Hi all, I will like to ask how many electives is too much for the average student. Also, what subjects can be accelerated? Thanks for answering.

Wondering if anyone can share - what kinda school results will stand a chance in DSA? My DS school results isn’t fantastic, especially the languages 😓

School results are not that relevant.
Anyone can apply to their DSA and sit for the screening test.

So can I say that it’s more of the screening and interview/camp i.e. his aptitude? Anyone who applies gets to sit for the test?

I didn’t send him to any preparatory courses but he’s really very into Science and wants to get in badly 🤣

That's correct. If I remember correctly, anyone who applied can sit for the screening test. Usually the science paper is more difficult, so your son may have a good chance.

Oh he’s interested, but good or not I dunno la 🤣

The papers are like Math, Science and English I suppose?

Thanks so much for answering my Qs... I’m like 临时抱佛脚 now cos my DS hasn’t been doing well in school so I’m starting to panic 😔

The max you can take is up to 2 as the time table permits max 2 electives time slot, although there are students who \"apply\" for Independent Study to take more. So I would say 2 is just nice.

Common subjects for acceleration are Math (diagnostic tests usually taken before you join NUSH), CS, Chem (usually 4 per cohort) & Physics (limited few). The latter 2 are usually by teacher recommendations for those with consistent results.
