About SPE

The Supplementary Placement Exercise (SPE) is a centralised placement exercise conducted for Returning Singaporeans (RS) who wish to join a secondary school at Secondary 1, 2 or 3 at the beginning of the next academic year. Applicants can apply for the SPE if they are unable to make it back to Singapore in time for the School Placement Exercise for Returning Singaporeans-Secondary that typically takes place in September.

It is not compulsory and is intended for those who prefer to seek admission to a secondary school based on merit.

MOE has commissioned SEAB to conduct the registration and test administration of this exercise.
