      my ds told me that if he can score >83%, (as good as your ds), he'll only try 2 sch so that he'll not take up other CO. Trying 2 & not 1 is because there's no guarantee. However, if he gets < 80%, he'll try more since the chance of getting CO is much lower.


      The >83% may not be a quarantee also, if you are thinking of that particular boy school most of the boys wants to go to. Your kids got to be an octopus of all trades, some of these may be helpful to increase their chances: prefect, SO/MO high metal winners, leader in their CCA group, high achiever in some sports, music proficiency, number of visits for open house, natural public speaker, etc etc. Do we really have such a perfect kids? :scared:

      Does \"HD\" (perhaps HD for all subjects) in ICAS help?

      If there is no such \"perfect kids\", it may be they run thru the list and compare the kids for their limited place allocation. So the more they have the better? If not 83%, say, then above what % of academic result are the list of talent not required for GEP DSA?

            one of my DS classmate has been consistently getting > 90% for his p4 & 5 result. Just heard fm ds that he has gotten CO fm NUSH. He is one of the top 20 in 2011 NMOS.

              I know no guarantee even if > 83%. That's why need to apply for 2 DSA. Frankly speaking, I'm not thinking of that particular boy sch. I'm more inclined to the other boy sch. But seems like most of my ds's classmate are into that particular boy sch. So, obviously, my ds hope to follow them lor.

              So what is 'this' school and what is your 'that' school :evil: .... Security code yah .... πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜‰

                  Yes. I personally am aware of a few. So there must be more. Not just MGS.
                  are you aware of the reasons? too stressful?
                  like here everyone is fighting to be among the best...and yet there r people who gave up that 'status' when they r there.

                    Sounds like a future top PSLE scorer in the making.

                      That's one of the reasons.
