Hi guys, I had submitted my online application of the ASEAN Scholarship.
Just wanna ask wheter i need to submit these thing...
i) Birth Certificate;
(ii) Identity Card / Passport (if any); and
(iii) Final Year Examination Result Slips for the last two years

from the site...confusing
All applicants are required to submit certified copies of the following items directly to the Singapore Ministry of Education:

(i) Birth Certificate;
(ii) Identity Card / Passport (if any); and
(iii) Final Year Examination Result Slips for the last two years

Ministry of Education
School Placement and Scholarships Branch
Level 3, Podium Block,
1 North Buona Vista Drive Singapore 138675

Hmm when I applied last year, I wasn't required to submit all these things. But now that you are asked to submit, I suppose you have to submit then.

I've submitted mine too, form 5 now. Just wondering,
1. Are we really required to write an essay during the selection test?
2. How long is the test held?
3. Where is the test location in Penang?
4. Do the Maths. questions include things that we haven't learnt yet?
5. How well should I be prepared for the test?

1. Yes, you will be required to write an essay in 30 minutes.
2. The test is half a day for the first day but it will drag really long. Second day is also half a day.
3. Not sure.
4. Not sure too. I'm from independent school so I dunno what you learn in form 4.
5. Very well because you are competing against so many other people.

Hi,

Re (4), if one is from an independent school, would the maths syllabus (till mid-year form5) have covered the questions in the test? Thanks!

Yes. You would have no problem solving the questions. But what is the key is that, the questions are focused more on your thinking skills than technic. So let's say you know how to do everything up till advanced calculus but can only do calculation and no problem solving skills, it is no use. You need to be able to twist and turn. At least from my experience and my seniors.

3. Where is the test location in Penang?
....Last time the test was held in Sunway Carnival Prai.

4. Do the Maths. questions include things that we haven't learnt yet?
....Maths question test your logic and thinking skills. Try doing IQ test also. You can find these IQ questions on the internet also, beside buying some IQ test books from the shops.

5. How well should I be prepared for the test?
....Depends on how badly you want the scholarship.
