OpenExamPrep

The S-AEIS is the supplementary, February-intake admissions route for international students entering Singapore MOE schools, run once a year after the main September/October AEIS. For Primary 2 to 4 entry, MOE tests Mathematics only by a multiple-choice and short-answer paper taken without a calculator, while the English requirement is met by a valid Cambridge English Qualification (CEQ) result rather than an MOE English paper. The 2026 Mathematics test fee is SGD 340 (plus GST, about SGD 370), separate from the Cambridge test fee. There is no published pass mark; because the S-AEIS only fills remaining vacancies, far fewer places are offered than at the main AEIS. This 100-question bank provides original Cambridge-style English and Singapore-syllabus primary mathematics practice with full explanations.

Sample S-AEIS Primary Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your S-AEIS Primary exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Choose the word that best completes the sentence: 'The children ____ happily in the garden every afternoon.'
A.play
B.plays
C.playing
D.played
Explanation: The plural subject 'The children' takes the base form 'play' in the present simple. The time phrase 'every afternoon' signals a regular present habit.
2Which word is the correct plural of 'leaf'?
A.leafs
B.leaves
C.leafes
D.leavs
Explanation: Many nouns ending in '-f' change to '-ves' in the plural, so 'leaf' becomes 'leaves'. The same pattern gives 'knife' to 'knives' and 'wolf' to 'wolves'.
3Read: 'Mei put on her raincoat and opened her umbrella before stepping outside.' What was the weather most likely like?
A.Sunny and dry
B.Rainy
C.Snowy
D.Windy but clear
Explanation: A raincoat and umbrella are used to stay dry in the rain, so the weather was most likely rainy. This is an inference from the clues in the sentence.
4Choose the correct word: 'There ____ a cat sleeping on the sofa.'
A.are
B.were
C.is
D.be
Explanation: 'A cat' is singular and the action is happening now, so the singular present verb 'is' is correct.
5Which word means the OPPOSITE of 'ancient'?
A.old
B.modern
C.huge
D.quiet
Explanation: 'Ancient' means very old, so its opposite is 'modern', meaning new or of the present time.
6Choose the correct preposition: 'The book is ____ the table, next to the lamp.'
A.on
B.in
C.at
D.of
Explanation: We use 'on' for a surface, so a book resting on top of a table is 'on the table'.
7Read: 'Although Ravi was tired, he finished all his homework before bed.' What does the word 'Although' show?
A.A reason
B.A contrast
C.A place
D.A time order
Explanation: 'Although' introduces a contrast: being tired would usually stop someone, yet Ravi still finished. It links two ideas that seem to oppose each other.
8Choose the correct word: 'My sister is taller than ____.'
A.I
B.me
C.my
D.mine
Explanation: After 'than' in a comparison like this, the object pronoun 'me' is normally used in everyday English, so 'taller than me' is correct.
9Read the passage: 'The little robot beeped twice, blinked its red eyes, and rolled toward the door. It seemed to know exactly where to go.' How did the robot most likely seem?
A.Lost and confused
B.Sure of itself
C.Broken
D.Asleep
Explanation: The phrase 'seemed to know exactly where to go' tells us the robot looked sure of itself, moving with purpose toward the door.
10Choose the correct article: 'We saw ____ elephant at the zoo yesterday.'
A.a
B.an
C.the
D.some
Explanation: We use 'an' before a word that begins with a vowel sound. 'Elephant' starts with the vowel sound /e/, so 'an elephant' is correct.

About the S-AEIS Primary Exam

The Supplementary Admissions Exercise for International Students (S-AEIS) is the second, smaller annual entry route for international students seeking places in Singapore Ministry of Education (MOE) schools. It is held once a year for the February intake, after the main AEIS in the preceding September or October, and fills places not taken up at the main exercise, so far fewer offers are available. For Primary entry (Primary 2 to Primary 4), MOE no longer runs its own English paper: applicants must instead submit a valid Cambridge English Qualification (CEQ) result that meets the MOE minimum, and then sit the MOE Mathematics test, which has a multiple-choice Part 1 and a short-answer Part 2 taken without a calculator. Candidates are tested on the Singapore primary mathematics syllabus for the level immediately below their intended entry level, and places are offered by merit subject to vacancies. This 100-question bank gives Cambridge-style English practice and MOE-style primary mathematics practice in one place.

Assessment

MOE tests Mathematics only at Primary level, with a multiple-choice Part 1 and a short-answer Part 2; the English requirement is met by a valid Cambridge English Qualification (CEQ) result instead of an MOE English paper.

Time Limit

S-AEIS Primary Mathematics runs about 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 25 minutes (a timed multiple-choice part plus a short-answer part); the CEQ English test timing is set by the Cambridge test centre.

Passing Score

No published numeric cut-off. The S-AEIS is supplementary and offers remaining vacancies by merit, so far fewer places are available than at the main AEIS.

Exam Fee

The S-AEIS Primary Mathematics test fee is SGD 340 (plus GST at the prevailing rate, around SGD 370 with 9% GST) per applicant; a separate CEQ test fee is paid to a Cambridge test centre for the required English result.

S-AEIS Primary Study Tips from Top Performers

1Obtain your Cambridge English Qualification (CEQ) result early, because for Primary entry you must already meet the MOE English requirement before you can apply for the S-AEIS.
2Learn the Singapore primary mathematics syllabus for the level immediately below your target entry level, since that is the level the Mathematics test is pitched at.
3Practise mental and written arithmetic without a calculator, and always show your working so you can earn method marks in the short-answer part.
4For the English requirement, build vocabulary and grammar accuracy with Cambridge Young Learners / A2 Key style multiple-choice questions and short reading passages.
5Use the model method (bar models) for multi-step word problems, a common Singapore approach that makes fraction, money and comparison problems easier to set out.
6Because the S-AEIS only fills remaining vacancies, aim well above a bare pass: stronger scores improve your chances when fewer places are offered.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the S-AEIS different from the main AEIS?

The AEIS is the main entry exercise, usually held in September or October. The S-AEIS is supplementary, held once a year for the February intake, and fills only the places not taken up at the main AEIS, so far fewer offers are available.

Can I use a calculator in the S-AEIS Primary Mathematics test?

No. Calculators are not allowed in the primary Mathematics test, and students are expected to show their working for the short-answer questions.

How much does the S-AEIS cost in 2026?

The S-AEIS Primary Mathematics test fee is SGD 340 (plus GST at the prevailing rate, about SGD 370 with 9% GST) per applicant. A separate Cambridge English Qualification (CEQ) test fee is paid to a Cambridge test centre for the required English result.

Are these official MOE, SEAB or Cambridge questions?

No. These are original OpenExamPrep practice questions modelled on the skills tested. MOE, SEAB and Cambridge provide their own official information and sample materials separately.
