2014 PSLE Discussions and Strategy
-
According to the http://www.moe.gov.sg/media/press/2012/05/direct-admission-exercises-for-sec-sch-jc-poly.php, there are some 91 schools participating in the DSA exercise.
I'm not sure if most of them will be offering 'academic' DSA.
Just wondering, if your kid has been getting about 80% consistently, would you bother to try for acad DSA to a school with, say, 235~245 COP? -
My DD just completed her HMT today and after seeing this inspiring thread, I’m glad to have joined this wonderful forum. Btw my DS is taking his PSLE in 2014 too. Hope to get some tips from all of you.

If it is the school that my boy really likes and above 240, yes, I will try dsa . Then if offered CO and we accepted , I will pull the plug on his tuition and spend the time to teach him how to self learn as results are secondary now.According to the http://www.moe.gov.sg/media/press/2012/05/direct-admission-exercises-for-sec-sch-jc-poly.php, there are some 91 schools participating in the DSA exercise.

My niece did the above. She regretted later as she did better than expected in PSLE and could have join a better school. -
Of course, if one decide to take this option, he has to be firm that that is the school he wanted and not because he couldn’t go to the ‘other school’ he wanted to.
Secondly, once having decided, no more ‘what ifs’. Coz with the CO, not only the kid but also the whole family will be blessed with the much needed PEACE. Also, it may be coz of this PEACE that one eventually perform above expectation. In life, one can’t have everything, ya? Like what I said…forget the ‘what ifs’. -

Question: can a student apply into a SAP school if he/she did not take HCL? Alternatively, will the applicant be rejected or penalized if, having met COP but fail HCL? TIA -
