We all putting RI out of our mind for the moment, concentrating on the selection test for NUSH this Sat.
Haven't submitted the DSA application for NJC yet. Really taking out time since closing is on 27/6/11.

But why do you say that \"DSA(Academic) is for students not doing too well in exams but have outstanding specific talents.\"?? Did you mean that then, or mean DSA(CCA) instead? How else does the \"specific talent\" come into play in DSA(Academic)?

See the DHS website for details. For DSA (academic) they will take into consideration of Special achievements in academic areas such as Mathematics, Science, Bicultural (BiCEP), Languages and Music Elective Programme (MEP). I am comparing it with the DSA(General).

The difference in their expectations not that great though. 80% vs 85%

Just called GAT in the morning. They claimed that they will send out the GAT test schedule by Wed this week. Most likely, we will receive it latst by 28 Jun. GAT tes at DHS has several time slot and they will schedule it respectively.

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?

GAT will send us an official receip thru mail and the schedule of the test will be indicate on it.

thanks!

BTW, the GAT test sounds intimidating eh? 100 questions in 1hour? Less than 1min for each question? Haha - my eldest son commented that it must be such a \"tikam\" test. *hehe*.
