DSA 2012

papertree:

RI has selection camp for mainstream pupils who passed GAT test in July, please check with the school.

Oh i see. The dates I've quoted is for GEP students. In this case, maybe no selection test for GEP students. My DS is also planning to apply for RI & NUSH. So I thought may clash. If so, then will tell him to just apply one of them. Thks for the clarification.

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

Any idea about the entrance test...

For English, are the questions from literature or the other topics such as grammer, vocab etc.?

For Science are the questions are sec 1 and 2 topics ? as different schools have different topics.

For maths is it Algebra or other math related topics?

If anyone entered through Year 3 DSA for RI plz advice how my son could prepare for it!

Thanks in advance!!!! :?: :?: :?: :?:

Any body can help .

* 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.
