Public secondary schools in Singapore are divided into four-year and five-year systems. The four-year middle school curriculum is divided into characteristic classes and crash courses. In the fourth year, you must take the O-level exam of the National Unified Cambridge in Singapore, and your grades will determine your promotion to middle school, junior college and science and engineering. The five-year middle school curriculum is mainly divided into academic courses and craft courses. Students in academic classes must take the' N' level exam in the fourth grade, and then they can be promoted to the fifth grade to take the Cambridge O-level exam. The students in the technical class have two main courses, English and Mathematics. They will take the Cambridge N-level exam in the fourth year. Most students go directly to technical colleges instead of fifth-grade courses after the N-level exam.
Admission to public schools requires students to take the AEIS exam in Singapore. The school will arrange your grades according to your exam results. Not like some students think. If you study Grade Two in China, you can study Grade Two in Singapore. Apply for Singapore public secondary schools and transfer to the first to third grades of Singapore secondary schools according to the test results. Those who can't pass the exam can take the S-AEIS exam in Singapore, but Singapore No.3 Middle School doesn't have this opportunity. The test questions are all in English, and the subjects are mainly English and mathematics. The school will allocate scores according to students' test scores. However, it is difficult to change classes in middle schools, and China students generally need to be demoted to keep up with their learning progress.
Introduction of AEIS examination in Singapore
The full name of AEIS in Singapore is admission exercise for international students, which is an international student entrance examination organized by the Ministry of Education of Singapore. The main enrollment targets are international students who want to attend public schools in Singapore. After passing the AEIS exam, students can enroll in Grade Two to Grade Five and Grade One to Grade Three.
AEIS only takes two exams: English and Mathematics. The test will mainly assess English reading and writing ability, mathematical calculation ability and logical thinking ability. In contrast, students in China have a good foundation in mathematics, and English is the focus of strengthening. The students who take the AEIS exam are generally international students, among which China students account for a large proportion, estimated at more than 50%. So they generally don't compete with students whose mother tongue is English. For China students, the probability of passing AEIS is guaranteed as long as they are trained in intensive classes for a period of time.
The AEIS test results are not announced to the public, only the admission notice and the admission school are announced. Whether a student is admitted to a government school depends not only on the exam results, but also on whether there are places in schools near his address. Therefore, be careful when filling in the address. If you choose a bad address, it may lead to good grades for your children, but no school will accept it.
