Hi,

Anyone has experience on their 双语课程? Better than their standalone subject?

[quote=\"jasmine4\"]GAT is for students applying for Secondary schools through DSA. The discussion here is mainly targeting at the P6 students. Certain schools will require students to take the general ability test and the follow by interview or sports trial etc. It is not selected by teachers to go for the test.

Thanks for the reply, Jasmine. So it is open to all P6 students who are interested to apply for DSA?

As long as the P6 students who meet the criteria set by the secondary school they are applying for DSA may apply.[/quote]Thanks Nibbermind, JJ111,
That means we have to call the secondary schools up to check on their DSA requirements before applying? How to find out the date for submitting the DSA application?

[quote=\"baobei\"]Can we just let child take GAT without prep?

There's nothing to prepare for GAT.

Just sleep early the night before and have a good healthy meal before the test.

Agree with gancheongmommy. There is really nothing much to prepare for GAT.
General ability should be something that the child accumulate over the years. It cannot really be prepared overnight.

But you can visit the website below to get some general information about GAT and things related to DSA. Quite informative.

Which primary level do the kids have to sit for GAT? Are your kids selected by the teacher to go for it?

Maths Tutor Mr. Lim:

case 1

P5 CA1 results, don't use p4 SA2 result
eng 60
chinese 60
science 60
maths 60

rough estimate t-score = 0.75 (60 + 60 + 60 + 60)
= 0.75(240)
=180

242 - 180 = 62

case 2
P5,P6 CA1 results (or SA1, CA2, SA2, Prelim)
eng 80
chinese 80
science 80
maths 80

rough estimate t-score = 0.75 (80 + 80 + 80 + 80)
= 0.75(320)
= 240

242 - 240 = 2

Hi,
I see... Thanks very much for detailed elaboration.

Maths Tutor Mr. Lim:

Kiasu parents must know (part 2).


Dream School : Nan Chiau High School 2014 COP 242, 4 yr express only

case 1
P5 CA1 results, don't use p4 SA2 result
eng 60
chinese 60
science 60
maths 608

rough estimate t-score -> 0.75 (60 + 60 + 60 + 60) = t-score 180 (+-10)

242 - 180 = 62 need to work very hard; like mission impossible; don’t dream :slapshead:

case 2
P5,P6 CA1 results (or SA1, CA2, SA2, Prelim)
eng 80
chinese 80
science 80
maths 80

rough estimate t-score -> 0.75 (80 + 80 + 80 + 80) = t-score 240 (+-10)

242 - 240 = 2 still need to work very hard :rotflmao:

Hi,
Can further elaborate how to calculate the t- score?
How come eg1 and eg2 formula differs --180 vs 240?
T-score 240 (+-10) = t-score × 240 × (+-10)?
How to determine the t-score? :?
