Hi,
May i check if there is a need to participate in
- 31st American mathematics Contest
- Secondary Maths Olympiad
I think my question it is a need or just a want. Having some prior training will help the kids cope better? -

Do you mean SMO (Singapore Maths Olympiad) competition for Secondary Maths Olympiad? You could buy the SMO past year series and practice from there, http://sms.math.nus.edu.sg/Publication/ ... .aspx#Book -

Oh thanks. I was told that it would be good to take some training so that DS can cope better. Sine no need, then shall leave it as it is then.

Of course you could take some training if your ds is keen, some find it more effective this way
you could learn on your own by self practicing since there are solutions provided.

Finally! my DS has completed his high school and going to the college section next year.
How times flies as I still remember his first day reporting to HCI 4 years ago. I am glad that he survive and thrive in the course although he went in just above the COP.
Anyone DS is planning to take the GATE program in college next year? What is the advantage of this program beside learning in a more accelerated, deeper and broader content of individual subject? -
:congrats:

All the best to your DS and I am sure he will enjoy his JC years as it is going to be more happening :evil:
Is GATE the JC level of CSE programme? -
Yes, he is looking forward to JC!
Apparently, there are 2 special programs in JC mainly GATE and SMTP. You will have to apply for it and sit for a selection test unless you are invited for direct admission. -
For the sec 3 boys next year, do they all do lord of the flies? Thanks

-
Yes. It comes under English (not E Lit) in the booklist… so I think it applies to all Sec 3.
can’t believe my son is going to be in S3! Seems like only yesterday I was asking about school uniforms in this forum…
