There should be another email from NUSHigh with more details on what to do on 25th July.

I recalled someone posted in this thread that the children would be doing labs work in physics,, chemistry and biology and a Maths paper too.

Last year students have to go thru physics, bio, chemistry, maths, english and general. It was done in 2 half days. Looks like only 1 day this year. Not sure if format will be the same this year.

Last year they were put into groups and worked on experiments in physics, bio and chemistry. Have to write down their findings and answer questions posed by the teachers. Teachers observed their behaviours during the experiments. \"General\" was a project that teams competed with each other. Maths and english (essay) were individual papers. No interviews during the camp but after the camp a few boarderline cases were called up for further interviews.

I guess other than intellectual ability, they are looking for students with the personality suitable for their school. Many participants found the camp fun.

Good luck and hope your kids enjoy the camp.

He enjoyed it. But not much confidence in his own performance. Any idea when the results would be released?
