Three students in school uniforms work through open books at a classroom table, with textbooks and stationery nearby and study notes on the whiteboard behind them.

Where Can I Find SEAB Access Arrangements Information? | Applications, Evidence and Exam Support

Did you know? SEAB’s Access Arrangements page explains examination support, application routes and evidence requirements in one place. Start there for a PSLE, secondary or A-Level examination question, then check the instructions for the actual examination year.

School candidates apply through their school. Ask the designated SEN officer, access-arrangements coordinator or form teacher about the next step. Private candidates follow SEAB’s Candidates Portal instructions after examination registration. Use the route for your candidate status rather than submitting through a different process.

Your immediate next step is to identify the difficulty experienced under standard examination conditions and ask what supporting information is required. Read the current evidence and deadline instructions before arranging reports. A diagnosis does not automatically determine the arrangement approved for a particular paper.

Describe the examination barrier clearly

Note what happens during a timed paper: for example, difficulty accessing print or recording answers. Ask the school how classroom and assessment observations will be documented.

Describe the difficulty and support already used, rather than choosing an arrangement from another student’s experience. This gives the responsible team a concrete question to investigate.

Read the evidence requirements for the request

SEAB’s guidance distinguishes medical documentation and educational inputs. It also identifies requests for which a current profile of needs is required.

Check the exact requirement before booking an assessment solely for the application. Ask the school or SEAB whether existing records meet the relevant instructions and what additional information is needed.

Keep different examination systems separate

For SEC, use SEAB’s guidance and the applicable subject syllabus. For an international examination, consult the relevant awarding body and school instead of assuming SEAB’s procedure applies.

Record the exam board, subject code, year and candidate status beside the support enquiry. A classroom adjustment may need a separate approval process for a national examination.

Read the outcome and implementation details

When the outcome arrives, check the papers and arrangements covered. Ask the school or SEAB to clarify any condition that is unclear before examination day.

Keep the approved instructions with the examination record. Read SEAB’s explanation of certificate annotations where relevant, then prepare with the support that has actually been confirmed.

Take one question further

The same learning habit can travel across subjects, while each subject keeps its own methods. These routes help you notice a difficulty, understand one part of it, and return to something you can do.

A word is familiar, but using it is difficult.

Move from recognising a word to retrieving it in a new context. Understand vocabulary plateaus.

Try it without the guide: Choose one word you already know. Close the guide and use it in a new sentence. Explain why it fits; try another context tomorrow.

A piece of writing has ideas, but the reader loses the thread.

Make the order of events and the links between sentences clear. Explore composition writing.

Try it without the guide: Choose one short paragraph. Read the relevant explanation, close it, and revise the paragraph. Ask someone to tell you what happened and why.

The Mathematics seems familiar, but marks still disappear.

Find the first point where the working stops being reliable. Find Secondary 4 A-Math mark leakage.

Try it without the guide: For a Secondary 4 A-Math question you have attempted, locate the first uncertain line. Repair that step, then try a comparable question without the worked answer.

A Science fact is remembered, but the explanation is incomplete.

Connect the evidence to a scientific idea and the resulting change. Follow the Primary Science learning route.

Try it without the guide: Choose a familiar Primary Science example. Explain the evidence, the idea and the result without notes. Then change one condition and explain your prediction.

Two accounts of the world seem to disagree.

Check the question, source, date and evidence before combining claims. Explore the World Knowledge research library.

Try it without the guide: Take one claim. Find the source best placed to support it, note its date, and state what remains uncertain. Return to your original question.

There is plenty of help, but independence is hard to see.

Check what the learner can understand and do after support is removed. Understand how education works.

Try it without the guide: Choose one small task the child has practised. Agree on a calm, brief attempt without prompts. Use what happens to choose one next step, then stop.
