Share an interesting finding by my DS, however, am not sure if his anlaysis is correct. During the RI interview, the boys are seated in row of 3. He happened to be seated in the center. He discovered that the boy seated on his right has higher score than him & the one on the left score lower than him. So being curious, he checked with his classmates who had gone for RI interview and guess the position that they were arranged & his guessed was correct.


He told me that he had been hearing abt RI grouping their students by results. He then jokingly said that they even do so for interview session.

You mean the attendance sheet comes with their result?

hmm...may be,haha... but on what purpose leh? interview is talking wat,... may be their master namelist is sorted and affect the others' arrangement, but does not mean anything lor. Then does it mean those went for interview on the first day has the highest result?

nope, it's just within the row. Not necessary first day with highest result cos his classmates with higher score had the interview after him. But i agree that this does not mean anything. Just that he find it funny if it's true cos RI is so result oriented in that sense.

[quote=\"Kiasucy\"]You mean RI/RGS? How about HCI/NY? Any GEPpers not shortlisted for DSA?


In GoodDad's case it seems that GEPper with SMOPS and school team player does not help in the HCI DSA (am assuming his ds applied for HCI?) or could his interview/test the main cause ?

Yes, My DS applied for HCI. Silver award in SMPOS was nothing, hundreds of them out there. School team player did not help either. I guess not becuase of the interview/test, DS interview session lasted for almost 40mins and the interview was done both in English and Chinese. It was the SA1 result was the most important factor.

My DS classmate, has nothing outstanding in his profile. SA1-83%. COs from RI, HCI, ACSI and NUSH.

GoodDad what other school U applied other than HCI. how was your DSA experience. NUSH I am sure dont see % .[/quote]My DS applied for RI, HCI and ACSI.

Now dat Yukilei brought up d seating arrangement according to results,
I wondered too r results a basis for timing of interview dates?
Wat I noticed on d day of my DS's interview, each group of three was fr different schools.

Heard some GE girls score above 90%, how about the boys? Wonder what are the mean, medium and max among them. Dun think we will ever know.

My DS and 2 kids know each other and they are MO specific. the other 2 kids >80% and mine <80%. My DS friend who is toooo good in MO was next day interview.
