I guess observing the students' behaviour helps? Also, I would also choose to speak to students who are not on open-house canvassing duties to get a feel of the general student cohort if they are around ... the marketing team would have been more prepared ... Then, find out what academic support is ...

My personal take away from having tried DSA to both NYGH and RGS, and having been through the rounds two years back, is that if the school is very confident that the candidate will be able to enter through PSLE T-Score, they might give the opportunity to another candidate whom they believe has poten...
