Hi, did anyone’s DC enter NUSH via PSLE results, but did not get through the selection test? Are they able to cope with the curriculum? Thanks

Hi AslMum,

I do not have a DC that enter NUSH via PSLE results. However, during the NUSH tea reception recently, I spoke w a boy (4th Year in NUSH). He was rejected in the selection test during his year, however, he got in w his own merits through PSLE results. I did check w him how he is doing and he is doing fine. All I can say for him is that he is really determined to get into NUSH and he did it! My kudos to him!

I am not sure about this but I heard that if a child did not get pass through the selection test but applied through PSLE, NUSH does look at the fact they did go through the selection test.

Hope this helps! :salute:

I think DC should have A* for Maths and A* for Science.

there's a school bus service, though most are driven by parents in the morning or take public transport. One of DD's classmates stays around Bishan, and gets on the school bus at around 630am, which I thought is ok. Not sure about cost though.

Which part of the island do you stay? If you stay along Circle Line, it's very convenient to take the MRT to get to NUSH.

school bus is one way only, as the students end their day at different times, depending on the CCA they are involved in, and the elective modules they take.
Shortest day ends around 1230pm, most days end between 4pm-630pm(CCA training)

the time they finish lessons can vary every now and then…very common to see lesson swap, make-up classes, discussions…this and that activites…
