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.

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!

Hi, I am wondering if there is any moms of sec 3 NYGH girls keen to join my daughter for Language Arts tuition as Aspen Learning Centre in Bugis.


The tuition centre only takes students from the same school for each tuition class. Currently there are mostly RGS girls there but they can start an NYGH group if we can form a group of 4.

More info here : http://www.aspen.com.sg

Please pm me if you are keen. Thanks

Hi, just wanna ask about parents' opinion.


What factors prompt you to select NYGH say over RGS ?

Is NYGH very strong in Chinese subject?

Thanks for sharing

NYGH is an SAP school, so there is emphasis on Chinese, Chinese culture, values , (which is what I like about the school.)
So naturally if the child absolute hates the subject would find it a tough environment. But I know of girls who need Chinese tuition also goes to NYGH. So I would say more important would be to consider your DD's preference. But I do notice that girls at P6 has the tendency to follow their friends in the choice of school, which may not be to their best interests.
