Just wondering, has there been cases of the same kid selected for both the Science Olympiad and Maths Olympiad? Then can this 1 kid go for both on representing S'pore? How come Maths Olympiad is more famous than Science? And also Maths Olympiad has more emphasis than Science?

The kid would have to choose either one as during imso, both Sci and maths with conduct at the same time. Last yr there are one such case.
Last yr imso clashed with p5 gep final yr exam, so affected students got to postpone school exam abt a week later. Quite hectic for them as they need to revise exam plus go for imso.

:roll: Poor kids!

I have removed the imso philippines link in my previous post as when I clicked on it again, there was a warning for virus message. So do a search yourself if u need the info. I believe this year's date is in Sep.

I just bought a Science Olympiad Training book for primary school, advance and intermediate, in Popular. Both of the books are great and interesting. The explanations are also clear. My kid loves it!

Hi pixiedust

So far dd had completed two set of the assessments and some quesitons like food web, electrical, light and energy ete are quite relevent to what they have studied. There are also challenging questions beyong her knolwedge but the explanation part is quite helpful.

Tell her not to worry about those question that she may not understand now as we can still keep this book when she move up to Secondary school.

We take it as the supplement to those P6 prelim paper MCQ.

Hope the abvoe inforamtion is helpful.
