First, let's take a look at what the AEIS exam is.
The AEIS examination is launched by the Ministry of Education of Singapore, and the examination time is September or 10 every year. The results were published in February 65438. Students who passed the exam were assigned to Singapore government primary and secondary schools by the Singapore Ministry of Education. Students who pass the exam will enter school in June of the following year.
If international students fail to pass the AEIS exam that year, they can also sign up for the AEIS exam in February of the following year. Students who pass the exam will enter school in June of the following year.
Then look at the time, conditions, subjects and difficulty of registration and examination.
The registration time of AEIS exam is between July and August every year. The registration time for the S-AEIS exam is between 65438+ February of the following year and 65438+ 10.
The AEIS exam time is about September-10 every year. The time for the AEIS exam is between the end of February and March.
Conditions: All China students who have reached the age of 7- 16 in the year of registration can register for the AEIS exam.
Subjects: Math and English
Primary school: English test 120 minutes; Math test 80 minutes
Junior high school: English test 130 minutes; Math exam 75 minutes
Difficulty: AEIS exam subjects include mathematics and English. In contrast, students in China have a good foundation in mathematics, but English is the most important thing in their study.
It is suggested that you should apply for a six-month to one-year preparatory class for primary and secondary schools in Singapore before signing up for AEIS exam, which will greatly improve the success rate of successfully passing AEIS exam at one time.
AEIS is more difficult than domestic exams of the same grade. The most difficult thing is that the AEIS test is an all-English test, and the test subjects are English and mathematics. Mathematics is simpler than the knowledge of the same grade in China, so as long as you learn English well, the exam is not a problem.
Then I want to give you some advice.
1. Students with good English are advised to prepare for the AEIS exam 3-6 months in advance.
2. It is suggested that students with average English level should reserve at least one year to prepare for the AEIS exam.
3. It is best for students to take targeted AEIS exam training before the exam. According to the feedback from candidates, the admission rate of students who have participated in AEIS training far exceeds that of students who have not participated in training.
Students must realize that all textbooks, exams, lectures and homework in Singapore are communicated in English, so English learning is particularly important.
Finally, let's take a look at the benefits of studying abroad at a young age in Singapore.
1. The biggest feature of Singapore's education is the educational concept of combining Chinese and western, which is reflected in all stages of Singapore's education.
From primary school to middle school, schools teach in English, but at the same time they also offer mother tongue courses, and some schools also offer courses on China culture and history.
On this basis, Singapore's examination system refers to Britain and partly to the United States. After graduating from high school, you need to complete the Cambridge general and advanced level exams. At the same time, Singapore attaches great importance to education and has strict examinations. In this environment, children can not only lay a good foundation in English, but also remember the profoundness of Chinese, killing two birds with one stone.
Studying in secondary school or preparatory course in Singapore can be used to apply for top universities in Europe and America, which is the best springboard for developing into a third country.
Teaching in Singapore attaches great importance to teaching students in accordance with their aptitude. In addition to compulsory subjects, students can freely develop their nature and expand elective subjects according to their hobbies, including history, geography, painting and other courses, so as to truly realize the all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, beauty and labor.
The Singapore government has invested a lot of money to support the development of education.
Compared with many European and American countries, the Singapore government has spared no effort in supporting and investing in education. In the annual budget, education funds sit firmly in the second place, only after national defense expenditure.
According to the data, the total expenditure of education budget in Singapore accounted for 3.5% of GDP in 1997, and it has never been lower than this ratio in the future. However, in 2008, the proportion of China's fiscal education funds to GDP only reached 3.4%. It can be seen that Singapore is promoting the development of education with the strength of the whole country.
4. Catch up with American competitiveness
According to the report "20 17 Global Competitiveness Yearbook" published by Lausanne School of Management, Switzerland, Singapore ranks third in global competitiveness, second only to Hong Kong and Switzerland, and ranks first in Asia. As a small country with a small population, Singapore can leave the United States behind. What makes it so remarkable?
In fact, Singapore's success is mainly due to its educational advantages. Mainly manifested in attaching great importance to the development of education and human resources, but also improving the excellent education system and operating mechanism.
