NUS High School of Mathematics and Science (Diploma)

kiasuest2:

I beg to differ; students who has taken H3 subjects and meet the minimum grades DO get exemptions WITHOUT the need for further tests to determine exemptions;

Sorry for the off-topic in this NUS High thread ...

Agree with kiasuest2 that some who have taken H3 subjects and meet minimum grades do get exemptions without further tests. However, for some modules, even a distinction in H3 requires to take an exemption test. It really depends on which university and which modules. I extracted below from http://www.spms.ntu.edu.sg/mas/Undergraduates/Exemption.html

MAS114 Linear Algebra I
Direct exemption: International Mathematical Olympiad Medalist/Honorable Mention may be granted exemption without having to take the Exemption Test.

Through Exemption Test: Students who meet any of the following conditions may apply to take the Exemption Test. Exemption for this course is granted to those who pass the Exemption Test.
A level candidates: Students with Distinction in H3 Mathematics.
Polytechnic candidates: Students who have passed advanced mathematics courses beyond the standard curriculum (e.g., CEM in SP, Advanced Engineering Mathematics at NP, etc).
Others: Students who have the equivalent of Distinction in H3 Mathematics.

Hi All

Just got an email from NUSHS that my DS is offered a place in the school. How do we submit the transfer form from S1 posting school ? Should we visit the S1 posting school on 22nd to request for relieving from that school as we wish to take up NUSHS offer? Please reply if anyone has any information on this . Congratulations to all the kids who have made it to NUSHS :celebrate:

Thanks Chocky & Congrats to your DD.


NUSH students’ parents: Does it not automatically convey to MOE that, S1 offer has been declined, once NUSH’s offer is accepted? NUSH is asking for a transfer letter from the S1 posted school, to confirm to NUSH that the S1 offer has been declined. This is laborious! Did you have to undergo the same when your kid got into NUSH?

NUSH post-PSLE admissions goes in parallel with MOE S1 posting exercise. Hence, it requires the student to report to the MOE posted school and then seek transfer to NUSH. This also applies to students who have been posted to other schools during DSA exercise and seek to study at NUSH post-PSLE results.

On the plus side, the student applying to NUSH and also participating in S1 posting exercise has 6+1 options.
