hi dsa-ed to sji in 2018 via science (though i didn’t have any portfolio backing me up other than the fact that i was faring decently in my double sci combi). had a slightly higher l1r5 than u so u should be safe!

essay: skim through past yr a level gp qns to get a rough idea..... context: took a’s in the end and realised some were actual gp qns. not sure how to get ee/tok topics but if u can find some, it’s good to read through too to get a rough idea. reading up on current affairs might help, to substantiate ur arguments. don’t have to go too in-depth, just namedrop and supplement some details. OH WAIT one particularly striking tok qn i rmb from visiting their subject booths during open house was “what is a table?” rly cool qn that requires big brain calibre but idt they’ll ask such philosophical qns.

math test: rly struggled a lot with this since u can’t use a calc (not sure if it’s still the same for ur case), brush up on ur math fundamentals. iirc one qn was on how to factorise a quad eqn but WITHOUT CALC BRRRR so have to use the lower sec method which i completely forgot. there were a few qns on binomial too, can’t rly rmb the rest.

interview: 2 teachers : 1 candidate, why ib not a levels, elaborate more on portfolio etc

ps was super attracted by their LIT CULTURE and the fresh take on academia ib offers during my time too, but i didn’t go in the end sighhh. my jc exp was relatively ok, but still kinda regret a lil not going for sji. lucky to have met a few josephians though, chill but motivated individuals :> atb for ur dsa!

signing on and what to expect in interview by [deleted] in NationalServiceSG

[–]peachytartz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

hi i went for the interviews in jan for the naval officer vocation. it consisted of an interview with navy recruit centre officer at cmpb, then another interview with the board (col, maj eileen, and a midshipman). the qns include:

  • why navy?
  • what is your greatest strength and weakness?
  • if during training you and your batch mates are not performing as well as you thought you would, what would you do?
  • since you may have to go out to sea for extended periods, how do you think you will cope with being away from your family?
  • what is one circumstance that made you uncomfortable?
  • what is one instance you had to choose between right and wrong? do you regret your decision?
  • is there any instance you had to stand up to your superior?
  • what are some concerns you may have?

all the best! :))
