Is psychology (NuS) popular these days? I don’t remember it being popular during my time, it was (one of three) subject that FASS students get to choose.[/quote]

I don't think it's getting more popular.

Problem is if you graduate with psychology from FASS, you cannot be registered as a registered psychologist until you have a Master’s or Doctoral degrees in applied psychology, along with meeting many other criteria.

I thought is was getting popular because someone here asked about gaining admission into medicine/psychology. Medicine I can understand, it’s been popular.

Interesting that you see it as a problem, it is an avenue towards getting into your choice specialisation. As upon graduation, one may choose to do their masters in their chosen field. There’s clinical, educational, organisation psychology.. etc.

From IB to local U score needs 38 and above.

In term of poly to go U, is it easier as points are lower ?
As mentioned above lessser percentage compare to A level or poly students to go apply local U, is it cos of this?
IB students are more difficult to get to 38 points or more compare to for poly to get the points to apply U?

Anyone has had the experience of homeschooling your child / non-MOE student who successfully got accepted into SOTA? Can you please share your experience especially with regards to the entrance exams? Thank you.

Hi,

I would like to know the school environment in SOTA. How’s the students discipline there? Does the school emphasize on discipline and character development?
Do they segregate the class from Y1 base on the academic results?
Hope to hear from all so we can make informed decision. Thank you.

Hi, My DD has a CO from SOTA (theater DSA). She has been invited for a "scholarship interview".

Any idea what this is about? What will she be tested on?

[quote=\"Oldgal\"]Sota students and parents - appreciate your feedback on the iB program. I know the A levels can be very intensive towards year 5 to 6 and many attend tuition for their subjects. How about the IB? Does it mean that since the exams hold only 60 to 70% of the final score, it is not as detailed and intensive compared to A levels? Do most students go for tuition? How about SOTA - do the Teachers follow up closely on students and offer help or hold extra classes for the weaker ones? Thanks.

tuition?? tuition is unheard of in SOTA leh.

Hi im from sota and i have 4 tuitions so yes, many of my classmates have them too and it is not unheard of. I have siblings who are in the singaporean education system and we take the exact same subjects. I am able to do their exam papers as the standard is about the same. Sota is just a normal school with an added subject which is our art form. We don't do less than other schools academically. Due to our art forms, we usually end school daily around 7 to 9pm, depending on the day. Thus, we don't miss out or have a lower standard academically. (If there was, why did sota produce 2 president scholars so far??) The syllabus is the exact same from year 1 to 3 but is more IB based from year 4 to year 6. So yes many people on this forum say that sota is an arts school and the academics is easier but no, i have siblings to compare to and I can say that the standard is the exact same as \"top tier O level schools\". (my siblings are from these schools).[/quote]Thank you for your valuable overview on the SOTA curriculum.
Could you please share the contacts of the tutions centres you go to. We would like to consider it as well.
Thanks

Firstly congratualions - its based on their performance during TA. The type of scholarship is determined after the interview. It was a group interview during my child’s year, and questions can’t really be predicted. Kids were expected to be themselves, answer spontaeously and truthfully. There is no other “testing”. Hope that helps
