Sorry not sure about Maths domain. But in DS’s batch 2 years ago in another domain, there were about 25+ COs given. Good luck.

An interesting info on NUS - I met a yr4 student in NUS High who decided to switch from Science/Maths to Economics. So NUS High gives certain flexibility to such students too.
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.
But, the fact that you like \"more rounded\" and \"Chinese culture\" - go for Hwa Chong.
All the best!! -
Hwa Chong has a good Computing programme; for this year’s Sec 2s, Computing is compulsory in lower Sec. (I think for your son’s batch, it may be compulsory for 4 years - not sure, best to check with the school).
For Maths and Sciences, it depends on the ‘league’ you are aspiring towards. If you are single minded in focusing on Olympiads in a specific field, NUS High may be in a better position to provide such training. However, if you are looking for a generally strong maths and science education, HCI curriculum is definitely challenging enough. HCI has many developmental and leadership training opportunities, with a long history and relatively strong school spirit. It is a larger school, so it has a larger range of CCAs and all.
The best and most important foundational training for Economics in university is actually, Mathematics. -
Ok, thank you so much for the replies!
-
When will the students be notified if they were eligible for any EOY exam exemption?
-
Most likely the students will be informed by this Friday.
-
My boy said they will only be informed by next Friday.
-
By right they should inform earlier so the students can better plan their time on what to study.
-
My boy said they inform late so that students would not stop putting in effort for their exempted subject(s)

May I know if there are any commitments for hci dsa science co pupils?
