There are two main examination boards in Singapore. The first is the Ministry of Education-administered Singapore-Cambridge GCE O-Level examination.

The second is the Ministry of Education-administered National University of Singapore (NUS)-Nanyang Technological University (NTU).

Singapore Polytechnic-Central Institute of Technology (CIT) Joint Examination Board’s A-Level examination. Both examinations have to conduct annually in May.

All secondary schools, including Special Assistance Plan schools, conduct the GCE O Level examination as part of their sixth form curriculum.

All students who have completed four years of secondary education are eligible to take the GCE O Level examination.
