http://oas.highsch.nus.edu.sg/NMOS/

Does getting into special round ensure at least a bronze?

Think it's at least a silver.
Your child in 2nd round? Congrats. :rahrah:
DD got in 2nd round too and she's around.

It's more like a guaranteed bronze; understand some received bronze last year and they got into the special round. Congrats to all shortlisted candidates!!

DD took the paper and feedback was also tough paper. Seems they increasing difficulty level each year…

P4 GEP science will be tested on so many topics? Oh Gosh I thought they will only be tested on Matter and Heat which is what has been covered so far

Thanks !! What is Diversity of living things? Is that reproduction of plants and animals? Or is that the topic on classification of living things? If latter, it's a p4 topic right?

Hi, Any P5 gep parents out there…do you have the topics to be covered for next week’s science SA1?

I believe P5 and P6 still under junior category; will need to know the number of participants on the percentile to qualify for dist/credit/etc to better interpret the performance.

P6 is under open category.
Yah, hard to know without info on the actual number of participants. DS (P6) managed 95.87 percentile, but under cert of credit ie. 51-120. So I believe need to be at least 96-97% to get into top 50.

Since P5 & P6 under different categories, are they being graded together? So the top 50 includes both P5 and P6 and they take the same paper?
