Hi Rains,Mama_10,
Don't lose heart! My kid's classmate told me she didn't pass even the first round of Gep screening at P3 but she dsa-ed into nygh via academic after sitting for the GAT test.
Thanks for yr encouragement
May i know how many question and the time allocated for the GAT ? do they need to take any other test other than GAT for Nanyang?
:thankyou: -
mama_10,
I am afraid I don’t have the answers to your questions. I vaguely remember the girl told me she had to sit for English and Maths papers as well as the GAT.
I was only interested in knowing how she managed to dsa into the school so I didn’t ask her about the time and number of questions. -
Getting through the GAT is only 1 of the hurdles. There was a girl who made it through to the interview session (sports) and was rejected as the interviewer assessed that based on her P5/6 results, she has a high chance to enter NYGH via S1 posting. Apparently, the school would rather reserve those limited DSA (sports) vacancies for athletes whom they assessed would have a low chance of entering via S1 posting.
Well… it turned out that the girl did well in PSLE and got in via S1 posting.
But what a waste of money, time and effort trying for DSA ! -
Hi Rains,

Hi mama_10,
Nanyang’s GAT is conducted by Principals Academy. You probably can find out the details about the GAT from the PAI site. -

I know not all IP schools require GAT, they have internal exams on English and Maths instead. -

Do they actually give u a reason why they reject you? That's not very common.Getting through the GAT is only 1 of the hurdles.

I'm not so sure about the school rejecting sports students with high academics but take in sports students with low academics? I think what really matters would be who can get that medal for the school. And there is no assurance that these students would apply for NYGH when they get their results.
I've know some students who were rejected by NYGH during DSA, they went to RGS with their results. Their theory, well, NYGH rejected them 1st... :sad: -
