How can I apply for SRP?
Interested eligible JC 1 H2 science students need first register to sit for an Aptitude Test and apply for participation in the Research Module Method (RMM).
If you have:
- Perform above average in the Aptitude Test
- Demonstrated interested in scientific research-related activities in Secondary School
- A recommendation from the school principal
then you have the chance of being selected out of a total 120 students for participation in the RMM.

- formulate hypothesis
- write abstracts based on given articles
