Yes, they assess every applicant as a whole package and not under any specific area alone.

There should be open houses in April - look out for announcements on website.

NJC has an entrance exam comprising a 3 hour High Ability Test that covers logic & English. There was also an interview session for shortlisted candidates. Don’t think there is DSA by CCA as far as I know.

Has anyone applied for SST? My DS is very keen on that school.


It is a 100% DSA, so any tips on how to prepare him for the same will be helpful..

Nothing much, really. Just follow what they require on their website. We didn't prepare anything with our son actually. Just go for the test and camp and wait to be selected.

my sis son got into SST this year, he gave the written exam and after that they had a camp activity where they select the candidate based on team work and leadership skills

hi all,

I am new comer and like to know if NUS High does DSA selection mainly through Maths n Science base on P4 results onwards ?
Any sharing from any successful parent is very much useful as a guide. Sorry if I miss any similar communication on this topic before.

NUS High has a written exam to short list students who are invited to a full day science camp. Here they are screened for certain skills and abilities . What are the skills is not mentioned.

You can also mention their primary school results from P5 and P6 sa1 - all subjects. I dont think p4 is needed, cant remember

Any other competition mats /science certs would be good - typically olympiads.

All the best for your child
