Hi,my DD is an EXCO Prefect in school.............but it is not stated in nygh's leadership column so we don't know which one to tick cos she is on the same 'level' with the head prefects or so they say on their school book.She didn't do quite well this SA,scored about 320+ she does not have any CCA's in school but she took Ballet exam from pre-primary to Grade 5 RAD she has distinctions from Grade 1-4 and for Grade 5,she missed distinction by a mark.She also took Piano exams but it wasn't very well done.Grade 1 Theory was distinction and for Grade 2-3 practical she had a merit.She has taken part in some English composition competition in Pri 5 but did not receive any thing.She did receive some handwriting awards but i don't think that helps.She is in mainstream and is about 3rd in class cos their class didn't do too well for SA too.i would lyk to know her chance into getting into nygh or rgs.tks!!:) :xedfingers:

As I mentioned in an earlier post, your dd's music and ballet exam results have no bearing on her DSA application unless she's applying via music or dance. CCA and academic-wise, she doesn't appear to have any outstanding awards either. It appears that the only domain she has in her favour would be leadership, but I don't know if that's enough to get her in to NYGH. I know of Head and Vice Head Prefects who were unsuccessful in their DSA applications. Your dd can of course give it a shot and if she does well enough in GAT may get called in for an interview. -

It's a personal statement. Write how you feel about the topic. -

Your DD must first sit for the GAT and get shortlisted. Then, according to RGS' DSA website, shortlisted applicants with special talents in the Academic and Visual Art Domain (depending on which domain your DD applies under) will attend half-day selection tests.
What is her special talent in the Academic domain? The common ones cited in this forum seem to be winning national if not international level competitions.
My personal opinion is that DSA is for those who have special talent which is defined by the school one applies to. Unless you want the DSA experience and do not mind managing the time required to prepare for it (hopefully not at the expense of prepping for PSLE), as well as the emotions (positive or otherwise) that come with it, the best route to top schools for consistent performers is still PSLE. -

the score is for CL or HCL ?
sorry it does not look very promising, but you can always apply under CL domain, try your best for GAT, hope to get into second round on selection test in CL ..... but was told the questions were very tough -
Eh CL.........not promising??? :yikes: what's promising then?izzit lyk 95+????
