DSA 2011

Hi yukilei,
The 80% is actually comes from ca1+sa1... And and some daily assignments took up some percentage of ca1 or sa1.
That is to say.. To get the 80% mark, your ds cannot only do well for his p6 gep sa1. Next yr, your ds should be given a list of the subjects ca, SA, da marks weightage. Nevertheless try to do well this yr too.
Good luck

vlim:
oh really??!!!!! Thot they usually don't have CA1?? I remember this year they only have CT, which start from end Apr & end by mid May. So, I consider this as SA1. So you mean next year they'll have both?Hi yukilei,

Emm ..sorry I think it is called ct also instead of ca. But p6 ct1 is around early march, just before the march 1week holiday... So is much earlier then p4&5 ct1. Sa1 is in may.

Any updates on NJC DSA? I've been checking my email as well as the mail box, but nothing so far... :nailbite: :xedfingers:
If no news today then will be next Wed already.
Don't think they can be so efficient to settle everything in 4 days.
And some of the interviews ended really late last Sat. -

:thankyou: LangMum. He's aware of the importance & I can see that he's trying to put in more effort in his study.

Here is where we look at an anchoring point in behaviour coaching in this case: The child originally wanted to be in HCI, and if he were to be in HCI and when the going gets tough, he would have got back to the anchoring point and re-evaluate his reasons for wanting to be in HCI, would most likely find strength and motivation to pick himself up again and try his best,and usually would succeed.
I agree with the moral of your story, ie try DSA only for your dream school. But I do wonder if the boy would have struggled in HCI too, as his results were good enough to secure him a place in either RI or HCI anyway.Otah:
Heard an interesting story in the past about how one mainstreamer end up landed in RI not to his desire. He dream school was HCI. Both RI and HCI rejected him at DSA but RVH accepted him. To be safe he accepted RVH DSA offer. When PSLE released he did well enough to go HCI and RI, so quickily went to appeal lor. Then RI accepted him and HCI put him on waiting list. Afraid that he ended nowhere to either of these schools, he took up RI. When he later struggle in RI, he regretted going for DSA.
Moral of the story : Try DSA only for your dream school, and focus on PSLE
When he went to RI, he was asked to go to RI for whatever reason, one possibility would be a \"victim\" mind when it got tough. Usual sign would be to blame whoever persuaded him to go to RI. Hence to get him on his foot again, counselling and coaching intervention is needed to pace him through this difficult time.
Just my thoughts.
