Common questions asked in DSA Interviews

By: Nurul, in Category: Primary

The exact questions that will be asked during a DSA (Direct School Admission) interview can vary depending on the school and program, but there are some common themes that you can prepare your child for. Here are some common questions that may come up during a DSA interview:

  1. Why do you want to attend this school?
  2. What are your strengths and weaknesses?
  3. Can you tell us about a time when you had to overcome a challenge?
  4. What are your hobbies and interests?
  5. Can you tell us about a project or achievement that you are particularly proud of?
  6. How do you balance your academic studies with your extracurricular activities?
  7. Can you tell us about a time when you had to work as part of a team?
  8. How do you deal with failure or setbacks?
  9. Can you tell us about a book or article that you have read recently that has inspired you?
  10. What are your future career aspirations?

In addition to these questions, the interviewer may also ask more specific questions related to the school or program, such as questions about academic subjects, sports or arts achievements, or leadership experience. It's important for your child to research the school and program they are applying to and be prepared to talk about why they are a good fit and how they can contribute to the school community. Encourage your child to practice answering interview questions and to be confident, polite, and enthusiastic during the interview.
