NUS High School of Mathematics and Science (Diploma)
-
hi everyone. congratulations to all who got into the camp round! having gone through it myself and after participating as a student helper for subsequent years' camps, i can safely say that you don't need any preparation whatsoever - you just need to participate actively and have a willingness to learn.
the main highlight of the camp is the various stations (five or so). the science (biology, chemistry, physics) ones have practical components where you may be required to work in groups. there will be teachers on site who grade your performance in not just the experiment, but also in the way you work with other people. there is also an english station (prompted essay writing) and a \"computational thinking\" station that was introduced in last year's camp (i don't recall too much of it, sorry!)
most importantly, i encourage everyone to make the experience worthwhile by having fun in the process! come with an open mind and try to get to know the others in your group.
best of luck to all.

Dear All,
My DS is in P5. He is not a medal winner in maths / science, but consistently perform well.
Any suggestions on how to prepare for NUS High entrance next year? Which enrichment provides better outlook? :thankyou: -
For Maths you can use the online portal - https://www.edugain.com, full access is available via monthly subscription. For preparation your children should practice Grade 7 papers.

Did any one has experience going straight to interview without going through camp? My kid is sick during camp day and will go interview. Can anyone share type of questions ask to a kid without going through camp ie. I suppose it will be a different type of interview from those who has been through camp. Thanks

Has everyone who has gone for the camp received an email that the outcome will be announced by 3 Aug and preview will be on 8 Aug? I just got the email 30mins ago.

Me too. I think all applicants attended the camp received the email.
-
Guess so. Has anyone been informed of interview?

On this Wednesday/Thursday.
