[quote=\"Gxmas\"]Hi, my DS is only ok with MO type of questions... but he is quite good in secondary level math..

I would like to know whether only MO type of questions will be tested in the selection test? Are there secondary secondary level non-MO questions as well? And since he is not that good in MO questions, his chance of doing well in the selection test is lower?

Thanks in advance!

:thankyou:

I don't think it's necessary to use MO type of questions in the selection tests as not all children are exposed to it. I got a feeling Sci may hold more importance in the tests since there are 3 Sci subjects compared to math.

If your kid knows how to tackle some MO questions, he should be able to handle the math section of the DSA test relatively easier (of course non-MO math will also be included). There will probably be basic express-sec 1 math included. For the science section of the test, your kid can study the basics of express-sec 1 sciences. (For example, know what the numbers of a periodic table mean and understand cell biology). He should do fine.[/quote]Thanks for the v useful sharing.

Can i chk whether if the child recd admission to NUS High but reject it, ok? One of my nephew wants to go NUS High but not sure whether to apply for DSA or not. He was asking whether he go for DSA but if he is selected, can he reject it? Is it OK?

He is interested but scared tat he is unable to cope. He is not very confident child from young but a bright boy.

Just apply and try. If he is bright enough (to scrape through test written round) he is good enough in theory.

The 2nd round test group and teamwork as well as individual practical proficiency. He may ‘lose’ out because of shyness and introverted but may be deemed ok , got selected and given CO or put in wait-list. Remember those strong in maths or the ‘genius’ type are normally don’t shine in a team environment. In short, just apply and if got selected or put on wait-list. The school assessments team know the ‘potential’ of the respective candidate than the candidate themselves.
