        I noticed those few top schools produce a high no. of Platinum, Gold and Silver holders. Do they adopt some other Maths prog geared towards such achievement? No wonder every year these schools are so popular for P1 registration.

          he spent 2 years having tuition at Maths oasis to achieve that. In fact, we told him that his hard work has paid off.
          Hi, mathsparks.

          I see that Maths Oasis has PSLE intensive Maths in Jun, is it worth signing up for? TIA your recommendation.

            Most of these schools are GEP schools so it it no wonder. On top of that, the parents are more likely to send their children for training.

              Sorry Jennifer,
              son didn't attend the PSLE courses so I'm unable to comment.

                  My son was lucky and got a Platinum last year after trained by ALC. I was quite impressed and followed up to let him attend the DSA course. The centre prepared him with GAT, interview and boosted his confidence and motivation. To my surprise, he managed to secure DSA offers from several top IP schools. I am now planning for my other kids. In case some of u are interested, the tel to ALC is 65697773.

                    Do they have email? Or a website?

                      I am just curious, is your son from mainstream or GEP?

                        May I know what ALC stand for? How long was the maths olympiad training? Where is it located. How long was the DSA training and for what schools? I am just curious how you know if the training is relevant to the school you are applying for?
