Access Arrangements (AA) are extended by the Singapore Examinations and Assessment Board (SEAB) to cater to candidates with Special Educational Needs and long-term or temporary medical conditions. These arrangements may include the provision of extra time, the provision of a separate room, the provision of an enlarged print for the candidate's examination papers, or an exemption from specific components of an examination.  

AA is extended to these candidates because the standardised testing conditions may result in them being given an inadequate assessment of their abilities or being unable to take the examinations altogether.

School candidates should approach their Allied Educators (Learning & Behavioural Support), AA coordinators and/or form teachers if they require assistance with an AA application for the PSLE or GCE-Level examinations.

Private candidates can submit their AA applications for the GCE-Level examinations via SEAB’s Candidates Portal after registering for the examinations. More information can be found in the Registration Information for Private Candidates.
