If you sat for your national examination under adverse circumstances or miss your national examination paper(s) with valid reasons (including, medical leave or compassionate reasons), you can apply for special consideration (SC).

SC is a well-established procedure which awards candidates with projected grades through a fair and rigorous evidence-based methodology. Please note that all SC applications are assessed on each case's merit to ensure that the grades awarded are as accurate and fair as possible.

To apply for SC, candidates must:
* Have the relevant information and supporting documents to support your application
* Have missed less than 50% of the component weightage of the affected subject.

Please refer to the following on how to submit your SC application.

School candidates
Please approach your school teacher immediately to apply for SC through your school. This includes SC application for examination papers conducted outside your school, such as foreign language subject papers.

Private candidates
If you are a private individual who registered for your examination(s) via SEAB’s Candidates Portal, you may apply for SC through the portal. You may login to Candidates Portal using your Singpass or the username and password used when you registered for your national examinations. Please refer to this guide for the steps to complete your SC application.

If you registered for your examination(s) through a private centre, please approach your centre coordinators for assistance.

Late submissions or applications with incomplete information or supporting documents will not be processed.
