NUS High School of Mathematics and Science (Diploma)

[sembgal]

One boy transferred out to HCI and one girl/boy went overseas for further studies. Those that cannot cope will choose to leave. The school will not ask you to leave just because you are not good enough. Remember the child needs to score A* for Math and Science in order to qualify so the standard is already there.

Means that if the child PSLE standard can get A* for Math and A* for Science, confirm the child can cope in NUSH. But that will depends on whether NUSH wants your child or not.

But most of the kids (95%?) got in thru dsa, ie, without any consideration of their psle grades for math n science.

Note that it's

Y1 - Integrated Humanities
Y2 - Integrated Humanities + choose 2 from geography, music, art
Y3 - choose 1 from econs,history,geog,music,art,literature
Y4 - what you chose in y3

For year 1 Integrated Humanities, in the past you take 2 modules of 2 MC which are :
1) Culture, Identities and Economic systems
2) Challenges of Development
Now you take 4 MC module called Identities, History and Societies.

For Year 2, in the past, a module called Governance & Organisation of Societies;
now it is Conflicts, Co-operation and Globalisation, 2 MC

Also you select of 2 the of the following of 2 MC each:
Basic Musicianship, Basic Art, or Fundamental Geography.

Note: for yr 1 = 4 MC; yr 2 =6 MC, increase workload by 2 MC

For yr 3&4, you take any of the track: Economics, History, Geography, Music or Art. To be able to take the geography, art or music track, you need take the relevant foundation subject in year 2. However I think you may be able to take music track in year 3 without taking Basic musicianship module if you have ABRSM theory of Grade 5

For yr5 & 6, you can still continue your humanities, art or music track as a major subject.

NUSH high allow you to take 4 majors, min requirement is that you must take maths and two sciences.

Thank you !![/quote]I do believe there may be some with higher aggregate scores that are not offered by NUSH since it is said that they look for those who thry deemed are passionate about Maths and Science
