Is SMO also by invitation? DS did not go for SMO.

It isn't by invitation. According to my daughter, all of them in the class are encouraged to take SMO by their math teacher.

Then will the test papers be the same or each elective will be tested differently given that the pace is different.

It will be different test papers.

If they perform well or do badly in their respective MO, will they be switched to a different MO class after the module has completed? Or are they stuck to the same MO module (non external and external)?

If your DS is from NUSH, he should have received a letter from school to ask them to participate in SMO Junior, Senior &/or Open. Although it is optional to take all these but you are strongly encouraged to do so by the school.

I'm fine, thanks GiftedGem. Hope you too. :snuggles:

DS1 is graduating this year, now start preparing for NS and uni applications. Both DS are doing well in school. Hope your DD is doing well in the school too.

Yes... I am good although age is catching up pretty fast..... :nailbite:
Imagine, we were chitchatting in this kiasu forum when our kids were in P4 and now they are 15 yrs old.
Which faculty is yr DS1 trying for? Also, does NUSH require students to take O Level MT? In DD's sch, it is a requirement to take MT before heading to JC level. Sch life for DD is busy as usual....She is having her 2 PPAs ( like mini exams ) today.

Hi, has anyone receive notifications on the outcome on the selection tests?

[dagong99]

Ya, age is coming up for me too. DS1 most likely trying for medical or Science related courses.


Yes, NUSH students need to take MT. In fact, DS2 is having his O level MT oral next Monday.

DS2 is also very busy, everyday till 6 pm. I guess that's school life for kids nowadays.
