Is the N-Level Still Held?

  • No. 2026 was the last year of the GCE N(A)-Level and N(T)-Level. From 2027, they are combined with the O-Level into the Singapore-Cambridge Secondary Education Certificate (SEC).
  • The last N-Level was sat by the final Normal (Academic) and Normal (Technical) cohort, who entered Sec 1 in 2023. Their results are tentatively due between 17 and 21 December 2026.
  • Eligible N(A) students from that cohort can take Sec 5 in 2027. At the end of the year they sit the SEC, not the O-Level.
  • In the SEC, G2 subjects are graded 1 to 6, as at N(A)-Level, and G1 subjects A to E, as at N(T)-Level.
  • Since the 2024 Sec 1 cohort there are no N(A) or N(T) streams. Students in Posting Groups 1 and 2 start with mostly G1 or G2 subjects, and can take some at a higher level.

Common Challenges N-Level Students Face

Choosing What Comes After Sec 4

Sec 5, the Polytechnic Foundation Programme, the Direct-Entry-Scheme to Polytechnic Programme and ITE each have their own entry criteria.

The ELMAB3 Score

English, Maths and the best three other subjects add up to the ELMAB3 score that Sec 5, the PFP and the DPP look at.

Sitting the SEC in Sec 5

Sec 5 students move from N-Level papers to the SEC within a single school year.

Longer Writing in G2 English

G2 English sets situational writing of 180 to 250 words and continuous writing of 250 to 400 words.

A Choice of Question in G2 Maths

G2 Mathematics Paper 2 ends with two questions, one on geometry and one on statistics, of which students answer one.

New Computing Courses

From 2027, Computing is offered at G1 and G2 for the first time, and N(T) Computer Applications is no longer a separate subject.

When Should My Child Start N-Level Tuition?

If your child is going on to Sec 5, starting in December or January gives the most time before the SEC written papers begin in September.

For younger students taking G2 or G1 subjects, Sec 3 is a common starting point, when upper secondary subjects begin. Lessons in Sec 1 and Sec 2 can strengthen a subject your child hopes to take at a higher level.

One-to-One or Small-Group N-Level Lessons

Choose one-to-one lessons, a small group of up to 4 students taking the same subject at the same level, or any class size. Groups keep to one level, so G1 and G2 students learn in separate groups.

My Child Has Just Sat the N-Level. What Are the Options?

Depending on their results, N(A) students can go on to Sec 5, the Polytechnic Foundation Programme, the Direct-Entry-Scheme to Polytechnic Programme or ITE's Higher Nitec courses. N(T) students can continue at ITE.
