[quote=\"Flowermonaster\"]Another question, For mainstreamer need to pass GAT then can go interview or same as GE boys? Sorry just want to understand the procedure. TIA.

GEP kids doing RI DSA :

Pri 5 / 6 above 80% = no GAT, go straight for interview if shortlisted

below 80% = take GAT, if clear GAT = go interview if shortlisted

if clear interview : offered CO

Non-GEP doing RI DSA :

all take GAT : if clear GAT, take subject / domain selection test -- no interview

if do well in subjection selection test, offered CO

My friend's DS is still haven't received any email or sms from RI, but his son is applying under GE domain too, so if based on what you said \"Pri 5 / 6 above 80% = no GAT, go straight for interview if shortlisted\", that's mean he is not shortlisted by RI.

Please clarify. tx[/quote]GE Interviews: 16 July 2012 - 25 July 2012
Your friend's DS might be schedule for the later date so the notification will come later.

Will we be penalized if we tell the interviewer that we have applied for 4 schools including their "rival school".

I would think the $50 is registration for RI DSA regardless of whether one needs to sit for GAT.

[Lovemama]

I agree with sandunes. By collecting $50, I believe all applicants will be going thru at least one of the test, depending on the criteria. For GE students > 80%, they'll go for interview. For GE students < 80% & others who applied thru other domain, they'll sit for GAT.

As to whether there's shortlisting after GAT, then I'm not sure. I've been wondering, especially for sports & music talent, what if they do not pass GAT test but they're really talented? Isn't this unfair to them if they're not selected for the audition/trial?

I look at the $50 as an admin fee for processing your application, from sorting through your online application to administrating GAT and written tests, trials, auditions and interviews. So GEP students lose out because they pay $50 for just an interview? :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

As for sports and music talent, I know in some schools they go for their trials/auditions first and then on to GAT after. So essentially they do both. I don't think schools would dismiss a child from trials/auditions because they didn't do well in GAT. BUT, there are cases where after going through GAT and trials, a child is not given CO because his GAT wasn't strong enough. Which is fair enough bec if under-performance in GAT could indicate that the child may not be suited for the academic rigour of the school.
