DSA 2012

papertree:

[The group that attended interview and English test are via Academics.

Interview 8 - 10am. 2 teachers to 1 pupil.
DD said English test quite difficult.

The group that only took the English are via CCA. They already had their auditions in early July so no need for interview.

I saw 3 colour stickers - orange, green and blue.
My dd belonged to the green sticker group, the one with only english test, no interview. Orange sticker belonged to the the group with english test and interview. What's blue ?

My dd said the english test ok.[/quote]


DD blue sticker via Academics, interview and test. All her classmates blue sticker. U sure that orange sticker does interview and english test?

Ur dd under sports or performing arts?
What time did ur dd do the english test?[/quote]

My DS got blue sticker and is under academic. Interview 8am to10am and English test to 10.30am. (actually finished earlier around 10.15am). He claimed that English test was not easy.[/quote]

Yes. There were 2 separate rows during registration and the sign indicated english test only (green) or english test and interview (orange). My dd under performing arts. Registration started at 9.30am and test supposedly at 10am but started late. Ended around 10.40am instead of 10.30am. I saw the group of blue stickers came out around 10.15am.

So the earlier batch only have 1 blue colour sticker?

Whitety,

So your dd is under CCA? What CCA? My dd didn't receive any news after audition, so I presumed no more hope liao....[/quote]Hi underthesea,

Think i remember you. I've pm you.

Don't think it's cca specific, more like all in as the group is not that small.

Hi KSmon8


Were there many academic students with orange stickers? So u did test first then interview. What time did u finish?

DD said the teacher was expecting 160+ kids for the first session blue sticker but not all turned up.

Wow morning plus 2nd session plus CCA abt 300 kids shortlisted?

Classmate mother told me during open hse Principal said DHS taking in 210 via DSA.

So what’s our chances of getting a CO?

Good luck everyone

[quote=\"ruohoo97\"]Just to share about MSG IP interview, it was individual (unlike NYGH and RGS) interview with two teachers, they have two panels conducting interviews together. Besides questions listed on letter, they also asked \" what is recent news that has caught your attention?\" \"What is your goal for life?\"


My DD was in Olympic fever, she replied \"Feng Tian Wei won bronze medal\" for the first question and to the second question she replied \"To represent Singapore in Olympic\". Quite epic, the teachers were all laughing.

The whole process was last about 15 minutes. Do remember to bring a jacket as the library is quiet cold.

wow sounds like your dd enjoyed the interview! All the best ruohoo97!

Thank you. Breeze. The same to your DC.[/quote]Thanks ruohoo97!

Perhaps fellow KSP can undate.

Glad my son has completed all his DSA and even prelims. Now wait for results and PSLE oral.

DS registered at 9.30am, test at 10am, then wait for interview. Interview ended about 12noon. Don't know how many applicants in later group but DS said that the auditorium where they took test was quite full. Some did not turn up. Difficult to gauge how many short listed applicants cos there are many DSA domains. DS applied under academic ( general ).

Gd luck to yr DC.
