About the N(A)-Level Mathematics Exam
The N(A)-Level Mathematics examination (Syllabus 4045) is the Singapore-Cambridge GCE Normal (Academic) Level mathematics paper taken by Secondary 4 Normal (Academic) students. Content is organised into three strands: Number and Algebra, Geometry and Measurement, and Statistics and Probability. The exam has two compulsory papers, each 2 hours: Paper 1 (about 23 short-answer questions, 70 marks) and Paper 2 (90 marks, with Section A including a real-world problem and Section B). An approved calculator may be used in both papers, and results are graded 1 to 5. The syllabus is less advanced than O-Level Elementary Mathematics, and strong N(A) candidates may be offered the higher O-Level Maths syllabus.
