DSA 2022
-
My boy was dropped off and was on his own at RI for the Science test. He managed to get this rough figure from source. That’s is to say English, Malay, Maths and Science domain in attendance made up about 5% of the total application for RI academic domain.
It’s sometimes good to let our kids be independent to explore and experience. They will sniff and find something. I wasn’t there with him or his father. If the source is reliable, I trust my son to ask different questions to verify his understanding. -

The 5% doesn’t sound quite right. I think there were at least 500 kids that went for the test. If 5%, that would work out to be at least 10k applications, just for RI Academics. I doubt there’s that many.

Yeah, there were so many children at RI for the tests. It's hard to believe that those form 5% of the cohort of applicants. It may be more plausible (though just a guess) that from that group, 5% will be selected for an offer (or perhaps undergo a final round of interviews etc.).

I don't think RI filter anyone for round 1. I believe that everyone who applied received invitation to sit for trial. For academics - my DS number is #6XX, might have more than 500 attended the trial exam. For Sports domain that my DS applied, they did mentioned that they invited everyone to take the trial. There will be a second trial this Friday, for the shortlisted kids. Good that RI let everyone to have chance to take the trial.

It tends to vary by school. Some will do the above; others will inform in Sept, at which point it was already obvious...
But I'm curious as to whether schools send our rejection e-mails? OR do we just assume that if you don't get a callback, that's the end of the road?
This year may be different; due to the shortlisting and interview phases perhaps there will be more definitive updates along the way. Or schools could change the standard operating procedure as well... -

I guess the one thing I've learned from this entire exercise is that there is no consistency in how the schools run their respective DSA process. This is quite unfortunate as it leaves the children (and their parents) in a state of uncertainty and confusion. Everyone ends up coming to KP (no issues here) to check, cross-check and double-check and even after doing so, it's still anyone's guess. For example, e-mails come out at different dates for different domains in the same school.
It might be better for schools to set some firm timelines for notices so that everyone knows what the key dates are and if replies are not received by those dates, then it's time to move on. Students and parents take a lot of effort to apply for a DSA spot so if the schools can help numb that anxiety (esp. during an already stressful PSLE year), that would be beneficial for all involved. -

The DSA application is through a centralized portal with information on the report card sent via MOE systems. All applicants are limited to 10 entries for non-school supporting.
Thank you.

I thought that this already made the process very centralized. Can you imagine each school having their own website or paper-based process and formats? -
