How DeepThink supports Ang Mo Kio Secondary School students
G1, G2, and G3 students are in separate classes, each covering the content and exam format for that stream
O-Level, N-Level, and SEC exam preparation built in from S3, matched to the stream your child is sitting
E-Math and A-Math taught in separate classes from S3 onwards
S1 to S5 coverage so your child can stay with DeepThink for their entire secondary journey without switching centres
The programme
What your child gets at DeepThink
Secondary Math is not one-size-fits-all. A G1 student preparing for the SEC exam needs completely different content from a G3 student heading for A-Math. We keep streams in separate classes so every session is relevant.

Frequently asked questions
Clear answers for parents
Does my child's stream affect which class they join at DeepThink?
Yes. G1, G2, and G3 students each have their own class, so every lesson matches the exact syllabus and exam format your child is sitting.
My child is doing okay in S1/S2 but I'm worried about the jump to S3. Is it too early to start?
S3 is where most students hit a wall — the syllabus gets significantly harder, A-Math is new, and SEC exam (or O-Level for the current Sec 4 cohort) prep begins. Students who build strong foundations in S1–S2 handle that jump far better. Starting early is the highest-leverage move a parent can make.
When is the right time for a secondary student to start tuition?
S1 is ideal — algebra gaps from the start of secondary compound quickly and are harder to fix later. That said, students who join in S3 or S4 can still benefit significantly from targeted exam preparation.
What makes DeepThink different for secondary students?
Stream-specific classes. Every lesson, worked example, and past-year paper is matched to your child's stream.
School Overview
Ang Mo Kio Secondary School (AMKSS) was founded in 1979 as the first secondary school in the then-developing Ang Mo Kio New Town. It is a co-educational government school operating on a single-session model with no affiliations to any primary school or autonomous status. The school's motto is "Always Strive for the Best," and its vision centres on cultivating a culture of learning, a mindset for excellence, and a spirit of service.
AMKSS runs two signature programmes that define its educational approach. The Applied Learning Programme (ALP) in Environmental Science and Technology focuses on sustainability through hands-on STEM projects spanning biodiversity, energy and resources, and electronics and coding. The Learning for Life Programme (LLP) in Music and Performing Arts integrates aesthetics education with character development through drama, visual arts, dance, and music. The school's flagship arts event, Night of Music, Arts & Dance (NOMAD), brings student performances to the wider community. AMKSS also implements Full Subject-Based Banding (FSBB) from Secondary 1, allowing students to take subjects at different levels based on their individual strengths.
Admission Process
Admission to AMKSS at Secondary 1 takes place through the PSLE posting exercise and the Direct School Admission (DSA) scheme.
For the PSLE route, places are allocated based on Achievement Level (AL) scores. Based on the 2024 intake, the indicative cut-off points were: Posting Group 3 at AL 10-15, Posting Group 2 at AL 21-24, and Posting Group 1 at AL 25-28. These figures represent the score of the last student admitted in that cycle and may shift year to year depending on demand. As a non-affiliated school, there are no affiliation-based priority considerations.
The DSA scheme allows Primary 6 students to apply for a place before PSLE results are released. AMKSS accepts DSA applications in performing arts categories (choir, concert band, English drama, contemporary dance) and sports (badminton, volleyball). Applications are submitted through the MOE DSA portal, which typically opens in May each year.
AMKSS follows the O-Level track and does not offer the Integrated Programme (IP). Under Full Subject-Based Banding, students are placed in mixed form classes and can take subjects at G1, G2, or G3 levels depending on their PSLE performance and individual strengths.
Curriculum and Academic Programme
AMKSS offers the GCE O-Level curriculum with core subjects including English Language, Mother Tongue Languages (Chinese, Malay, Tamil), Mathematics, Additional Mathematics, and the Sciences (Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and combined Science options). Humanities subjects cover Social Studies paired with Geography, History, or Literature in English. Elective subjects include Art, Music, Design and Technology, Smart Electrical Technology, Elements of Business Skills, and Computer Applications. Subject availability varies by cohort and FSBB level.
The school has received recognition including the MOE School Excellence Award (2018) and the MOE Green School Award (2019). Alumni achievements include a Lee Kuan Yew Award for Normal Course recipient in 2023. The ALP in STEM sustainability provides additional depth through project-based learning, while bilingual education tracks are available for students with language strengths.
For students looking to strengthen their Mathematics results alongside the AMKSS curriculum, DeepThink is a specialist math tuition centre offering structured programmes aligned to the O-Level and N-Level syllabuses that can help reinforce classroom learning.
