DSA 2012

daddy_psp:
Based on last year result for RI DSA, my DS class-mate who was in GEP and scored 79.9x for SA1, need to take GAT test and awarded a WL.Does anyone know how strict is RI with the 80% decision of whether a GE kid needs to take GAT or not?
I mean if the overall score is 79.x%, is there a chance that RI might waive the GAT?
TIA -

* from past posts I see <80% no chance regardless of certs you have . but any body have got CO in RI who has <80%. I dont want to be in WL and take risk unless I dont have any CO for other schools.
daddy_psp . we are in same boat I think but I dont exact 79.xx (waiting for report card). We asked the admin team during open house. Even if it 79.9 still have to sit for GAT.
Yes, you are right.
To what I know, based on last year result, none GEP boys who scroed below 80% gotten a CO from RI. Few of my DS classmates scored 79.xx were only awarded a WL.
Understand some GEP students who scored 80.xx were only awarded a WL.
However, I guess there might has some special cases. The GEP boys might have some special talent that RI is looking for and award them CO. -
What school is your DS from ?

as a guide, the yr 1/2 are using O level physics / chem / bio / geog text. as for math, the texts are still brand new and they rely on teachers' notes
just in case any gap in expectation
as for ELA and HCL, don't think the test will be any easier than the Sec 1 DSA selection test
you can try to find out any difference on what has been covered in ACS(I) -

the GAT is at least to sieve out those who got a chance, and to test them further by selection test. else is a worse waste of time to get everyone to sit for selection test and just ended up staring at ceiling

Any feedback for ACS (I) IP.
* how difficult is HAST.
* Any samples other than what school gave us when registering.
* is it just HAST results alone or certs also they look.
* How difficult is the DSA process. Any past experienced parents here , please please help.
* How many students are selected and CO given to them (past few years)and how many accepted it. -

I agree but but if they put / change their rules published \"students >80% for GEP category given first preference\" or they can say \"GEP students <80% apply via other domains\" . GEP students dont have selection test , only GAT then interview.

i think only the GAT is MCQ; yr 3 DSA competes with overseas scholars
