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

And remind him not to get complacent even if he gets very good results for P5.
Mine did exactly that after getting good results for his P5 SA2 and P6CT1/CA1 and his P6 SA1 marks really suffered.

Now DSA results for all the independent IP schools are out.

Only left NJC, DHS, RVH, all government schools.......

Phone call with good news for my boy first thing this morning. Nothing so exciting, not premier school, but comforting news nevertheless. I thought not to let him know so he won't be too \"proud\" of himself, but got to go for meeting tomorrow. ;(

:congrats: phankao & DS on his CO from his dream sch.

[quote=\"vlim\"]my ds said 2 of his classmates received rejection letter from HCI... so not geppers HCL dsa applicant got CO..

My Ds said his senior received rejection letter too. But his score is < 80%. How abt ur Ds's classmates?

Hi Yukilei,

My DS score is 79.xx and he received WL for RI, and rejection for HCI and ACSI. The same for some of his classmates with <80%.

So your earlier question on whether Gepper with < 80% stands a higher chance in ASCI or HCI compared to RI, the answer is 'No'.

To prepare your DS, make sure he get >80%...[/quote]Hi LangMum,
:congrats: on your DS's WL from RI. Hopefully, it'll become a CO. Good luck. :xedfingers:

My DS Chinese so-so only. When I heard that part of the interview was conducted in Chinese, I thought liao coz he jiap kantan. But surprisingly he still got CO from them.

phtthp:

if a child struggle can't cope in RI, can he exit IP programme in RI, and switch back to take O level ?


or he got to transfer to another Secondary school ?

RI does not offer \"O\" Level programme. I've heard of a kid having to transfer out to another school due to inability to cope with IP programme.

should know by end of year one whether can cope in the RI IP or not
