[quote]If you have read last 2 years posts you will understand that RI only issue CO(confirm offer) for those GEP boys with P6 SA1 result above 80%. (last year there were students who scored 80.x only offer a WL)


In summary, if a GEP boy P6 SA1 result between 77.5% - 80%, most likely he will be offer a WL(Waiting List). Below 78% most likely will be rejected.

How about the GEP girls? Any \"cut-off\" for successful DSA to RGS/NYGH? Seems that many GEP girls have done quite well, so will the benchmark be pushed up to 80+%?[/quote]There is no benchmark. Generally, if you score <80%, you'll have to sit for GAT. If you score >80%, you may not need to sit for GAT and may proceed directly to the interview stage. At this stage, whether you're offered a CO or not depends on how well you do in the interview. Scoring >80% doesn't guarantee you a CO.

But score <77% very slim chance.

Base on last 2 -3 years DSA result. To what I know, none GEP students who scored <77% gotten a CO from RI who applied via the GEP domain.

So GEP's parent, be prepare and set expectation right.

Thank you Herbie, GoodDad and jtoh .


Will probably sit down with DD to send in the online application for RGS tonight, since deadline is this Friday (for GEP domain). Then just hope for the best.

So the SA1 result mentioned is based on the combined of CA plus SA1 result or the SA1 result alone?

SA1 for GEP is the result of the first 6 months. It is printed in the report books.

First combined marks = SA1 marks

Am I right to say that no point for mainstream students to try academic DSA, even their SA1 result is 90% & above? They will not be given a chance to sit for the test nor interview? Academic DSA is for GEP students only. Mainstream students could only apply for Sport DSA.

There is no academic DSA at RI, mainstreamer has to indicate a domain of their talent, be it maths, science, sport or language .
