There is oral, listening compre and compo. Languages add up to a total of 200%. Maths and Sci is 100%

Apparently, as explained, there's still the oral, list comp and compo yet to be calculated.

I tried last year, and let me tell you, the experience's simply excruciating. Rather, let me put it this way - you have 1500 people fighting for the tiny winy 200 spaces RI has opened up for DSA. Not just so, 1/4 or more of the places are reserved for GEP students. Because you're not applying under the GE stream, I presume you're not a GEP student. Then, as you know, you would need to go for GAT test, which is actually test of your spatial ability - ability to recognize patterns. Rather queer test, drives you crazy cause you have no time to experiment with how the shape moves. You're only given 40 min to complete 40 questions. After that, it would be your half day test, and according to my friend, they'll test you on olympiad standard questions and see if you can answer any. There wasn't any interview for non-GEP students last year, I don't think there's any as well this year. Oh yes, don't apply RI only. Try others as well.

Dude HCI quite nice. The HCI ppl come my school today and explain quite nice

FYI, some schools do not release the breakdown of oral, compo and listening compre. My kid's school is one of those. That's why will only know the total marks upon getting report book. Also can't know where is area of weakness unless you asked teacher (but they won't tell you marks!). Have highlighted but they said school policy.
