        For SCGS, after GAT, there will be a trial/audition in mid-July.


        Only shortlisted candidates will be invited for interview.

          Actually it is not bad. There is no per subject GPA but an overall GPA. An overall of 3.8 to 3.9 usually comes about when the student has gotten all
          \"A\" and Maybe 1 or a few \"A+\". Average GPA is around 3.2 to 3.5 generally. So 3.8+ is above average lah. Only cannot consider as among top student. Not unusual to have some students who are top in individual subjects among this group too. More indicative to look at their percentile than just GPA I find.
          So GPA 3.8 is about about 68% overall. What kind of percentage do you need to score for subjects to score A/A+?

            As mentioned on other threads you posted this on, RGS does NOT offer DSA via Dance nor Ballet.

                It's percentile, not percentage that I was talking about. Eg. you could get 75%, which is an A, but the child is the top student bc the assessments were all very difficult, so his/her percentile would be 100th. I would be happy to see that as opposed to just the raw grade. It's like PSLE, yah?

                Generally students with 3.8 to 3.9GPA would have grades all minimum A, so means they have between 70-85% for most of their grades.

                  πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜‰[/quote]Certified true copy is not only compiling hard copy to submit. Need to send to your pri sch admin with original copy to stamp and sign. Sometimes, admin will tell you quite some task to do, and to collect another day.

                  Just a note: better to send in more copies to sign in case of future need, else you need to run again. # of copies should be at least = to number of schools you apply via DSA.

                      haha - I prepared everything nicely for the school office to certify, and thot to leave that fat file there and collect the next day. But the lady preferred to do it there and then. Oh well. Anyway, actually we only needed 1 set of certified true copies. *hehe*.
