Undergraduate Programmes » Prospective Undergraduates » MA1301 Proficiency Test
In general, freshmen without good H2 pass (or equivalent) in Mathematics/Further Mathematics are required to read MA1301 as a bridging course as one of their regular courses.
These students may choose to sit for the MA1301 Proficiency Test to assess if they have adequate background. If they pass the test, they would be deemed to have a good H2 pass (or equivalent) in Mathematics/Further Mathematics. Otherwise, they would have to read MA1301, provided they satisfy the prerequisite.
Freshmen with polytechnic diploma or IB Math qualifications can refer to https://www.math.nus.edu.sg/ug/prospective/noh2maths/ to determine whether they are would be considered to have good H2 pass (or equivalent) in Mathematics/Further Mathematics.
The MA1301 Proficiency Test is held in early July every year. Note that this is a proficiency test and NOT an advanced placement credit test. Freshmen who pass the test would not be given any grades or unit for MA1301.
In addition, students who are reading or who have read MA1301FC/MA1301X are not allowed to sit for the proficiency test.
