VICTORIA Junior College student Sophie Chew has been awarded the Angus Ross Prize 2010.

The Angus Ross Prize is given to the best performance in the November GCE A-Level Literature in English examinations by a non-UK candidate, and is open to all candidates (outside the UK) taking the various A-Level Literature in English syllabuses examined by University of Cambridge International Examinations (CIE).

A spokesman from University of Cambridge International Examinations said: ‘The Cambridge Angus Ross Prize is open to students around the world, and once again it has been won by a student from Singapore – an impressive record of achievement.’

The Angus Ross Prize winner is selected by a group of senior examiners who look for, among other criteria, maturity of thought and brilliance of expression in students’ scripts.

The prize is named after Dr Angus Ross in honour of his long association with CIE as chairman of the A-Level Literature in English Examiners.
