        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 ?

              Yes, me too. 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.
              I think nowadays the sec sch do not accept based on these Maths Olympiad awards anymore. This MO is more related to academic, and if it is academic, they might as well wait for your overall PSLE score. Afterall, they want someone outstanding in all subjects and not one subject only!

                    Yah judging by HAST results released by NJC, even if you are in the top 5% of the HAST test you will not secure a place if you don’t meet whatever other criteria they are looking for.

                    By releasing the HAST results they may make some already upset parents even more upset.

                        πŸ˜„ Agreed. It seems that now if the students do not have the specific talent that the schools are looking for, the schools would rather wait to admit them based on T-score.
