NUS High School of Mathematics and Science (Diploma)

Does it happen this year? Or last year?

Hi parents. I just wanted to say that your child doesn't need an A* for both Mathematics and Science or a PSLE Aggregate of 260+ to get admitted into NUS High. Those are just rumours. My son got a PSLE Aggregate of 256 (with an additional 2 points for Higher Chinese if he wishes to attend SAP schools) and only got an A for Science (he got an A* for Mathematics though) but he still got admitted into NUS High through SIE (Supplementary Intake Exercise).

I think it's the same for every year. Or else it will be just unfair.

Depend on what your A is.

A Range is wide, ranges from 75 upwards, to 90.
A * range from 91 onwards.

So, if a student score ( 90 for Maths, A * for Science), or score (90 for Science, A * for Maths), another permutation, does it mean that this pupil is worse off, from another pupil who scored (91 for Maths, and 91 for Science, two A *) ?

What's the difference, between 90 (at A grade) vs. 91 (at A * grade) ? Only 1 point difference !

So, should one be surprised (or even shocked) at students entering NUS High, without 2 A * score for Maths & Science ? No, right ?

Unofficially accepted is good enough LOL This is important as shoes account for 80% of teenager girls’ happiness ^_^

My son said no issue, as he sees a lot of students wearing bright coloured shoes.
But of course who knows whether they will change their policy next year?

i believe they actually implemented the white shoes policy this year. but it's quite hard to enforce/regulate, plus a lot the seniors are wearing bright coloured shoes, so go right ahead
