DD said 4 stations - chemistry, physics, biology and english.

3 colour groups - blue, red, green and then divide into 12 per group and further divide into subgroup of 6.

English essay - on individual basis, choose 1 out of 2 questions, either how to convince students to stop jaywalking, or if you are given 3 items to put in a time capsule, what would you choose and why.

Chemistry - with iodine on starch
Physics - propeller
Biology - seeds and germination

Group dynamics involved as some kids are more outspoken and quickly take up the easier questions to answer first. Hopefully the teachers are discerning enough.

Thanks all for sharing

Just want to check can the parents attend on behalf for the preview on 17/8 if DD is selected? Or the child needs to attend? Can anyone share on past experience? Thanks.

If I don't remember wrongly, parents are allowed to attend and they will introduce the school, something like what they have done during Open House, DSA & those who do well in NMOS & SPSO where they will invite the parents to attend the DSA talk. In addition, they will tell you what to do during the DSA preference stage, how to fill up the form, etc. They will tell you to opt for NUSHS as first choice if you really want to join them ,especially those with multiple COs & those under waiting list. I think it's the same for other schools, they will want you to put them as first choice. After that, I think there is a Q&A session. Good luck !

So the kid can don't attend? Only the parents attend?
