Is it true that GEPers do not need to take part in any GAT or interview for DSA at DHS? But do they get 100% direct entry during DSA if they apply?

According to DHS website , http://www.dhs.sg/list-of-dsa-domain-criteria.html

For DSA (General) and the criteria is as follows:
Students who attained 85% or higher score (or 75% or higher score for Gifted Education Programme students) for average of P5 Overall and P6 Mid-Year Examination or its equivalent.

They have a separate domain call DSA (Academic) and the criteria is as follows:
80% or higher score (or 70% or higher score for Gifted Education Programme students) for average of P5 Overall and P6 Mid-Year Examination or its equivalent and Special achievements in academic areas such as Mathematics, Science, Bicultural (BiCEP), Languages and Music Elective Programme (MEP).

Here is my take: the DSA (Academic) is for students not doing too well in exams but have outstanding specific talents. The General domain is outright good academic results.

Wah, you really call, har? Thank you. ;D

We'd booked it and paid online and had the confirmation and all, so I guess the confirmation of details for the test time will also be by email?

They also have DSA for CCA
