ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS
Should I take the AEIS Singapore or S-AEIS Singapore?
That depends on the next available exam and also the year in which you hope to admit your child in. Take note of the following case scenarios
Case scenario 1:
Your child is 9 years old in 2018 and the month is now January. You can either enrol your child for the S-AEIS so he can be admitted to mainstream Singapore school in mid-2018 for Primary 3 or if he is unprepared, he can apply to enter Primary 4 in 2019 and sit for the September-October AEIS examinations in 2018.
Case Scenario 2:
Your child is 14 years old in 2018 and the month is now August 2018. You can enrol your child for AEIS exams in September to October 2018 for entrance into mainstream school in 2019 at Secondary 3.
Who conducts AEIS Singapore tests?
