Examination time: from the end of July to the beginning of August every year.

Time to come to Singapore: 65438+ 10 to 165438+ 10.

The entrance examination is divided into four parts, namely, English written test, mathematics written test, aptitude test (IQ test-graphic inference question) and English interview.

The written test includes English, mathematics and aptitude test. Among them, mathematics is definitely the easiest subject, because it is tested in Chinese, and the content of mathematics in Singapore middle schools is extensive but not in-depth. The English exam will be more difficult, and there will be a composition of about 300 words. But English is not the most important criterion for enrollment, as long as it is not particularly poor (generally speaking, 80-90% of ordinary junior high school graduates will not pass the English exam unless their English is very good). Orienteering test is a kind of IQ test, which can complete (in fact, it is basically impossible to do) a problem of finding a regular map within a specified time (some people say it is like a graphic judgment problem in the civil service examination in China). Educators in Singapore believe that this IQ test can evaluate a student's logic and thus determine his future development space. If you fail the aptitude test, even if others do well, your chances of being admitted will be greatly reduced.

The interview procedure is decided by the school principals and teachers themselves, so the enrollment interview of each school is slightly different. For example, some schools may include short recitations and pictures from the Singapore Oral English Test in the interview. But overall, this interview is not particularly formal. Two (or more) teachers (or principals) face a student, mostly in English (I heard that very few school interviews are also in Chinese). Maybe it's because the candidates are still young. Teachers usually just ask some simple questions about study, interest and reasons for wanting to study in Singapore based on the materials you provide, such as transcripts and award certificates. Sometimes I talk about my family and my ideals, which is basically like chatting. As long as you don't get too nervous during the interview, look and talk properly, there will generally be no big problems.
