If the contest is registered thru school and reflected in report book, considered school-based and automatically shared per pt (4)
Personally, I have to admit that for my girl’s submission last year, I was in kiasu mode filling the form. As we applied for both art and leadership, it was a like complete resume including arts, music, talent competitions, sports, debate, leadership/community activities etc. maybe max 15-20% of points written could have overlapped with (4)

It would be great to hear from parents of students in National Junior College. This is one of the school that seems to have strong math and science curriculum, I am looking for math/science/stem DSA schools for my son in P6 this year

I've heard good things about the NUS High School for Maths and Science
here. Why don't you consider that too?

Thanks for your reply, NUSH is my first choice
Trying to narrow down second and third, kid seems really keen on pursuing science, specifically physics and he has always been quite strong in math

There is no seperate test for DSA, it is best you go through this link first :
https://www.moe.gov.sg/secondary/dsa
to gain basic understanding

Think some may not know the process of DSA.
Step 1
1) to submit the child achievement awards in the DSAapplication form by MOE.
2) wait for shortlist
3) when u received email from the shortlisted schools. The school will inform u what to be submitted. Every school is different.
Eg proof of awards or profile.
4) audition or interview
5) wait for result

My daughter got in through Maths DSA in 2022. She had written and achieved silver or bronze in several olympiads. The written test at the school wasnt too difficult. She used the NUS High Olympiad books for preperation mostly.
I bet its intensive selection.
