        Depends on the colour of the award and which school you are aiming. If SMOPS platinum/gold, better chance at NYGH. If silver and bronze, not much advantage. If you are aiming for RGS, all girls must go through GAT then go through Math domain selection tests. No guarantee.
        Not sure about NUSH and other schools.

        In 2008 batch (current sec 3), heard SMOPS platinum were given tea session to join NUSH. They might or might still have to go thru the camp which could be free for them.

        But for 2011batch, Smops platinum also get reject from nush, lor. But interestingly RI offer . :)[/quote]For 2009 batch, SMOPS platinum was rejected by RGS and accepted by NUSH. πŸ˜„

Used to be that SMOPS Platinum would be assured of a place in RI/HCI/NUSH. Then it became an offer by NUSH but rejected by RI. Now not even an offer by NUSH but possibly RI. Guess SMOPS is no longer the golden ticket and you have to get SMOJ.

                      may be if your DS enrols in HCI then they give you the original, meanwhile just the photostat copy to inform you only lor

                        Parents whose kids applied for NJC DSA, have you received the HAST test report ?

                        Just like to know is the ranking against the same cohort that took the NJC HAST test ?
                        Or is it against the general population that took the ACER HAST test ?
