Thanks for the sharing! Does sound very competitive. DS will have to work hard for what he wants

Hi, Graduating with a strong CAP is just only 1 factor. Your DS need to develop a strong interest in medicine, the right aptitude, attitude. The whole application process is design to screen out those opportunistic applicants and those that do not possess the quality required of a good doctor.

BMAT paper 1 is IQ / logical questions, paper 2 is 3 sciences and maths. Paper 3 is agumentative written paper on any subject, most like a social technical subject.

Currently LKC MMI has 8 stations, NUS 2 tests are quite similar to MMI.

Do not get stainned with anypolice record or infestious dieases like HepB.

Best wishes

Hi,

I am a P6 this year and would like to know whether to aim for either Hwa Chong or NUS High. I am good at math and science and am interested in these subjects. I am also really passionate about computing. However, I also like Hwa Chong as it is more all-rounded and its emphasis on Chinese culture. What are the pros and cons of joining both schools? Thanks if anybody can reply

if you are really interested in computing, you should go for NUS High because you start learning CS (computing studies) in y1 sem 2. :rahrah: the subjects for math and science are not very challenging if you pay attention in class and for y1-y2 they are mostly from o levels. from y3 sem 2 onwards, some a level subjects will be taught. when you reach y5-y6, you will start learning university modules if you take honours in that subject. so going NUS High allows for early exposure to o level, a levels, even university modules. NUS High students are generally weaker in their mother tongue, but the difficulty of the mother tongue papers are similar to other schools' papers. You have to pass o level higher chinese (for higher chinese students), and both o and a level chinese (for express chinese students). a level chinese papers will be taken in y5 and not y6. You must pass the respective papers to graduate from NUS High.

However, there is no emphasis on Chinese culture in NUS High.

Oh I see thank you for your reply! Also, what topics are tested in the selection test and camp. Is it secondary one level biology chemistry physics and math?

since there is no emphasis on chinese, is it being covered well enough there? what if child is weaker n needs help? do the trs provide supplementary classes? all students who get in r already strong in math n sci, but lesser for languages... hmm..

the science tests : should be beyond p6 level

Hello,

also P6 this year. Just created this acc to reply and ask a few questions.

-For anyone studying in NUSH, how many classes are there in one cohort?

When I went to the NUSH open house, they stated that they do not have O levels and A levels. But, is it only for O levels and A levels that you take a chinese test? When do they take those tests?

Thanks!
