From what I know, only the Affiliated Middle School to Jilin University in Changchun held AMC8 in China. Why not just take AMC8 here, it's more convenient.

Thanks!
After PSLE, we will go back Shanghai, but AMC8 will be held on 17 Nov 2009, so we must come back before that day, otherwise, we may stay longer and take AMC8 competition in China.

Hi,

I am new here. Just wanted to know if any parent know the test format for the Raffles half-day selection test (Academic-English).
Thanks.

Anyone has any idea what they test in the math domain in the next round of the RI 1/2day selection test? My son is called in for it on Sat 11/07.

Did they only test Math, or were there any interviews etc.? Also, if the domain is English, any idea what they test?

Does anyone know whether RI has sent notification to those shortlisted for 1/2 day selection test on 25th July?

Thanks wbetty. At least now we know he didn’t make it. So just have to move forward and focus on his PSLE exam. Good luck to all kids taking PSLE this year. Cheers!

I am believed that your daughter has been selected for half day selection test at RGS on 25 July 2009, there is impact with NUSH camp day, which will be held on the same date: 25 July 2009, you only have one choice, either RGS or NUSH, what is your decision?

On 25 July, four top schools, HCI, RI, RGS, NUSH will have DSA events, all DSA student should choose one of them. obviously, it is purposely arranged.

wmd, why do you think the clash in test dates is intentional?


Is your child affected by the clash in dates? Which one is she going for?

No affect for my daughter, she will attend NUSH on 25 July 2009, but my friends's affected, they will choose either HCI or NUSH, RGS or NUSH.
