I’ve just applied forthe NUSH DSA thing. Anyone can give opinions on the Math aptitute test?

My DS is taking the selection test this Sat.

The email from NUSH only mention that the test is 3 hours.
Students are to bring pencils and erasers and there are instructions on shading the answer sheet.
So looks like it will be all MCQ ?

[PlatypusMeowMeow]

No. Only the science was MCQ. the math was not

Based on my DD experience last year, you will get an email anytime from Friday late afternoon to Sat afternoon. No news is good news.

If you receive anything any earlier, it won't be good news.

Good luck.

QUESTION FOR NUSH STUDENTS/PARENTS…


Would you say that NUS High School is a way out of the overly structured Singapore education system in the following ways?

- Students are less likely to require private tuition compared to their counterparts taking GCE exams

- There is more scope for independent thinking and creativity

- Teaching staff are more open to unconventional approaches to problem solving

Thanks in advance!
