DSA 2011

Hi


Need advice:

Understand that CCA helps in the application for DSA.
In the event if the student is not successful in the application for DSA, does the CCA still help in the application for secondary school after PSLE result release?

Thanks

If a child is unsuccessful in DSA, then he will be posted via S1 posting exercise based on his PSLE aggregate, with no bearing on CCA achievements. Of course if his T-score meets his preferred school's criteria (eg min. cutoff for CCA, eg. DHS is 245, NY 250??), then he can still try to appeal to the school with the CCA. This of course depends on how important the CCA is to the school, whether CCA team still has vacancies, whether school has vacancies, etc.

Hi,


Need advice please…

With so many schools offering DSA these days, how do one assess which school(s) to try DSA for your child? Short of knowing the PSLE score, how do a parent assess where your own child stand among the whole cohort to set realistic goal/school?

If non-GEP DSA, then your child should have some sort of national ranking/placings, or national awards, etc.

if that is the result for a GEP student, high chance; and bear in mind RI also requires you to include P4, P5, and P6 SA1 results

By the way I am not gep[/quote]that seems tough to get RI via DSA

you got to work extra hard to prove yourself at PSLE. get at least 260 and go via S1 posting
