for those whose kids went for the NUSH selection test yesterday, how did your kids find the test? my son told me the maths section was tough and he didn't know how to do most of the questions. he said they were things he hadn't been taught but he said the science section was quite okay. gosh, was disappointed to hear that but what to do, putting my hopes on NJC now , the test will be in 2 wks time.....

Really! The math section was quite okay, though some I had done before in olympiad trainings. Out of the questions I left 2 blank. The Science was fine too, but for a question or two, I had second thoughts.:idea: On the whole I found it quite surprising that NUS high DSA test would not have some really tricky questions, in a sense. Most of my friends were preparing for the worst as well but were astounded.

Just my 2 cents worth. Wish your son and all other NUS High applicants luck :celebrate:

Hi everybody! i’m newbie here hehehe… i had just done the DSA NSUHS For sec 3 yesterday. oh my god! have to agree the math one was very very very difficult! the science was tricky but most i could do (esp. the physic). Oh i think I’ll not be shortlisted for interview. i’m an indonesian who interested in studying in singapore. i’ll try the RI DSA for foreigner in around sept. or october (i forgot) after registering the aeis. I’LL also try the acsi DSA. by the way, is the math and science RI Or acsi DSA as difficult as nsush one? Is there any tips where and what should I study the math and science? I’ve bought some used books from bbc when holiday in singapore and visited RI As well. Is that any tips for me? Which one is better QT Or aeis?

The Risa science talent camp is not part of the dsa process. it is organized by ri and moe ge branch for top science talents Fr the various ge schools.  my boy attended last year's which was shortened to 1 day due to h1n1.  it was during the camp that he realized he prefers ri to nush.  


good luck to all taking the nush selection test tomorrow.

Hi Mathsparks, is this Risa science talent camp that your boy attended meant for P5 or P6? Thanks!

[mathsparks]
