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.Song22:
The above competition are optional to students, not compulsory.
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
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… -
yes, time flies. Think I also just mentioned about uniform and books and asking parents here about life in HCI prior to ds joining. Now he had survived 1 yr and moving to Sec 2 and going to be :boogie: a senior to the new batch of sec 1s next year.

But good grief, it's Julius Caesar next year! -
Since some of your DS have gone through HCI IP for a few years, I was curious is there any c0-relation between the PSLE result and the academic performance in HCI? eg those getting high PSLE score performing consistently better (of course there are exception) or no relationship at all.
I have a friend’s DS in HCI sec 4 this year and he is in some SMTP course. He got MSG 1.4 for his final exam but not even at the top 10% of HCI.
