[quote=\"leeven\"]GEP RI DSA all complete ? I dont see any KP's msg's on it. I followed it till last 18th then no more I see please share your experience
Should have completed. My ds said it was just chit-chat, no tough questions. Now, just have to wait for the results patiently.
Understand this is a hint from my last year RI DSA experience. Quite a number of my DS classmates and friends got this remark and get rejected. -

Over at rgs, the interviewer told 3 girls after the interview that
they can eye big big walk into rgs.
The girls were shocked, wondering wat is the hidden messenge -

They usually begin with \"chi-chat\" questions to ease the tension of the kids. Some kids were really nervous but after they start talking, they become more relax. Then they start to ask more challenging questions. Ds kena a politic question of Singapore, luckily he likes to read the newspaper plus his knowledge thru SS.

Based on RI 2011 DSA result. GEP boys with SA1 less then 77.5% mostly rejected unless the boys with VERY special talent. 77.5% - 79.9% - WL. Most with 80% and above were given CO. However, some GEP boys with 80.x% were given WL.GoodDad:
[quote=\"leeven]
GEP and <80% is disadvantage cause hear it is mostly WL . if > 80% still RI is looking for some unique talent. Each domain has its own + / -
However, in the year of Dargon, understand that generally GEP SA1 result for 2012 were fairly good. Some even scored above 90%. Guess this year the cut off point for RI will be higher.
Agreed. But there are more boys then girls in GEP. To my understanding, all the GEP classes regardless of which year, The ratio are 2/3 boys and 1/3 girls. Average about 500 GEP students per year. 330 boys and 170 girls.
So most of the GEP girls will go to RGS, NYGH and a small number goes to NUSH and others(E.g NJC & DHS). As for boys, almost all will fight for a place RI and HCI(as 2nd choice). A small number will go to ACSI(ACS die hard fan) and NUSH.
In summary, to me the competition among the GEP boys are more tough. -

Phew! just feel off loaded from DSA thingy, but only got to recall there is still a SS test soon and school prelim. DS is feeling impatient that why he needs to be drilled again and again on those practice papers. Asked why can't they allow GEPpers tobe exempted from PSLE if they have achieved above 80% in the GE exam? :sad: Got to be tied down for two more over months before he can really move on.[/quote]And two more months to hang around after PSLE. Heard in the past those who got CO from NUSH already report to NUSH to kick-off enrichment program. Feel RI/RGS/NY/HCI who has the most DSA CO offers perhaps could do the same to engage the kids with CO first, perhaps do projects or something like that.

I remember one of my DS classmate, the interviewer directly told him, \"please work hard for your PSLE, you still have a chance to come into RI\" -

leeven,

As for DSA to RI/HCI/NUSH/RGS/NYGH, some might not decided which school to choose, how to start project? Some GEP students might have COs from more then 3 schools. -
anyone had idea what will RGS visual art domain test will be like?
