Performance at the 2010 Int'l Olympiads for Science & Ma
Posted: Sat Jul 31, 2010 11:14 pm
The 18 medals won by Singapore students at the recently completed 2010 International Olympiads for Science and Mathematics are by students from 4 schools (with number of medals won indicated), namely:
RI - 7
NUS High - 7
HCI - 2
ACS - 2
What happens to other JCs and IP schools? It seems that top Maths & Science students prefer to go to RI and NUS High, followed by HCI and ACS.
