That is not necessarily true, but many of us got scholarships at Singapore universities. It depends largely on your grades as well. You could also become a permanent resident, which is easier and faster to get as a scholarship student while studying there. That will increase your chances of getting the scholarships, or you'll pay lower tuition fees if you don't get one.

I am studying in the US right now

@@itzguech8086 which school were you in Singapore. Do you have a list of school for those obtained ASEAN scholarship?

@@sekyw7180 I was posted to Ngee Ann Secondary School, then Tampines Meridian Junior College. I don’t have a list of schools. you typically don’t get to choose which school you will go to in secondary school (depends on MoE) though so it doesn’t matter that much.

@@aderd6314 I am not sure what do you mean. Can you perhaps clarify?

how did it goo

@@kikisala-q1j for now, I’m planning to take cs and econs. Financial aids and scholarships are generally available for US colleges, but u will have to stand out as intl to have the chance esp with t-50s and with competitive courses like pre-med, cs, etc.

​​​@@itzguech8086helloo! i have a few questions i want to ask you (1) do you think it's worth studying dentistry after the scholarship ends? (2) are there any scholarships available in American countries esp in the US that offer dentistry? (3) did you already know what you want to do/course to take in college before you accepted the scholarship (because you had to choose your subject combinations and such)?

@@LoiVera 1. Why not do it if that’s what you want?! 2. I am not sure about that as I never applied for dentistry myself. You might be able to find answers for that on Google. 3. Not really. I didn’t specifically select my courses in the first two years in secondary school. you’ll have to decide which path you want to take in junior college (STEM or ARTs). You’ll have a lot of time to explore as well.

​@@itzguech8086thank you sm!

hello again!! i just want to ask how many CCAs you took in sec 3-4 and is it advisable if I choose 2-3 CCAs? thank you!

@@_6ellehi!! 1. They don’t prohibit you from using your own devices - hostel, school, public places etc. Not all schools require their students to purchase iPads; some require students to purchase laptops. Different schools have different rules on the use of electronic devices in the classroom including your personal IPad, so check with your school of u end up getting the offer. Definitely bring yours! 2, 3. Laundry room is in every hostel, but gym and computer room may or may not present. The pantry generally has microwave, water dispenser, sink, and refrigerator. We usually buy our own utensils. 4. I can’t rmb everything, but what I can recall are: brief self introduction, why Singapore, why ASEAN scholarship, what did I know about Singapore, my dream job, my life back at home, situational questions about conflict management, and did I really want the scholarship. Imo, being authentic is very important. 5. Hall officiers will try to do that, but different hall might have different arrangements. Hope this helps and thanks for sharing your experiences! Best of luck for your interview!

thank uu

May I know when will they inform us of the decision? Have they informed you yet.

@_6elle have you been informed of the decision already?

no, i’m expecting it to be around september 22-30 as that’s the eta!

@@k_its_evy heyy!! 1. Yes, you’ll need to submit your test scores when you apply. You might need to submit proofs for extracurricular activities and awards too. During my year, we didn’t need to submit proofs for extracurricular activities. 2. If you are in grade 10 or about to finish when you apply, I think it’s quite doable, not too difficult! But you’ll need to familiarize yourself with the English terms and practice questions if you haven’t done so. Check this folder out! drive.google.com/drive/folders/1_wgh9zkZMNudxhBcdziTyqNBIwi3EulK 3. I would think so as long as you have some trainings for it outside school curriculum. If you get awards, list them in the award section too. Hope this helps! You can reach out to me via Ig too @chhiv_guech

@@JuanMasihBelajar depends on each hostel’s policy but generally I didn’t find it strict at all. There are some equipments you shouldn’t have like things that can cause fire. There are curfew time, compulsory study time, emergency drills etcs.

@@itzguech8086 Thanks😄

@@Hor968 yes, you must translate documents that you’ll be submitting if they are not in English. I translated myself, but I won’t recommend it. Consider seeking translation companies as they are more professional and official.

@@darius8383 I formatted it pretty similarly to my original documents. I didn’t translate my grades; I just translated the words. It is also a good idea to attach the original transcripts with the translated versions when you submit your application. Include references as to how good your grades are too in case they don’t understand your grading system.

@@itzguech8086 thank you so much for answering! For my birth certificate, do I need to translate it too?

@@darius8383 yes, you will need to translate all of the documents, including your birth certificate, if they are not in English.

these products are fine!

@itzguech8086 okk, thanks for your reply!! I wanna ask you again, what subjects are you learning in there?? are you only learning English or are you learning other languages like Chinese or malay??

@@ninditakusuma1264 I got exempted as my mother tongue wasn’t taught in school. If your mother tongue is one of the official mother tongue languages, you’ll be required to take that language as well.

@itzguech8086 what are the official mother tongue languages??

@ninditakusuma1264 check this out: www.moe.gov.sg/primary/curriculum/mother-tongue-languages/learning-in-school

@@enha1872generally, other options might not be provided in the bathroom. But, there is no rule stating that you can only use toilet paper.

@@EubenHope Thanks so much!

@@Itsnikarika academics is the most important thing. Personally, I believe that having a few CCAs on top of that, especially leadership-related activities, are useful. Leadership is also what they are looking for in the candidates, too. You can refer to the ASEAN scholarship’s website for this.

@@itzguech8086but my school didn’t really have like the CCA, like students council or sport club as you’ve mentioned, can you recommend what I should do about this?

@@Itsnikarika my school also didn’t really have CCAs, but I was fortunate to be the class president for all my time in school. I suggest finding similar roles in the class? Like subject representatives, class president etc. The thing about CCAs is that you can create one yourself. Find something you are interested in doing (e.g: community services, singing, sports, etc) and gather people in your school or your friends who have interest in it and make tangible impacts. It can be done physically or virtually. It’s also an enriching experience as well. Joining competitions can be considered as CCAs. Hope this helps!

@@itzguech8086wait, I thought joining a competition count as academic achievement!

@@itzguech8086oh, if I apply, I will fail the “CCAs” for sure🥲 being a class president is impossible to me

hey! I received at about 2 weeks before my departure, so don’t worry about it!

thank you! additional question, who will book the flight for us?

@@railey-x8qThis information will be made know to you via email closer to your departure date. I was informed by the embassy for the exact travel details, a few days after I received the email.

Hello! The music room is available for all boarders. Typically, you need to book the room. In the hostel I lived, there are only keyboard and some traditional instruments. It’s more of like the room for you to practice musics. So, definitely bring your own if you need to perform or practice.

Thank you for answering my question! I would also like to know if there is a printer available in the hostel, and do you think that getting an iPad is a necessity while studying there? What type of devices do you recommend that new students should bring with them? Thank you!

@@SummerNight-kn1cq yes, the printer is available. For the devices, i would argue that an iPad/Tablet is very useful because: 1. You can take notes in it if you don’t want to carry many books around. 2. There are like numerous past papers and worksheets you will need to do for schools or for your exam preparations. Buying them all the time can be expensive. 3. An iPad/Tablet (with the keyboard) is more useful than laptop if you are not gonna do coding or other projects that need laptop. But, it depends on your preferences. My secondary school in Singapore required us to buy school subsidized iPad so I got super used to using iPads. I also used laptop since I studied computing. But, overall iPad is super useful. If you are gonna need an iPad, you can buy it in Singapore too because there is Apple Education here so you’ll pay less and probably get more free stuff. Also, your school might require you to buy one FROM SCHOOL. So, I suggest don’t buy it from your own country first.

Oh, it really depends. You have different options! Many like to stay in Sg. Some go to the UK or the US. You can also come back to study in your home country if you want. For your sister, if she wants to study in Singapore after the 4 years, she can take up permanent resident (PR) in Singapore during her study there. With PR, u stand a better chance of getting scholarships in universities there. Even without scholarships, you will pay less in Singapore’s universities. With very good grades, you also have high chances of getting the scholarships. For me, I applied to a few US and Singapore’s universities. Scholarships are everything for me. I ended up choosing the US over Singapore’s universities as the scholarship packages are greater. I rlly don’t know how helpful this is. I am trying to share as much as I can, but also don’t want to expose myself on the internet. U can dm me on ig @chhiv_guech if you want to know more.

You’re welcome :). For classmates, most will be Singaporeans since you are going to the public school, but there are international students and permanent residents too. You might not be studying with your scholar friends if you have different subject combinations. For the allowance part, they will give u total amount once every 3 months (at least it’s like this for the past years) = (250-low 300) x 3.

Hi! Thank you for answering my previous question. A few days ago, I received an email from MOE saying that I have to undergo a few medical checkups for my medical clearance. It says that that a Mission group from my country will contact me to explain the procedures. How long did it take your country's mission group to contact you after receiving the email from MOE? And what were the procedures of the check up, if I may ask? Thank you again!

@@rchl.humblb sorry, I couldn’t recall about this at all but don’t worry about it. They will do so soon. As for the checkup, it’s just regular a checkup. They’ll refer you to specific clinic/hospital. Then, you’ll be required to do things like eyesight test, color blind test, chest x-ray etc.

It could be hard because there are like 25 questions or so. I also didn’t finish my paper and left about 4 questions. It could be do to my lack of preparation because i believe you can finish it if u are familiar with all topics in English. But more importantly, u need to be sure that whatever that you’ve done are correct. Hope that helps!

I only had 2 weeks to prepare and I’m reallyy nervous, especially i have to learn all sec 3 in one week. What are the hardest questions in your opinion? (Material wise)

@user-jo2md4tl6i I actually can’t recall much about the test, but I would say they were not very difficult for me. Questions in quadratic equations, equations and inequalities, coordinate geometry, trigonometry, and plane geometry and angle properties of circle(finding angles) are likely to come out (I don’t remember about other topics). Don’t forget to study significant figures cuz you will probably be asked to write your answers in different significant figures. Sth I didn’t think was tested in my year was number patterns (kinda like basic sequence, but only one question). U can also reach out to me on IG @chhiv_guech as well if u prefer to talk over there.

@@itzguech8086 Were you perhaps an olimpiade student? Thank youu

@@user-jo2md4tl6i oh, exponential too. I’m not an Olympiad student haha although I used to participate in math contests. I already learnt many of the concepts in school that time, just that it’s not in English. The questions are definitely nowhere near Olympiad level questions so don’t worry about it.

Hey! I tried my best to find some resources from the internet. While these may not be super accurate, they will help you a lot for the tests. Here is the link to the Google drive folder I created: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1_wgh9zkZMNudxhBcdziTyqNBIwi3EulK Please notify me if you can’t access this.

@@itzguech8086 I can access the link❤️ Thank you!!

Don’t worry, I can completely understand your concerns. It really depends a lot on the other candidates applying for the exams, their grades and qualifications, lucks as well as the number of candidates this year for your country. I really hope you receive your invitation soon! 🤞🙏 As long as it is before selection date, there is still hope!

@@itzguech8086 Thank you so much!!

@@itzguech8086 Can ik when do they usually mail?? In website it said the emails will be delivered one week ahead from exam.

@@LAURA-u6e4n I can’t remember when I had the tests (can’t find it on my email, they called me instead), but I got the invitation at around June/July as the deadline that year was June and I submitted at around end of May. Like you said 1 week before the test, but they can also send to candidates way before that depending on their time availability, candidates’ qualifications etc. When is the selection test date for your country?

@@itzguech8086 It's June 22nd here, ohh they also call candidates insteading of mailing too?

Hmm, I have explained about all of them in my video, maybe you can try watching that part? I can’t explain everything here because it’s gonna be a super long. Basically, you’ll be taking Math, English, (and IQ/General Ability Test for some countries if I’m not wrong). For interview, I suggest you watch this video. You’ll converse with a few interview panels who are MoE officers and school principals etc.

Hi, did u get any email/information for interview?

Hey! At the time, they reached out to me through phone calls. I am sorry I couldn’t remember the exact date. But, I submitted my application around May, and I probably got the invitation in June/July. I hope you receive the selection tests invitation soon! All the best!

@@itzguech8086 oh this is making me very worried because ive gotten a few calls from unknown numbers that ive ignored.. was the number that you got called a registered sg number? aka +65? thank you!

@@mikejimas the calls were from the embassy. I think they should be my country code. But if you want to be clear, you can try receiving those calls too! U can always hang up afterwards.

@@itzguech8086 ahh how do i receive those calls? sorry for asking a lot of questions TT

@@mikejimas oh, no. I meant if these unknown callers call you, you can try receiving their calls just to make sure that you don’t miss out on the invitation, if the embassy does call you via phone.

Hey! I got my offer in September. If I am not wrong, I took the tests around May-June.

@@itzguech8086 Thank you!

hello fellow indonesian! wanted to ask if youve gotten an email for the selection test? tysm!

@@mikejimas I have not gotten the email or offer yet, how about you?

@@Dase-kt1bd i also haven't, very glad im not alone!

As in during selection test? If i am not wrong, I wrote discursive/argumentative essay. I can’t recall the prompt, but it might be something like this: ‘’ (quote or saying here) ‘’ What are you views?. But there are usually a few prompts for u to choose from. I heard they like to ask descriptive essays. Hope this answer ur question!

Congratulations on receiving the offer! I’ll try my best to answer your questions. 1. I was offered the scholarship in grade 10. I had exams and went to school until the very end of grade 10. My departure date was during the holiday so our situation is a bit different. If you decide to accept the scholarship, I suggest that you tell your teachers and consult with them on what you can do. Otherwise, I think that it’s not a bad idea to continue (unless u have better and more meaningful things to do) because what u will be learning might help ur studies in Singapore. 2. Hmm, if u accept the scholarship, you will definitely be informed, usually via email, one of two months before your departure date. They booked and paid the plane ticket for me. I think it will be the same for you, but I can’t guarantee for sure since it’s been almost 5 years since I got my scholarship. 3,4. Yes, usually once every few months. U can expect around 250-low 300 SGD/month depending your level (secondary or Junior college). It was enough/more than enough for me, but note that I don’t spend a lot. Just for groceries (snacks, fruits, food, etc), uniforms, studying materials, transports, eating out once or twice per week, it’s more than enough. It depends on ur lifestyle. Bed linen , food (breakfast and dinner), health insurance (for visiting clinic only) are provided. If you need anything other than that you need to purchase them on your own. do bring some money with you bc u might not receive your allowance immediately. Hope these answers your questions. If you have anymore questions, feel free to ask. I will make another video for that.

Did you get the scholarship sec 3? Can i ask what questions did you get for the essay?

@@chillsourdream Hi! If I remember correctly, we were asked to pick one out of three different topics. The topic/question I chose was "People should always tell the truth. Do you think there are any situations in which this might not be the best thing to do?" (To answer your first question, yes) If you know how to express your idea, I'm sure this will be easy for you. Good luck!

​@@rchl.humblbhiii, how about the math test? do you remember any of the questions? and where are you from? anw, congrats🎉

@@anakpinter6612It mainly consists of geometry and finding missing values, the first part consisted of algebra for me in the Philippines. They would just give you blank boxes to work on, no multiple choices hehe

Hmm.. I’m actually not the best at this. I personally don’t have any ‘tips’. I had always calculated manually back then. So, I think that practices and repetitions will help u a lot in becoming more efficient when solving problems without calculators!

It probably differs from country to country, but, from my experience, finishing all questions isn’t super necessary. The most important thing is to finish the majority and getting them right.

Thanks for the information! I’ll update accordingly.

The application deadline was on 29 Feb

Hello! This typically lasts 4 years (9th to 12th grades). Normally, the first two years will be for O-Levels. If your scores meet minimum requirement to renew the scholarship, you can go to either Junior College(do A-Level) or IB depending on the school you get into with your O-Level results. Hope this clarify your question! Here is the link if you want to know more about this scholarship: www.moe.gov.sg/financial-matters/awards-scholarships/asean-scholarship
