Hi Belle, DD took her GAT at RGS on 5 Jul, btw she is not GEPer, she is from the mainstream. I just received email from RGS today. Hope you will receive yours soon too


DD is trying for academic English, anyone out there knows abt the test details? what's literary appreciation (one of the test topics) about ?

Hello,
I think some kind mums have shared about the English and Science half a day selection test some time ago as this 23 Jul selection will be the second and last test.
Thank-you.

Cheers,
Belle.

If your dd doesn't have exceptional ability in a particular subject or CCA, then you should consider giving DSA a miss and focusing on PSLE instead. Your dd's results are good and she'll be able to get into a good school based on her PSLE results.

Bear in mind that DSA isn't for everyone. It's for students demonstrating EXCEPTIONAL ABILITY OVER AND BEYOND their peers. The trend now is for parents to think that DSA is a must. It isn't. And schools will advise students who are overall strong in all subjects but not exceptional in any one subject to forget DSA and focus on PSLE.

Hi margaret'

Everyone's asking about DSA n when will we apply for her, I remembered vividly saying, wat DSA as my DD has nothing to call for it. But this year, I think she is one of those with the most DSA, she set thru 3 GATs , got thru 2 n waiting for the last one which she sat on the 16 July. She is mainstreamers. 3 by CCA, one academic and another by TA. Is your DD good in singing? She can join choir next year? I noticed that she has good results, can consider academic application, bear in mind n make it clear to her thAt with her marks she will do well for her PSLE but going thru DSA is an insurance and experience that only P6 has the privilege. So if it happens that she do not go thru any DSA, she will not be despondent. My DD really enjoys the process..... :imcool:

But mum can't wait for the outcome!

Hi margaret

Is your DS from GEP?If yes, then just maintain the above result should be no problem. She will get into any IP school without much problem.

If not you might want to focus on PSLE

Just curious. Why does she have both Chinese and HCL marks. I thought each student either takes Chinese or HCL?

[margaret]

Thks for the reply. My girl is not GEP and she is not good in any CCA. She was interested in handbell but her school’s choir, handbell, gym, netball. Most CCAs are for selected students only.It looks like my girl has no choice but just focus on PSLE results.

Hi, With rdgs to her chinese & HCL marks, I have no idea, it was in the report book(SA1).
