Actually if doesnt score well for PSLE and get in to a good school via DSA, it is also a suffer to the kids. This is what happen to my colleague's son. He was WL to NUSH and scored 232 for PSLE. He received CO when collecting his PSLE results and now he was at the borderline for most of the subject and worst was made to stay for extra lessons after school and on saturday.
Agree with you vanilla mum. Just told my colleague that if my DS did not get selected by NUSH & even if he's PSLE result qualify for NUSH, I might not want him to go there. This is because if NUSH think that he has the capability, they would have chosen him during DSA. With such an accelerated prog, it'll be tough for him to cope.
Hi Yukilei, best wishes to your DS, who knows he may score very well and get in RI :rahrah: -

NUSH is a specialized independent school, as are SOTA and Singapore Sports School. They're for those who are very talented in their fields. And yes, everyone in NUSH does an accelerated programme in Math and Science compared to the other schools. A few exceptional students even do university modules.[/quote]orrhhh...ok...gotta find out more tomorrow lah...tks
huh?!....u mean all nush students have to take the accelerated prog har?cylg:

That's why I say that there are likely to be more students struggling at the higher levels at NUSH compared to other top IP schools, because of NUSH' accelerated programme.

From the slide, it showed that more than 50% of their year 6 students (I remembered the number was 90+ because my DS commented that was very high based on their yearly cohort of <160) actually take on university modules! Very impressive!

This snail mail waiting is driving me and my ds crazy. I think I will have weak heart after the DSA thingy! :stompfeet:
Didnt sleep well last night and cannot tahan anymore, so called RI this morning about not receiving the letter.
A very patient lady answered my enquiries, she said that letters will be send out in batches and by next Friday everyone should received theirs (WL, CO or Reject). I also enquired whether those received earlier are for GEP and above 80% only. She said NO and letters were sent out in batches, RANDOMLY. Hope she is not trying to console me.
The P mentioned that around 225 places for DSA with 80% for GEP. This should worked out to be around 180 places. I think there must be more that 180 boys who scored above 80% for SA1 since there are more boys than girls in GEP. So does it mean that below 80% chances extremely slim?
Based on last few years records, any boys who scored below 80% and was offered CO/WL? Any parents care to share? Thanks. -
