What are Access Arrangements?


Updated by SEAB

Access Arrangements (AA) are granted by the Singapore Examinations and Assessment Board to candidates with special educational needs (SEN), including those with specific physical and learning disabilities to enable them to sit the national examinations without compromising assessment objectives. AA is extended to these candidates because the standardised testing conditions may result in them receiving an inadequate assessment of their abilities or them being unable to take the examinations altogether.

These arrangements may include the provision of extra time, a separate room, enlarged print for the candidate's examination papers, or an exemption from specific components of an examination.
