Dear all,


DS went for HCI interview tis morning. According to him, there're 800+ applicants this year. 250 from GEP. There're about 7 students taking turn to go into the interview room. The question he get is all abt himself on why he want to go HCI. The interviewer continually to ask more base on his answer. so to him, it's more like chit chat session. His classmates were ask abt the response test ans n current affair.

Being tekan is good, especially if your boy maintained his composure and answered well.

My DS think he is lucky. He said maybe he elaborate a lot on y HCI. Those questions asked are really drilling into his answer. When he said \"a\", they ask what make u say \"A\" & why \"A\" and so on. However this does not mean he has done well. Just that he felt relieved that he can answer. Good luck to our DS!

What does RGS DSA's GAT test? If you apply for science, does it mean that they will also give you some questions on it or will it just be some general ability test, like GEP's test?

What are some sample questions, and where can I find them?
Thank you. :thankyou:

Many people ( teachers, students & parents) don’t understand the rationale behind NYGH’s current reluctance to offer DSAs to non- GEP NYPS students. Last year, many excellent students from the HA classes at NYPS were not offered DSA to NYGH for no obvious reason. As expected, many felt that their own sister school did not value them nor gave NYPS any face.


Some of these children and parents retaliated by opting for RGS/NUS HIGH the minute PSLE results were out. Once the talented older sister in P6 goes to RGS/ NUS HIGH, the younger siblings will almost automatically follow. This is already happening.

It seems like an unnecessary loss for the Nanyang family. It is also a waste because NYPS had spent 6 years instilling Nanyang values into the students only to lose excellent students to other schools which welcome them with open arms. If bilingualism is valued and encouraged, NYGH should try retain its highly bilingual students from its sister school.
