Junglezoo:

I am not trying to boast but i completed allt he questions. The thing is that the middle questions are the hardest ones so you must try to move on and do those you do not know last.

Sound Advice, Junglezoo!

[quote=\"RSS\"]Nus high, that should translate to 15% short listed for camp and eventually only 6% of all the dsa applicants will get co. Numbers is scary! Better not be too analytical!

Check status at their website for selection for camp is still pending.
Roughly when will the results be known ?

RSS says got to pay for the selection camp by 19 July, so it should be near right?[/quote]Last year around 10 or 12/7.
Only give one week to pay and last year initially their credit card payment system got problem.
Anyway NUS High everything should be over by 13/8 since that's the day for the tea reception.

Edureach:

Better to show you are real cool or at least pretend that you are so that your kids will more likely perform up to expectations be it interview, tests ot trials. If you show too much anxiety, your kids can feel it and might affect their performances.


Let the schools call you than you chasing after them.

Thanks for your advice

Hi TREX8

Thank you again for sharing.

Not to worry, Your DS is GEPers with >80% for SA1, right?

Base on the number of GEP girls and the number of intake for RGS and NYGH. Most of them will be able to get a CO from either school. Not to worry, your DS stand a high chance to get CO from both schools.

RGS and NYGH both Gal Sch ....
No DS can be Admitted -le ....

Paiseh, super busy day yesterday, only got time to share share now.


Setting:
2 interviewers to 3 girls. Style is Q&A. Interviewers on one side, 3 girls seated side by side on the other side. Interviewer asked one question, each girl took turn to answer that question, with some prompting from either interviewers when needed). Basically, like what my DD said - like taking an Oral Examination...
[We were expecting a more chit chat like session as I thought that would be more spontaneous, but anyway ...]

Woah. This reminds me that when one of the jobs I applied for in my final year in the university, there was a group interview. I think there were at least 20 of us shortlisted and in the room together. And they just asked us questions down the line! Scary when you have all the others watching and listening to you. *hehe* I was one of the 3 selected for the final interview from that and finally offered the job, but I didn't take up the offer, so they offered another. But I think the whole process was fun. Cannot imagine this type of interview for a 12yo though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
