In this case, can my gal still try to apply for DSA? or totally cannot apply at all?


or just apply and see if she will be selected for interviews etc?

Please advise.

Thanks!

This is what you need to ask the schools concerned, not us. We can't comment for the schools. If your dd is for eg. working on Grade 6 or even grade 8 for example (no other exam certificates to show for), you can ask her teacher to write a letter to certify. But that is as far a solution I can think of for your case.

Was your daughter a key member of your String Ensemble also? That could help, plus a Testimonial from her String conductor/instructor or School CCA Teacher-in-charge.

So much more difficult to be a parent these days compared to our parents' time, especially in terms of studies.

True true..

verykiasu2010:

definitely \"managing expectation\" is crucial, especially when the DSA result is out. (1) not to allow the kid's confidence to be shaken / shattered, and also (2) don't let the kids become too proud and cocky ending up with below expectation for PSLE score after getting confirmed offers via DSA

Absolutely true.

Yes, she is still having her weekly violin lesson and preparing to take her Grade 7 exam next year as she needs to focus on PSLE this year.


My DD is the key member of the school string ensemble and is the longest member as she joined at P1. CCA typically apply for P3 onwards.

I have requested for a testimonial from her school CCA teacher-in-charge.

My dd wants to go to their open house so i will make some enquiry then.

Then ask her violin teacher to write a letter to certify that she is currently working on Grade 7.

Anyone had experience on NJC dsa, can share about their ability test. I read from their website applicant needs to take their ability test. to find out more about NJC ability test.


Quote from website:
All applicants will be selected to participate in Selection Phase 1.
The Ability Tests will comprise the followings: Mathematical Reasoning, Reading Comprehension and Abstract Reasoning. Candidates have to sit for all the tests on the same day.

Thanks for any sharing.
