      You mean both schools had the exact same 60 questions but one paper was 60min, the other 20min? How interesting.
      Yeah, When My Gal Told Me, I'm Surprise Also ....

        I hope your gal got to do the 60min one first, and then when she did her 20min one, she will be faster as she has seen questions before! :evil:

          Then I think your gal did v well for the 20 mins one . Were all gals who applied for both as lucky as yours having the same two session within a week? Is this GAT only for GEP ?
          Like I Say Before, Don't Know the Score, So Don't Know Good or otherwise ....
          I Personally Know of Quite a Number of Gals (Non-GEP) apply for both sch, under academic Domain (Quite Natural Choice for DSA, I think) ....
          By the Way My Gal from Non-GEP Sch .... 😉 😉

            I'm sure there will be some (or many?) parents who will protest about it and the most likely outcome would be that the school would take the first GAT test result.

            I have enquire on this Double GAT Test with RGS during the Submission stage.
            RGS has Specifically highlighted that their GAT TEst is Not the Same as the ones taken in other schools, and Other GAT test Results R not considered nor Accepted by them.

              Last time heard RI and HCI used to take the same GAT from civil service college, so if the kid apply both the other one automatically know (wonder how they knew) and email to the kid that they will take it from the other school. But this year, am hearing so many duplication.

              because you need to indicate what are the schools you DSA for when you sit for GAT, then they will send result to all schools you indicated in the test

              Now the Practice is Different ....
              RI / RGS Hold their Own GAT Test and No Longer Share ....

                NYGH GAT and RGS GAT cannot be exactly the same lah. Maybe similar, but I cannot imagine how they can be the same since the administering agency for the test is different?

                Well I Also Don't think So at first ....
                But My Gal Told Me, \"100% the Same!\"

                  That's one revenue-generating machine! I wrote earlier that in 2008 I was called up two days before RI GAT asking my ds1 not to go down to take the GAT as he had already taken at HCI. But then, they never refunded me and the $50 paid had gone to...?
                  Interesting! Money Paid for 2 tests but take once Only?
                  U Should have complain to Consumer Association!
                  Ha Ha .... :lol: :lol:

                    Admin fees - paying for the admin to look through your application, conduct interview... PLUS deter people from applying to too many schools when they're not serious about all of them. :evil:

                    Errrrrrrrr ....
                    Thought the $50 GAT Test Fees is separately charged from the Admin Fees?
                    At Least the One from NYGH say So - $30 Admin + $50 for GAT Test ....

                    By the Way, RGS Charge a Flat $50 for Admin (inclusive of GAT Test) ....
