ASEAN Scholarship Secondary 1 for 2011

JKYew · #1 23-05-2010 **ASEAN Scholarship Secondary 1 for 2011**

Hi, I am new here.

I am 12 this year and am applying for the ASEAN Scholarship. The test is on the 29th of May and the interview in around August.I have some questions.

English: Is the test like anything on SG's current school examination papers? Or is it something completely different? How will the essay part be like?

Maths: Same as above.

IQ: I did some IQ tests on the net.I heard that the Raven's Progressive Matrices is something like it. What are the minimum standards? Is 139 IQ on this one enough?

Interview:How long will it take? Normally what questions will be asked? How many interviewers are there? Are they strict? What should I wear?

I appreciate all help.

Hey, I will be taking the same test as you on the 29th, only im taking the form 3 one. I suppose you tried the raven's test at www.testovi.info/IQ-testing-free-IQ-tests.html? if you did not could you tell me where you did try it out? That would help alot. As for math and eng, yeah its based on singapore syllabus. Thats what I heard from a fellow frien of mine who is an asean scholar. Hope that helps =D

Yes, I did the same test as you.(The Test de Raven one)
I am from Penang by the way. What school are you from?
Nice to meet you.
Good luck! All the best!

Edit: BTW, I am asking if the test paper is completely the same as the exams in schools there, like PSLE, not if it is based on the syllabus. Also, since I am going to Secondary 1 next year, will the test be based on Primary 6 or Secondary 1?

Technically, its something like theirs. Well, their math and english is quite similar to ours. So not much difference. Yeah that test. Lol I am from Selangor. So anxious to sit for the test. You will be tested based on secondary 1 if I'm not mistaken.

How about the test on Secondary 3? My brother will be attending the test on 29th May too.(He is currently form 3)

Do English test has essay(s)?

@kaiyi : Oooh, really? Where is he taking the test? As in which centre? Yeah, the English test consists of an essay and some vocab questions. I heard it was kinda though. But nothing much we can really do about it. Just sit for it and hope for the best. =D

Sec 3 has a section on vocabulary, some comprehension passage and grammar, as far as I remember. There's an essay to write in 30 minutes. You are given two topic choices.

I didn't think it's tough. Well English (not the essay paper) was the one paper where I had excess time to do it.

His test center is sunway conventional center. How about you?

@kaiyi : Me too! which school is he from? =D
@lucky kid : Hmm, so its all subjective right? The essay only 30 min? Woah, that's gonna be a challenge. Are they factual essays or can be anything?

I think the comprehension is objective. And some of the grammar and vocabulary questions too. I remember one of the topics last year was 'A skill you would like to learn' or something like that. Can't remember the other one.
