      So quiet today ?

      Gloomy weather all no mood to post ?
      Has NJC sent out the corrected email already ? with proper timing for the interview ?
      Ours is sent to Ds's email account so I can't check now.
      Just received this mail from NJC:

      Dear Applicant,
      Due to the technical error, the Interview Date given in the email notification sent to you on 12 August 2011 is not appropriate.
      Kindly ignore our email sent on 12 August 2011 on Phase 2B- Interview Session.
      A new email will soon be replaced.
      Please note that the 'Date for Interview' and 'Day Activity' are on the same day i.e 20 August 2011.
      Sorry for the inconvenience caused.
      Regards
      NJCAdmission Team

            Can any parents with past experience with HCI DSA please advise what does the languages test consists of? Writing or like MCQ test type? Thanks in advance

            As per info from DD2's classmate that had taken this year's HCI DSA languages test under phase 1:

            Duration for English language was 1 h 15 min consisting of:
            Graphic stimulus OE - 10 marks
            Comprehension OE - 10 marks
            Creative Writing - 30 marks

            Duration for Chinese language was 1 h 15 min consisting of :
            Composition (命题作文) Choose 1 out of 2 questions - 70 marks
            Comprehension OE - 30 marks

            Sorry, not sure of the minimum number of words required for the English creative writing & Chinese Composition (命题作文).

                  it won't be more difficult or less difficult

                  DSA is by absolute merit, not a matter of supply and demand, and there is no quota to fill;

                  and PSLE is a national ranking exam....so, as long as you are ranked ahead of others, you get to choose the schools first

                        Most of us received last Fri 12/8/11.
                        Email for the day activity and another email on the interview that was sent later after one respond to confirm attendance for the day activity.
                        They sent another email later on the interview
                        Got some problem with the interview emails as the date for the interview was put as 18/11/1999 or 1/11/1970 and NJC says they will resend another one.
