Overview

Singapore-Cambridge GCE O-Level

The Singapore-Cambridge General Certificate of Education Ordinary Level is a subject-based qualification jointly examined by the Ministry of Education (MOE), the Singapore Examinations and Assessment Board (SEAB) and the Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE).
