Important information for overseas applicants

MOE will not issue permits for entry into Singapore for applicants to sit for the AEIS / S-AEIS tests. You should submit an application only if the applicant is able to enter Singapore. You may refer to the Singapore Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) and the Ministry of Health (MOH) websites for the latest travel and health measures.

​

The entry proof issued after your application is NOT an entry approval to Singapore.

​

When will my child/ward receive the test timetable and other documents?

For A2 Key for Schools and B1 Preliminary for Schools paper-based tests, successful applicants will receive 02 confirmation emails approximately 2-3 weeks before their test.

The first comprises the 'Confirmation of Entry and Timetable' and 'Summary Regulations for Candidates' attachments. The second comprises the 'Instructions to Candidates' and 'Directional Map to Test Venue' attachments. Remember to check your email Inbox/Junk/Spam folders.

​

My child/ward has completed the CEQ test. When and where can I view the results?

Candidates should register online for the candidates' results portal at candidates.cambridgeenglish.org using their ID Number and Secret Number indicated on their Confirmation of Entry letter so that they will be notified via email as soon as their results are released.

​

I have registered for the online candidates' results portal very early. Does that mean that my results will be released earlier?

No. Registering for the candidates' results portal does NOT mean that your results will be released quicker. The results release period is fixed and cannot be expedited. However, candidates should still register for the online results portal so that they can check their results and  be notified via email as soon as their results are released.
