Guys i beg of you what will we do at the half day selection test

ruyu,

no concrete info, heard for Math Domain it is Maths Olympiads style questioning, including showing the solution like say SMOPS second round...

For Languages no idea - what i gather from DD's letter is
Oral and written comm
Literary Appreciation

My word of advice- They do not want the kids to prepare which means there is nothing you can do in a week , you should be able to take an open test and succeed, that is what they are looking for. It will be in a format a good P6 student can tackle. You will be briefed b4 the test. So why worry?
Anyway if one doesnt succeed , there is still PSLE - the known devil.

So chill
And all the best.

They mentioned clearly in the email what you are going to be tested on. For Math, it's my domain too, i think the question are the 'think out of the box' type. last minute revision won't work for such topics, it would only make you worse. that's exactly why they test us on it and tell us the topics before hand. It does not make a difference, but if you not so good at those types it would let you be mentally prepared for the worst.

Hope this helps. Goodluck to your daughter and all other applicants. Cheers :celebrate:

Does anyone know when NUSH will notify the selected applicants for the maths and science camp on 24th July?

[yorknell]

hi… i ddon’t really know but shouldn’t they tell you on the previous emails if you’re applicant? Because i’m also applicant but for sec 3 and on the email it said i’ll be confirmed whether shortlisted or not on 26 July. It’ll be different since i am sec 3 applicant not sec 3 though.
