      Those turning 13 years old, heard highest score was 4.8/5.

      Anything above 3.5 is considered very good. My friend's child has no tuition can score 4.4/5. This school is really for those whose PSLE get A* for Sci and Math and all the best students are in this school. Very competitive. Another friend's friend's son didn't do well, got depression.

      There are also those who got 4.9 and 5.0.
      These students would be in the top 5%.

      These students are usually in the P list. šŸ˜‰

          Hmm...3.5 is a B. Most get min B+ while A- and A are more common.

          Not to depress anyone but for Year 1, a B is quite \"dangerous\" as the syllabus will get harder and harder as the years go by. šŸ˜“
          what if for Year 1 :
          child get B for Maths, B for Physics, B for Bio, A for Chem (3B, 1A) -
          risky ?

          do NUS High \"kick out\" any student, before ?

            My personal opinion, the child must be :imdrowning: because a low CAP is usually because of languages or humanities and should not be Math and Sciences. šŸ˜“

                NUS High core curriculum subjects are (Maths & three Sciences) and languages like English / Chinese, which humanities subject(s) are covered / taught in Year 1 to Year 4 syllabus, excluding 3rd language ?

                    Apply online via the same link as phase 1 DSA.
