NUS High School of Mathematics and Science (Diploma)

phtthp:
No, those are made up module names.what is the difference between module(s) Physics A vs. Physics B ?
is it Physics A emphasize more on Hands on practical work involvement, while Physics B emphasize more on Theory ?
NUS High takes a modular approach to teaching. This is more evident in upper years, when the content is more specialized.
One physics module could be \"Special Relativity\".
The other physics module could be \"Quantum Mechanics\". Entirely different topic.
It is somewhat like what the universities do. -

What artume is saying is that diff module for the same subject carries diff weightage and there's a multiplier for each module in the computation of the overall grade for the subject.what is the difference between module(s) Physics A vs. Physics B ?
is it Physics A emphasize more on Hands on practical work involvement, while Physics B emphasize more on Theory ? -
Nebbermind:
If a typical University will to assess a typical 'A' level Exam Physics results and a typical NUSH High Diploma Physics result - with full transcripts showing slew of module names, modular credits/grade etc, which will tell you more about the performance and level of mastery in the subject ?.

On top of that the NUSH Diploma graduating transcript has everything about the student's 6 years performance in academics, participations in Olympiads, competitions, research projects , CCA, CIP etc. This is the advantage what Artume is talking about. -
anyone know how much is latest school fees incurred per year, for an Engineering degree -
after finish studying Year 6 at NUS High (around $300 per month) & then continue to move on forward, into another next 4 years of NUS Engineering faculty ?
Is school fees the same, or different :
studying for Electrical / Electronic / Mechanical Engineering vs. studying for Chemical Engineering degree : since the laboratory work & experiments conducted, are different in nature ? Thanks -

It is the same for all engineering courses. -
After study 6 years in NUS High -
can pupils study at NTU Engineering, instead of NUS ?
Is NUS High also affliated to NTU, besides to NUS ? -

They can go to any college or uni...no restrictions AFAIK.After study 6 years in NUS High -

for Year 1 cohort this year (2014) :
- how many boys & girls are there ?
- total : how many Year 1 classes (cohort : out of 170 students) ?
- how many pupils, per class ?
- for group project / presentation :-
pupils themselves choose who they want to be their team members, or subject Tr assign them automatically, into different groups ?
- how is tests / exam structure like ?
from Term 1 to 4 (Year 1 to Year 6) -
for each subject :
are test marks, from both Theory assessments plus Practical laboratory work done, being weighted (apportioned) towards the final year end, or dependent upon only one final exam, at year end ? -

I am not sure if you will get a reply. The overall grade is apportioned through assignments, tests etc. There is usually not a lot of weightage in the final exam paper as far as I can see.
But why bother, let the child develop along the way and find his/her interest. It’s not only about competition all the way unlike other schools.
The good thing about this school is that the environment does allow a lot of opportunities for your child.
Take a particular top boy school(not R), the emphasis is on a particular consortium for math acceleration.
It is important that the school provides everyone with a equal chance and opportunity to start with and develop. -
There are 6 Y1 classes in 2014 with approximately 25 students per class.
I know it does not add up to 170 but the school have made it clear to offer only to deserving candidates instead of being pressured to fill up the seats.
Students with the right attitude and passion for the subjects will find the curriculum enjoyable and enriching.
Some sources estimated there are 10-15% girls. Maybe those are for early years or for certain batches/class. Others say it is about 20%. There is no gender discrimination but perhaps generally language and arts can be said to be a preference for girls.
As for group work and projects, it really depends on the teacher. Some let the students choose their team-mates others simply assign the groups randomly. I also understand that the sitting arrangement in the labs are according to your child’s register number.
