Can share how you 'survive' your biology throughout the 6 years ? :imdrowning: I already seeing 'stars' just looking at those terminolgy used ... So 'chimm' :faint:

[hubertkoh]

Our university entrance rate is 100%, none of my cohort did not get into university.


Engineering I think around 40%

Science 20%

Medicine 10%

Dentistry sub-5%

Law 5%

Accountancy also 5%

Rest is liberal arts college in US and Humanities/Social Sciences

I was one of the more enthusiastic students who took all 4 Honours (the maximum number) when I reached the specialization years. It's not that difficult if you study regularly every day. I had a habit of putting in about 5-6 hours of study almost every day.

I'd come home from school at around 6pm, have dinner and recreation for about half an hour to one hour, then start revision from 730pm til about 130am. Once its a habit its not that difficult.

Haha :imcool:

Haha :imcool:[/quote]Can share what are your 4 Honours subjects ? My DS1 is very keen/interested in Biology & Chemistry and he put in a lot of effort in these subjects but he feels that Bio 'suddenly' become so tough starting from year 2. He tries to read up before each lesson and does his revision after school but I think the pace is too fast. :yikes:

Of course, there are plenty. DSTA seems to be the most common, ASTAR as well. There are other corporate scholarships as well: Changi Airport Group, Keppel Group etc, and government scholarships such as HPB, MOE, etc. Taking up a scholarship is extremely common.
