Updates for Private Candidates

Entry Proofs for Mid-Year and Year-End Examinations

The dates of release of the GCE-Level entry proofs (EPs) are found in the important dates for candidates.

You will be posted to different examination centres for the different Mode of Assessment (MOA) examinations i.e. Oral, Science Practical, Written examinations. As such, it is important to check your Entry Proof before the examinations.

You may refer to the Candidates Portal's guide on examination registration for the steps to retrieve your EPs from the system.

You are required to bring a hardcopy EP for your examinations, as it will be used for attendance verification.
