About the S-AEIS Secondary Exam
The Supplementary Admissions Exercise for International Students (S-AEIS) is the second, supplementary round of Singapore's centralised admission test for international students, run by the Singapore Examinations and Assessment Board for the Ministry of Education. It is held early in the calendar year (typically February or March) for students who missed or were unsuccessful in the main AEIS, with successful candidates entering school in the second half of the year. At Secondary level it admits students to Secondary 1 and Secondary 2 and tests two subjects: English and Mathematics. English combines a composition with a multiple-choice language paper covering grammar, vocabulary, cloze and comprehension; Mathematics combines a multiple-choice section with short-answer and open-ended questions and does not allow calculators. Content is pitched at the Singapore curriculum about one to two levels below the level sought.

Time Limit
English about 2 hours 10 minutes; Mathematics about 2 hours 15 minutes (a 30-minute multiple-choice section and a 1-hour-45-minute written section). Calculators are not allowed.
