Dulwich College Singapore CAT4 Assessment: Years 3-6

– Verbal reasoning
– Quantitative reasoning
– Non-verbal reasoning
– Spatial Reasoning
– Writing assignment (lasts for 30 minutes)
Students are also required to send current and previous school reports. The test results and the school reports are reviewed by the school prior to a place being offered. For overseas candidates, the school advises that scores over 105 in each of the four tests will be considered for entry.
According to the school’s Student Selection Policy, the decision to offer a place to a prospective student is taken by the individual Head of School.
Dulwich College Singapore Admissions Criteria
Dulwich College Singapore accepts applications throughout the year. Overseas students who want to enrol into the College must hold a foreign passport. The school’s Admissions pages state that Singaporean citizens should review the Admissions Policy to determine whether they’re eligible to apply for a place.
Admissions are determined based on student performance in the Cognitive Abilities Test and previous school reports. However, the Admissions Policy also states that the student’s ability to succeed socially in the school’s learning environment, their work ethic and overall behaviour are also considered.
The school expects parents to be supportive of their child’s learning and to support the school’s aims of serving a diverse population. Upon accepting a place at the school, students will be allocated an age-appropriate year group according to their date of birth. Exceptions are made only in extraordinary circumstances.
