The Engineering
Subject Self Evaluation (ESSE) is an assessment
tool used for SAF officers who have been earmarked
for Command and Staff Course (CSC). The purpose
of the self-evaluation is to assess candidates'
knowledge in basic Mathematics and Physics in order
to gauge their suitability to attend the Graduate
Diploma Programme in Defence Technology and Systems
(DDTS).

|
The ESSE is administered by Temasek
Defence Systems Institute, National University of
Singapore. |
| |
|
|
| |
Based
on policy laid down by MINDEF, all officers who have
been earmarked for Command and Staff Course (CSC)
are to take the self-evaluation test to gauge their
knowledge in basic Mathematics and Physics so to prepare
themselves for the DDTS Programme. |

|
|
| |
|
Candidates
are to register for the ESSE through their respective
Service PMCs. SCSC will consolidate the list of candidates
from the PMCs and submit the final list to TDSI at
least 10 days before the date of ESSE. |

The Engineering Subject
Self-Evaluation is a paper-based test. The test paper
consists of 50 multiple-choice questions (MCQs). Candidates
must attempt all the 50 questions. Each question carries
2 marks. No marks will be given for un-attempted questions.
|
|
|
Some important formulae
relevant to the topics will be given as part of the
questions at the test. |
|
|
Some questions will
require some simple working and basic calculations.
Blank papers will be provided to work out the answers.
There is no requirement to submit calculations. |
| |
|
| The questions are
not inter-related. Therefore candidate may answer
the questions in any sequence. |
| |
|
Only non-programmable calculators
are allowed, see more details at Attachment
I. |
| |
|
| Candidates are to manage
your time properly so as to answer all the test questions
on time. As a guide, candidates should not spend more
than 3.5 minutes in each question. |
| |
|
The test for 2006/2007 will be conducted:
