Did you know? AEIS and S-AEIS have separate official pages. Start with MOE’s AEIS guide or MOE’s S-AEIS guide, then check the exercise’s eligibility and test details for the child’s age and intended entry level.
For test preparation, open AEIS test details or S-AEIS test details. Use those instructions to establish the English and Mathematics requirements that apply. Primary applicants should also read the relevant Cambridge English Qualifications result requirement in the official application instructions.
Your immediate next step is to record the exercise year, eligibility, applicable test level, English evidence and application documents before choosing preparation materials. SEAB provides separate AEIS application procedures and S-AEIS application procedures. Use the current cycle’s dates and requirements rather than copying an older applicant’s checklist.

| Your question | Start here | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Which exercise and entry level? | MOE AEIS / MOE S-AEIS | Eligibility, age criteria, entry levels and intended admission |
| What should the child prepare? | AEIS test details / S-AEIS test details | Applicable subjects, test information and preparation scope |

| What happens after applying? | SEAB S-AEIS procedures | Application status, document checks, entry proof and communications |
Match the child to the exercise first
Start with the official eligibility page, not a workbook labelled with a Singapore school year. Age, intended entry and exercise conditions are part of deciding which instructions apply.
Keep AEIS and S-AEIS in separate notes if you are considering both. Check each exercise’s offered levels and current application window independently. A requirement copied from one exercise may not answer the other.
Check English evidence before planning the application
SEAB’s application procedures require primary applicants to upload the relevant Cambridge English Qualifications statement of results. They specify conditions for the stated cycle. Read those conditions before scheduling a test or assuming that an existing result is usable.
Check the required qualification, score and timing through MOE’s current eligibility instructions. If a result’s suitability is unclear, seek clarification before paying an application fee or committing to a preparation schedule.
Use the official test details to choose learning material
Record the test information from the correct exercise and level page. Then compare the child’s existing learning with the stated preparation scope. That reveals whether the next task is a content gap, unfamiliar language or practice with the format.
Our primary syllabus source guide can help you locate Singapore curriculum information. Curriculum documents provide learning context; the admissions test details remain the source for the test’s particular requirements.
Follow the application status through to the test
SEAB directs applicants to check the Candidates Portal and their registered email for updates. A submitted application needs to pass the relevant checks; retain the receipt and follow requests for missing information.
Before test day, confirm the approved registration, entry proof and current candidate instructions. Keep dates, documents and next actions together. This is more useful than treating submission alone as the end of the process.
