Herbie:

For the interview, does the kid need to prepare any portfolio?

The e-mail said there is no need for a prepared speech and advised to respond sincerely and spontaneously during the interview. No mention of original certificates or portfolio.

I have been wondering about the portfolio. DD has not been called in for interview, and we do not know if we should go ahead and get a portfolio ready, just in case.

When I called NYGH previously about the result slips, the lady who answered the call did mention that we would only need to bring in the original result slips etc during interview (since no copies were submitted during application). In this case, do we just bring along the original docs for verification or still do up a portfolio? Really appreciate it if last year's DSA parents can advise. Many TIA.

Hi, of course it’s worth trying. Your child is in P5 this year, have to start preparing for PSLE now. Can send me a SMS 91277331

If we dont receive anything from MGS, does that mean we are not shortlisted???

For HCI DSA test and interview this coming Saturday, will HCI release all the students at the same time? For example, for those reporting at 10 am, will all the students be released at the same time at 1:30 pm or will the students be allowed to leave as soon as their test and interview are over?

:? I have very very basic question.


1. what is the pass mark for each ofthe subject (Maths,English, MT,HMT,Science), means if you dont get that then it is fail.
2. what is the Score needed to Express,Normal,etc.
3. what if we get fail mark in one subject but other subjects pass and even score is above 200. is it mean they will be offered express or asked to redo the PSLE or asked to do what.

I dont see any thing from MOE website and teachers also didnt share this

It's the overall score that matters. No child needs to redo PSLE bc there are different streams available for Sec 1 - Express, Normal(academic), Normal (Technical). That is, UNLESS the child wants to re-do PSLE himself/herself.

Only homeschoolers who don't hit benchmark have to redo PSLE, unless the rest of the population that just simply goes to Normal stream in secondary school.

To get into Express, it's usually 200, but some schools accept 188. You can check the MOE website for the list of schools and their COPs for Express stream.

My ds teacher mentioned that must clear all 4 subject with a minimum score of 20 marks. Any subject below that mark will be ungradable and the kid will need to retake PSLE.
