Hi all,

looking at DSA via sports.... to be specific, badminton. anyone knows which sec sch accept DSA via badminton?

You can check out those schools who were zonal champs or national's QFinalist/Sfinalist...

Err.....where can i hv that info ?

Need a little advise here. Anyone tried DSA via uniformed groups? Is it advisable since child will need to commit 4 years of CCA involvement? Btw, I am not talking about DSA to top schools, but one near to my home. Reason being I am not sure will DS meet the cut off point (224 & up) for the sch as his results fluctuates.

Can someone help facilitate what is the free response task? Any word limit and how long is the timing? in English only? Any example of topics of past years?

Does getting a platinum in SMOPS gaurantee a CO in HCI? Let's say if a child gets platinum in SMOPS but overall school result only average, let's say 75-79% for GEP student. What is the chance of getting a CO?

Think so... guess smops helps many vendors make good revenue in recent years. Heard it is quite expensive (a training package can cuase >$2K!!! ). What if those who can't afford the training? They only has PSLE no chance for DSA to HCI .... :sad:

not all who goes for smops training will get platinum, it is a matter of aptitude

not having smops does not been no chance with hci dsa - good results in all 4 subjects will get in too - no cca result to show even ....

It does not guarantee a CO in HCI but good chance. HCI has their own selection criteria. I think interview is the important factor. Ds' s classmates, one of the top GEP student in the school, was only given a waitlist offer but CO from RI 2 yrs ago.
