Hi mama_10,


Nanyang’s GAT is conducted by Principals Academy. You probably can find out the details about the GAT from the PAI site.

mama_10,


I am afraid I don't have the answers to your questions. I vaguely remember the girl told me she had to sit for English and Maths papers as well as the GAT.

I was only interested in knowing how she managed to dsa into the school so I didn't ask her about the time and number of questions.

I don't know when this was but DD dsa-ed via academics just last year. It was only GAT and an interview. That was all.

I know not all IP schools require GAT, they have internal exams on English and Maths instead.

Getting through the GAT is only 1 of the hurdles. There was a girl who made it through to the interview session (sports) and was rejected as the interviewer assessed that based on her P5/6 results, she has a high chance to enter NYGH via S1 posting. Apparently, the school would rather reserve those limited DSA (sports) vacancies for athletes whom they assessed would have a low chance of entering via S1 posting.


Well... it turned out that the girl did well in PSLE and got in via S1 posting.
But what a waste of money, time and effort trying for DSA !

Do they actually give u a reason why they reject you? That's not very common.
I'm not so sure about the school rejecting sports students with high academics but take in sports students with low academics? I think what really matters would be who can get that medal for the school. And there is no assurance that these students would apply for NYGH when they get their results.
I've know some students who were rejected by NYGH during DSA, they went to RGS with their results. Their theory, well, NYGH rejected them 1st... :sad:

Yes, I am probably wrong because I may have mixed up the two dsas.

GAT test is managed by Principle Academy. Once you register online, you will have to choose the date and timing. According to my dd, it was like IQ test, a lot of patterns, number puzzles etc. Interestingly, NY’s GAT and RGS’ GAT were the same. But it was not really matter, except for the second test, my dd was able to do more, but she didn’t think she had significant advantage anyway. That is perhaps one of beauties og GAT.

Thank you. Can't remember much but, NY has a particular date for the GAT test that you are supposed to go. Dd did not complete paper either and yes, alot of patterns n number puzzles. After getting through, the interview was easy.

just make sure DD don't answer \"stupidly\". Interviews are conducted in a group.
Eg,
Interviewer : what other schools did u apply?
Girl : RGS
Inteviewer: so if shortlisted for both, which one will u choose?
Girl: RGS, cos my Chinese no good....

Hi to all, I am a newbie to this forum.


DD is interested to get in NYGH next year. Does anyone know whether DSA via other CCA (i.e. Choir) stands a good chance?

Thanks!
