Academics
Preparatory Course for GCE N-Level
DESCRIPTION. This is the annual Singapore-Cambridge General Certificate of Education (Normal Level) Examination. The examining body is the University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate (for subjects taken in English), and the Ministry of Education, Singapore (for Mother Tongue Languages).
Entry Requirements. To be able to enrol in our N-Level program, applicants must be at least 15 years old as of 1st January of the examination year.
Curriculum Subjects. In accordance with the joint admission exercise (JAE) students seeking admission into polytechnics must take 3 core subjects and 2 elective subjects. You may choose to take all 5 subjects in one academic year or to combine two consecutive results when applying for local polytechnics, after attempted GCE ‘O’ Level.
Core Subjects
- English Language
- Elementary Mathematics
- Combined Science (Physics / Chemistry / Biology)
Elective Subjects
- Mother Tongue (Chinese/Malay/Tamil)
- Combine Humanities (Social Studies with Geography or History)
- Pure Humanities (Geography and/or History)
- Principles of Accounts
To allow smooth transition towards the GCE ‘O’ Levels, students are adviced to take 5 subjects inclusive of English and Mother Tongue. Students are recommended to take 1 science and 1 humanities subject to allow further advancements in their studies.
Lesson Timings (weekdays). Monday to Friday, anytime from 8.30am to 6.00pm.
Students need only to attend classes they have registered for. Attendance plays an important part for students who want to pass the GCE ‘O’ level examination.
The school reserves the right to change lesson times and venue without prior notice. However, we will do our best to avoid this unless it becomes necessary.
Exam Registration. Students who are taking the GCE ‘N’ level examination are to register with the Examinations branch, Singapore Examinations and Assessment Board (SEAB) via its website.
National Service deferment can be arranged for Singaporean males below 18 years old (subject to MINDEF’S approval). The EZ Link Cards (bus passes) can be arranged for Singaporean students below 21.
