NSTC-10|Gateway to International Science Olympiads! (Pakistanis Only)

[OakMoon!]

If you ever wished to participate and represent your country in an international competition, this is a golden opportunity for you. A nationwide test is held in each of the four disciplines-Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Mathematics- which is followed by training camps of selected candidates. After further elimination, 4-5 students are selected for each of the 4 olympiads to be part of the team PAKISTAN. These olympiads are held in different countries around the world, and all your expenses are covered by the HEC. All you have to do is get shortlisted in the last 4 students.
Those who represent Pakistan have a huge achievement to add in their CV and bolster their chances to make it top universities around the world. Universities like HKU and NUS have specified scholarships for those who achieve medals in these Olympiads. Follow the links below to obtain more information and to register.
Let me remind you that even if you don't get shortlisted for the last 4 candidates, the training camps themselves are a lot of fun. Every subject has its own designated institution in a specific city. And getting together with some of the best intellectuals of the country in your favourite subject is an experience in itself. So make sure you atleast give it a try.
Btw, A2s are not allowed to participate.

Did you participate in this? How difficult was the test and do the questions come from matric/fsc syllabus?

 

[OakMoon!]

Yes, I participated twice in Mathematics and Biology. The questions are difficult but they are do-able. There are some fsc questions but most of the test is conceptual. If your O'levels and A1 concepts are good, you won't have a problem getting shortlisted.

Can you guide me on how to register as an O level student?

Just check out this link http://win.nstc.edu.pk/nstc/registration10.asp

Talk to your school administrator and tell him/her to write a letter. Send the letter along with the bank draft and the form to given address.

You can write your school exams marks. Or if it is allowed you can just leave it.

I have a query.i wish to participate in biology but I,m not sure whether i should study from f.sc books or my alevel books?the sample paper provided gives an idea that the test will be most probably be based on f.sc books.

 

[scouserlfc]

I want to participate in the chemistry thing in this but first i need to know its paper pattern and difficulty of those questions,so if u know the link to past papers please tell

 

[OakMoon!]

First of all its not that difficult. You don't need to prepare anything initially for the test. But do give your Alevels books a read. Yes, the test tends to incline towards the fsc syllabus but it would be a waste of time to cover all that. The questions are mainly conceptual unlike the ones given in the sample paper so you can do them. Just attempt whatever you know. And make sure that you write a lot in the 10 marks queastions. And hopefully you'll get selected.

4 of my friends have qualified for the top 15 for the physics olympiad in Pakistan
You need to be pretty good and should have an overall grasp on all topics

 

[OakMoon!]

how to prepapre,any papers,i have got sample papers but i have no answers so any one can help

Just your A'levels concepts. The sample paper is not a true representation of the paper. You'll find out that actual questions are quite different. Atleast, 2 years ago they were.
