The Admission Exam for International Students is a unified entrance examination for foreign students organized by the Ministry of Education of Singapore, which affects tens of millions of international candidates and parents. All international candidates (aged about 7-16) who have not attended public schools in Singapore and are interested in enrolling in Primary 2 to Primary 5 and Secondary 1 to Secondary 3 can sign up for the AEIS exam.
If your child goes to school in Singapore at the kindergarten stage, then after completing kindergarten education and reaching the age requirement of 6, your child does not need to apply for AEIS and goes directly to the first grade of Singapore government primary school.
If children can't pass the AEIS exam or are too old, they can only choose private schools. If you attend a private school, you need your children to have good academic performance and high English level in order to pass the O-level or A-level exam and attend a public university in Singapore.
The AEIS exam mainly takes English and mathematics in September or 10 every 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.
The test scores of AEIS are not published, and in the end, candidates will only be informed separately whether they are admitted to the school. Whether a student is admitted or not depends not only on the exam results, but also on whether there are places in the schools near the address, so it is also important to choose the address.
PLSE: The Destiny-Deciding Junior High School Examination
PrimarySchoolLeavingExam(PLSE), the sixth grade exam, is an exam from primary school to junior high school in Singapore. Since Singapore's secondary schools adopt the application system (primary schools are compulsory and district system is adopted), PSLE scores are very important for entering secondary schools, and students can apply for secondary schools after obtaining the scores.
Although the University of Singapore is the same as the West? Wide in and strict out? But in fact, the real diversion has already started from the Primary Six Examination (PSLE). PSLE is comparable to the watershed of all candidates in Singapore, and the competition is extremely fierce. According to PSLE's score, Singapore students will enter secondary schools in different directions and higher education institutions at different levels, which can be described as a lifelong examination.
Students with PSLE scores will enter comprehensive programs offered only by Singapore schools. Students do not need to take the senior high school entrance examination (O-level examination), but can directly take the college entrance examination (A-level examination). The rest of the students will enter the fast class, general academic class and general technical class according to their grades.
Fast class for 4 years, then directly take the O-level exam, pass the exam and enter junior college (JC, equivalent to domestic high school), and finally take the A-level exam. Those who do well in the exam go to public universities, and those who don't do well go to polytechnic (POLY, equivalent to domestic universities).
Ordinary academic classes study for five years, and after four years, they have to take the N-level exam. After passing the N-level exam, they will continue to study for the fifth year. After the fifth year, you will take the O-level exam and enter junior college (JC, equivalent to domestic high school) after passing it, so you will have the opportunity to take the A-level exam. If you can't pass the N-level exam, you will miss the high school and college entrance examination, and you can only go to the technical school (ITE). Students in general technical classes can basically only go to technical schools in the end.
The Ministry of Education of Singapore began to use the T-score system (Tscore) to evaluate the test scores of Primary Six from 1982, but in July of 20 16, the Ministry of Education of Singapore announced that starting from 20021,the test scores of Primary Six would be replaced by eight grades. The purpose of this reform is mainly to reduce the phenomenon of excessive competition and change the concept of attaching too much importance to academic performance.
N-level test: a shunt test for ordinary classes in middle schools
The full name of N-level is Singapore-Cambridge General Qualification of Education Normal Level Examination, which is a unified examination jointly sponsored by the Ministry of Education of Singapore and the Examination Department of Cambridge University in the United Kingdom, and is aimed at middle school students who are studying five-year general courses. The N-level exam is held once a year, usually from June to mid-June 10 and February 12.
N-level exams are divided into two categories:
One is the general technical level, referred to as N(T) level. Students in general technical classes (four-year schooling) take this kind of examination, and after passing it, they enter technical schools (ITE) to study for technical diplomas, instead of taking the O-level examination.
The other is the general academic level, referred to as the N(A) level. Students in general academic classes take this test at the end of the fourth grade of middle school. The result of this exam will determine whether they will be promoted to Secondary Five, take the O-level exam or enter a technical school. Only students who pass the N-level exam and enter the fifth grade of middle school can have the same chance to take the O-level exam as students in Aauto Quicker class.
O level examination: secondary school graduation examination
The full name of the O-Level exam is the General Qualification Examination for Education, which is an annual graduation exam for middle school students in Singapore, Britain and about 65,438+000 countries around the world. Test scores can be used to apply for admission to higher education or vocational schools. Usually, candidates are around 15-20 years old, but there is no official limit on the age of candidates.
The O-level exam will continue to divert students who have finished middle school, and those who do well in the exam will enter junior college to prepare for the A-level exam. Students who don't do well in the exam can only enter science and engineering, and basically lose the opportunity to go to college. Although some students of polytechnic can finally enter the university through selection, these students only account for 5% of the whole school.
O There are many subjects to choose from in the proficiency test. Compulsory subjects include English, mother tongue (Chinese, Malay, Hindi), mathematics, humanities, etc. In addition, there are many subjects for students to choose from. The following are some popular subjects: advanced mathematics, advanced Chinese, physics, chemistry, biology, science (any two of physics, chemistry and biology are combined into one), accounting, geography, history and social science.
O grade total score is to add up the grade figures of each grade, so the smaller the total score, the better:
