Out-of-Stream (OOS) Subjects
• Every student is unique and possesses different
strengths. Taking subjects at a higher academic level can
help students nurture their strengths and give them
more opportunities throughout their educational
journey, so that they are more engaged in learning.
• Students in N(A) courses can take OOS subjects (Exp-
Level) at Secondary 3, to build a stronger foundation in
subjects that they are good at.
7
Benefits of OOS Subjects
• Taking OOS subjects allows the students to challenge themselves, and to have more options for Sec 3 subject combinations and post-secondary courses.
• A strong foundation in literacy, numeracy and reasoning, would ensure students are better prepared for various post-secondary progression pathways (e.g. to ITE and Polytechnic).

Important Considerations in Selection
9
Important points to consider:
Interest in the subject-students tend to excel in the subjects they are interested in.
Competency in the subject-it’s a good indication that students can cope with the subject at a higher level
Understanding the demands of the subject
Eg. Art, D&T and NFS are coursework subjects, which require
good time management skills and consistent work.
