      Anyone know dsa process for dunman high?Like the interview questions , test for english or math or science ?ect.

      DHS has a GAT test - about 43 questions in an hour (I think). Questions involve patterns and logic. No English nor math involved. This test is very important, even for DSA via CCA.

      If you don't pass the GAT, you can still appeal into the school. Minimum for sports CCA is T-score of 245.

            book mark the NJC website and any DSA updates are posted there by the school

                  Yes, they assess every applicant as a whole package and not under any specific area alone.

                  There should be open houses in April - look out for announcements on website.

                    NJC has an entrance exam comprising a 3 hour High Ability Test that covers logic & English. There was also an interview session for shortlisted candidates. Don’t think there is DSA by CCA as far as I know.

                      Has anyone applied for SST? My DS is very keen on that school.


                      It is a 100% DSA, so any tips on how to prepare him for the same will be helpful..

                      Nothing much, really. Just follow what they require on their website. We didn't prepare anything with our son actually. Just go for the test and camp and wait to be selected.
