Do not fret if your child couldn’t make it to top schools either thru dsa or centralised posting.


Is still early, ultimately is A-level/IB/Diploma results that really matter definately not PSLE hor!

I think I know why DS's school the average for SAI is so low cos they add in social studies and divide by 5.

Then that is not fair right? Can't you re-calculate it yourself using 4 subjs during submission ? But wat if SS score is high? then submit using 5 subjs? :lol:

But can't be so many GEP stu/quote]
dents with SA1 ave above 80 per year right ?
Apparently DS's school only one this year.
So from 9 centre at most maybe 50 ?

Do you mean they refer to P6 SA1 result only? How about those who got P5 overall > 80% but P6 SA1<80%? Or P5 overall <80% and P6 >80%?

The DSA schools will calculate the percentage themselves based on their requirements so no worries about unfairness.

When we were filing up RI application form on line, we were asked to fill up only 4 subjects minus SS. Then the system automatically did the calculation for us showing the average % for the 4 subjects for each yr from P4-P6. I doubt RI take into account the grade for SS when computing the >80% grade.

It only refer to p6 first combine results which is ca1+sa1. My ds school work out the the percentage for the 4 subjects which are English, CL, Sci and Maths ( exclude HIgher mother tongue if any)

I wrote in to enquire if sa1 is less than 80% will be in wait list this is ri’s reply


"Thank you for the interest in Raffles Institution.

The reviewing committee with be looking at the overall results from Primary 4 to Primary 6, the interview results, the GAT results and all the achievements that he has provide in the application. At RI, we are looking an all-rounder, not someone who is just good in the academic area. Rest assure that we do not just look at the P6 SA1 results to determine the selection process.

Therefore, your son’s music and math talents will be part of the consideration. "

Hopefully the schools can see for themselves. I always submit the statistics together with the copies of the results, since the primary school doesn't give percentile or positioning stats. But at the same time, I think the pri school purposely sets difficult exam papers, so it's best for the schools that the kids are applying for to have the class/level stats to look at together with the report book results.
