Did he get a good result, if yes, send to them and let's see it is helpful.

If he achieved double distinction in Maths and problem solving, it's a great achievement and he can apply a summer program in Imperial College this summer. I know a girl got in BPS, but I am sure her ranking is high in the school.

好在你哋提起, 好感恩我小朋友攞到雙優, 咁我咪要寄番張cert copy 申請果間直資學校. 好在自行兩間未交表啫.

另外, 想知道 summer果 course 多d資料, 有無人可以講下. thx.

Go to HKUST web site, search World Class Arena and you can find summer program's there, some local some overseas.

I think this is not very useful. The test is too easy. If I am not mistaken, close to 1/3 of participants got distinction.

I just say he can use the qualification to apply some summer programs, I didn't say it's useful for secondar admission. If your kid got double distinction, still an achievement.

For my son's school, 6 kids got an interview from DBS early last month. All of them got world class arena distinctions even some's ranking is not top 10 of the school. Some top 10 kids who didn't get an distinction in world class arena do not have any interview so far.

Thanks for your information.  He only attended Maths test but he got distinction.  By the way, does your son study in Kowloon Tong?  I learnt from my son that 6 schoolmates were also offered from DBS but some of them have 特異功能.

wildcat_hk,

Yes. He also studies in Kowloon Tong. Do u mind pm me your son's name? They might be in the same class.

DBS altogether interviewed 6 kids based on academic side and 5 kids based on sports side so far. 4 kids of academic side were given the offer. 2 of them got double distinctions while the other 2 got distinction in maths only. For the 5 kids of sports side, all 5 were given offer but one was also given offer from LS. So only 4 from sports accepted the offer. Now altogether 8 kids holding the offers.

如果自行已交表，那是否不能再提交新的證書？因為張form無reference number…

Besides world class arena, did any of your son also take the 香港奧數比賽? I heard this exam is also highly reconized.

No, he just got this one

One Maths competition organised by Po Leung Kuk called Hong Kong Primary School Competition, all students are top 3-5% of the school in Maths. The final ranking is represented their HK ranking in Maths. I feel this competition is more representative than other competition.

Another one is Talent Search of EPGY.... If you get higher distinction, you can apply those summer programs in Stanford.

這是不是大家所說的"特異功能"

My son pretty good in Maths and sit for most Maths competitions as mentioned in this thread.

After some summer program's in some top notch international universities in USA and Uk, he changed his view in Maths in terms of application and career.

Some competition results come from drilling, that's not his cup of tea, because he is lazy and prefer do more with less.

He attended two program's in Imperial College, he visited Barclays Bank and got some understanding on application of Maths in investment models. In the Innovation program, he learnt how to prepare a business plan and do some pilot business in the campus. He discovered do calculation and as good as you can come up ideas, well prepare and well present.... He can be an entrepreneur, he also accepted that upto some level language proficiency may be more critical than other subjects.

I hope you all know why I put great summer programs in front of Maths competitions........
