I think you are quite spot on about the range of marks.

My DS did not do well in one subject (in his own word). His marks ranged from 70 to 100.

He is behind some of his classmates

Wow got 100 marks! For which subject? I thot full marks days are only in primary sch and quite impossible in sec 1, esp RI! Is your DS in GEP class?

My son did worst that, he only scored 45. Finding it difficult to squeeze out time on weekdays to teach him or send him for tuition classes. On week ends he is always occupied with projects n homework. Does your child have this similar issue?

how about other subjects ?

Ya can everyone share what the average marks their Sec1 DS got for Term1 cos looking at my DS results, I can't tell whether it is considered gd enough since it is really diff fr primary sch where most subjects' scores are above 90. Also, there is not ranking of positions so we don't know how our DS is performing in comparison to their classmates? My DS in gen score like abt 70 except for Eng scored 65. Is 65 for Eng v bad? Can someone fr those GEP classes also comment on their ave results?

Yes. My DS is offered cellist post. He has to source for a cello tutor and I hv to pay for his weekly lessons costing approx $100 per hr. The cello will be lent to him for 4 years though. However, some seniors told him that they buy their own instruments to avoid lugging the bulky instrument to n from school. Apparently, those who are taking double bass classes are subsidized. What instrument is ur DS learning?

My DS is also offered Cello. So did you get the tutor from one of the list of music centres recommended or you go to other music centre? Do you attend lesson at the music centre or does the tutor visit your home?
I have not enrolled him for lesson yet? Are they supposed to start lesson asap?

naggo-nitemare:

DS got into rv but after further consideration, he decided to join rise. Tks for asking.

My DS is in String emsemble. Is it true u have to take private lessons outside for the new instrument that you are assigned to? So on top of the regular CCA time, you have to schedule time for private lessons?

[quote=\"sandradeeSo now my son has got all offers from the 3 schools that he went for DSA-RI, HCI & ACS(I) :lol: So, not true that mainstream students don't usually get DSA. (Plus my son only fr neighbourhood school)

Hopefully this will be an encouragement to students in mainstream for future DSA, that schools do not just favour GEP students. It really boils down to your performance at the selection tests.

A big Congrat !

So what is your domain for RI DSA ? Which are CO and any WL? What are your choice of preference then ?[/quote]

He tried domain in Science. All CO no WL. Definitely going for RI.

Ykiasu:

Did anyone from mainstream receive CO from ACS(I) yet? My friends say they didn't hear anything from the school? :?

Wait has ended!
Got a call from ACS(I) that my DS has been 'shortlisted' and to meet the Principal at 9am on Saturday
No email or postal mail, yet.

My son fr Mainstream also got call fr ACS(I) on Thursday and has to attend talk at 9am on Sat. where they will then give the letter of offer for DSA.
