The English subject at Foundation Years (i.e. Y1 & Y2) is pretty unique - it combines English and Literature. For details, you may want to refer to the Programme of Studies which can be found in the school's website.

Thanks!

Do they put a lot of emphasis on skiling the English?
What Literature are they doing?can you give some examples
of the Lit textbooks?

Anyone knows how NUS high graduates get the high distinction or distinction?

Thank you

[Coddington]

This is a question ("how to get… how to get…")

every normal person likes to ask, and
the respondent is very sick answer…
But never get the answer.
'cos there is no direct answer. If you have that kind of DNA,
you will not need to ask.

Nobody can duplicate the others totally.

If you are the type that with strong study ability, study hard + study smart, reading the environment well, how to emerge stronger when you are sinking or drifting apart, willing to trial & error, conviction to win, having secret receipe to succeed + some luck during exams, you are on the right track to score high distinction.

YES.

Sorry to ask the stupid question and thanks for the answer. I just like to compare my son’ s performance with the others. Because the newsletter said last year 30% graduates got high distinction and another 30% got distinction. Therefore says 60% students got above 4.0.
