Thanks SWC and Timmy, i am also concern about workload as DD is interested in 9-subj 3S and continue 3rd Lang . Now even want to try advance Science and SMTP ... i feel plus SIA , just too much.. how can students manage..so saw this line tot its a requirement from school she has to give up one. Can they drop any if they cant manage or results slip ?

According to sch, once selected to special program like advanced subjects or smtp, usually students can cope and no one has dropped before (administratively also difficult as it might entails changing form class?) To take 9 subjects req below 2 msg. To take 10 subjects req special approval.

Thanks Imp75, noted. Think just have to see where the test takes her.

Hi
When will we know the subjects that the child enrolled to? I know my child selected some advance and heard there is selection exam

The girls who want to take advanced subjects have to finish the selection tests first. Then those who pass the selection tests will receive notification. Then all the girls will submit their combination choices. Then notified of their combi allocated to them. Detailed timeline should have been provided to all the sec 2 students. I remember the whole process ended sometime 3rd week of Nov.

Depends on which advanced subject you are sitting for.

Hi

Need help. My daughter doesn’t know what subjects to choose (between history or physics) and I also don’t know how to advice. Need help from parents out there.

Her sec1/2 science is good and consistent A1. History flunctates ie B3. My husband and I thought that physics is a tough subject and history is easier in our humble opinion (based on our era). We worried if she doesn’t do well, her sec4 scores can be pulled down. However my daughter feels her science is better.

Any advice pls

Hmm…come to think of it, subject combination does not need any parent consent right? So up to our girl to discuss and seek our inputs if they are welcomed:)


Pertaining to SMTP, my understanding is that it is not a separate SIA. To be in SMTP simply means they need to do 2 advanced sciences or 1 advanced sci and advanced math, and their SIA must be science or math related, like SMP. SMP I think is the time consuming one as it requires them to go to say NUSH twice a week to meet mentors and do their research work. 2 whole weeks during the June holidays will be spent at NUSH or wherever their research work is done. Of course this does not include the time for group discussion and individual research. There is also some science SIA which seems to be a tie up with some Japanese school and past years the girls in this SIA get to go Japan for some exchange.

For advanced science selection test, for this year chem and bio is written test 1hr each, physics is interview.

These are the bits and pieces I could get from my girl.. not a complete picture as teens don’t appreciate too much parental interference these days
