A Levels / JC
The Singapore-Cambridge General Certificate of Education Advanced Level (GCE A-Level) examination is an annual national examination that is taken by school and private candidates, in Singapore.
Upon completion of the course, students will sit for the Singapore-Cambridge General Certificate of Education (Advanced Level) examination as private candidates. The GCE ‘A’ Level examination is conducted jointly by the Cambridge Assessment International Education, the Ministry of Education, Singapore and the Singapore Examinations and Assessment Board (SEAB).
What is GCE ‘A’ Level?
The GCE A-Level certificate is a qualification that is widely recognised and valued by institutions and employers internationally. Students can use this qualification to progress into local and overseas institutions to further their education (subject to meeting admission criteria of those institutions).
A-Level private candidates in Singapore are required to take General Paper as a compulsory H1 subject and four other content-based subjects at H1 and H2 levels. Note that one of the four content-based subjects must be from a contrasting discipline. For example, you are not allowed to take all Arts subjects, such as Literature in English, History, Chinese Language & Literature and General Studies in Chinese.
Here is a list of subjects that we offer for the GCE ‘A’ Level:
