NUS High School of Mathematics and Science (Diploma)

Seeking tips & information about NUSH entrance test in Math & Science subjects, the written test for all applicants.
What are the best way to prepare? What kind of problems are typical? What are the key topics? Are there topics beyond primary school curriculum?
From what I gathered so far, it seems like the Math will be Math Olympiad-like, thus their NMOS book is a good resource, but what else? And on Science, it seems like ICAS is a good reference too, anything else? -

He seemed genuinely interested in olympiads, so we have been signing up for most olympiads conducted by SIMCC, he loved the NMOS format too, thats how it became so many achievements over the past few years. Especially during the covid period, it gave him something interesting to do with his time when he couldn't go out and play with his friends much!
More than 10 achievements!! :yikes: Wow... you son is incredible.
I would sort them into the top 10 for consideration, and leave the rest alone. Sometimes, it is better to focus on the ones you value the most, than having a bundle of smaller achievements, as it might conjure the \"jack of all trades\" notion.
Thanks for your inputs, much appreciate it. -

The school has always had the DSA Selection test for *all applicants*. (only in 2020 and 2021 - there was no test due to COVID).

From the selection test, there will then be a Selection Camp for abt 400 plus or so.
All the best ! -

Great to see NUSH having 2 students in IMO! Been wondering why last year they had none and dominated by RI (5 out of 6).
