They will be considered for the subject that they are taking.

For example,we had a year 1 who was best in mathematics for year 5.

huh ?

you mean this Year 1 can know much more than the Year 5, even though Year 5 is still long way for him ?

is he a genius ?
which subject ?
physics ?

There are many geniuses. Sadly, I'm not one of them.

It's not just about knowing more. A lot of it is about being careful. After all, quizzes, tests and exams is still a large fraction of the overall grade. Though, yes, I reckon he knows more about maths than a lot of the year 5s.

It is in mathematics, as stated.[/quote]Just venturing a guess, the math geniuses in year 5 would not be taking year 5 math anyway, they'd already have been doing university modules, so this Year 1 may be tops amongst year 5s in a 'regular' math module? An outstanding achievement nevertheless.

So when it comes to select the Best in Chemistry/(Math) for say Year 3, the Year 3s with the acceleration for that will not be considered? :scratchhead:

Yup, heard DS1 mentioned to me :scared:

To be accelerated to Year 5 at the start of Year 1, NUSH must have administered lots of diagnostic tests! He probably whizzed past each one easily.

Yup, heard DS1 mentioned to me :scared:[/quote]Which year was it when the student was in year 1?

Hi folks,


I’m interested to find out more about NUSH. Sorry for the noob questions as I donch have much exposure to this sch. TIA.

What are the courses NUSH grads usually take in uni?

Can NUSH grads enrol in faculties other than Science or Engg?

:yikes: Yr 1 doing Yr 5 math?? :shock:
This student is more of an exception than the norm right? :nailbite:
How do they assess him/her to know that he has the capability to skip 4 years? Who assesses? Or the student puts himself up for assessment??
Are there a lot of such geniuses in NUSH?
Wow.... :scared:
