• A diagnosis of a Physical Disability/ Learning Disability

  Diagnosis must be done by qualified professionals registered with the relevant professional bodies, for example, with the Singapore Register of Psychologists, Allied Health Professions Council, Singapore Medical Council etc.

• Previous reports remain valid* if it is for the same condition (e.g., reports used for PSLE can be used for GCE-Level examinations)

• Additional information can be provided through medical letters, assessment or therapy reports

• Documents can be submitted together or separately

*For 2025 AA applications for learning disabilities, medical documents must be dated within three years of your national examination to ensure a current assessment of your condition.

• Medical professional's observations of your condition

• Description of how your condition affects you during examinations

• Clear justifications for each AA request, linked to your specific needs
