260 SHOULD be quite safe. If your son has special talent, try DSA. My friend successfully applied for DSA(basketball) at DHS this year. He scored only 219 but he still can go there. He also said as long as he get at least 200, he can go DHS. Lucky....

                Seriously, DSA and getting in with a 219 score is not a good option.....the kid will have a hard time catching up in the school, and he is also expected to contribute to the CCA which will be even more time consuming for him. If his score is in the 240s, I would say it is ok as he probably can still catch up if he works hard. 21x is too far off from the cohort (if you look at the median, it is probably ~258?). As DHS is a IP school, there is minimal cut-off to maintain yearly, else he cannot be promoted to next year.

                By the way, is it Dunman High School or is it Dunman Secondary? Is your friend's kid performing way below his usual standard or is he at this standard all the while in Pri school? I am surprised IP school accepting kids via DSA Sports at this standard which is so far off from the school's standard. Usually, they will still take into consideration the kid's academic to ensure they are able to catch up and cope with the rest of the cohort!

Though I think some ip schools require at least 250?

                    Yes, once school makes a DSA offer to a student, they will have to take in the student as long as he / she qualifies for their Express stream (which is 200).

                    But for IP school, during DSA exercise, they will not only consider the student's Sport's achievement, in addition they will also look into the academic aspect (though the emphasis on academic may not be as demanding) to ensure the student will be able to cope with the demanding IP curriculum once he / she enters the secondary school. If the student is constantly way below the academic standard, I do not think the IP school will make the DSA offer even if he / she is at the top of her sports achievement! This is a responsible move as the student will suffer if he / she does not meet the grade in secondary school subsequently.

                    Of course, there is a possibility of the student being constantly on par in academic aspect but due to special circumstances had an \"accidental huge drop\" in PSLE. In this case, the student might still get DSA offer from the IP school, but ended up entering the school at a much lower score. I think the student will still perform well in that secondary school as the PSLE score is just an accident and his / her academic level is on par with what the school reuqires.

                        I hope the student is just a one-off \"accidental\" performance at PSLE and he will cope well with the IP syllabus in DHS!
