NUS High School of Mathematics and Science (Diploma)

if after the test, the camp, the porfolio and still cannot get in....then he's not suitable for the curriculum...no point going there to struggle.


if really gets in by luck, then parents will suffer even more!!

I believe those who manage to get in via PSLE results manage well too. I have friends whose children are there and they're enjoying themselves there.

[quote=\"TigerDad\"]It seems last minute preparation will be helpful somehow for NUS High.

Such as reading some reference books or science magazine or some maths or science activities reference.
At least, the kids know some kinds of the activities related maths or sceince.
Hope the kids successful in the final stage.

For the millionth time, you can mug last minute for all you want but the chances of it helping are like 0.00000001% so think twice.

Thanks for your comments.

Sharing the view is FYI only.

I believe that it's good way to try your best before the final is decided,
At least, the kid and praents already tried no matter what kind of result it will be.[/quote]Sorry. My previous comment was kinda rude. Are any of your DD or DS going for NUS High?

My DS is going to the camp. Currently just try to show him some acativities examples in case he and other kids may happen to be asked to do the same or similar activity when he has time after he completede his daily homework.

Thanks for sharing.

Yeah, one of my friend's son didn't get the offer through DSA of NUS High, but he got it after PSLE with 261 score. Please note final application to NUS High after PSLE need to apply online through their website, not through MOE.

those math olympiad platinum holders are more or less guaranteed a place, if they apply, but there are only about 70 of them each year

Yes they are more or less assured of a place. Assuming most of them do apply to NUSH, that would leave about 80 places for the non platinum holders.

However, do not despair if a child is offered a waitlist instead of a confirmed place. Many of the top candidates will have multiple offers and you will see them spread amongst RI/RGS, HCI/NYGH and NUSH. So the waitlist will have a fairly good chance of getting in too.

Heard that there are those from the Einstein club are also allocated placements. That means there may be even less spots left???[/quote]no worry, many of them also applied for RI / HCI / NYGH / DHS / ACSI / NJC etc....
