NUS High School of Mathematics and Science (Diploma)

DVL:

It is not too late, PPV is offered in Sem 2. However, PPV is a quite challenging module, last year, some dropped out after a few lessons. If your DS wants to do this module, it is advisable for him to plan his workload accordingly in Sem 2.

Thanks a lot for your advice.

I hear that tests in year1 n year3 affect the offering of higher modules

Which affect the option of study in year5/6
Those who got thro the tests including winners in year1
Will be offer higher modules in year2/3 ( not sure abt it)
As for marks the average marks in nush is 4/5 quoted by a teacher
Those who r offer honours r being identify during the earlier years by the school
Done by the gifted n talent branch ( moe) in the school

DS1 is doing acceleration for Chemistry now. Does this helps ?

My ds has gone 2 rounds of acceleration tests for maths
Question what does it lead to n when?

May I know usually when is NUSH open house ?


Also, I'm just wondering, since NUSH is for those good in maths and science, does it also mean that quite a fair bit of students end up in NUS medicine course eventually as they are 'stronger' in triple science results?

Anyone can share how many went medicine per year roughly? Thanks.

Though I wonder why many people are allured by Medicine course (and for that matter, Law course too), well, for class of 2013, 9 went NUS medicine & 4 went NTU medicine. Do you need to know the 2013 cohort size too? Well, it was about 200. Seriously, the numbers themselves have no meaning.

Acceleration test


My ds is in year1
How does the system in nush works?

So he has gone through 2 rounds of acceleration tests for Math as of now ? Then chances of acceleration should be very high. Did you received any reply from teacher in charge ?
