hi, for a dual track school which offers IP and O Level, is the DSA IP student allowed to "switch" to O Level track in case he/she cannot cope with the IP? Understand for some dual track schools, IP students are allowed to "switch" to O Level at the end of year 2 if he/she cannot cope or does not meet the min requirement. Does that apply to DSA IP students as well, or only the ones who got in via PSLE?
Hi, sorry to repost this, can anyone enlighten ?
I think the students will be asked by the school to switch if they do not meet the criteria. It is typically not a choice.
It applies to all students - not just DSA students or just PSLE students.

My gut feeling is once you are selected for the test cum interview, all candidates start equally. I think the performance at the test (mainly MO qns) and interview (including explaining the answers for the test) play the most part in securing the CO. I am.not sure how the format is this year but that used to be the format on prior years.
