The SEC is first sat in 2027 and replaces the O-Level and N-Level. Subjects are taken at G1, G2 or G3. Students in Sec 4 in 2026 still sit the O-Levels.
Carefully selected, Singapore-based tutors who are ID-verified and have signed a declaration. They know the MOE syllabus and the national exam formats, and guide students through school tests, prelims and final exams.

Parent's handbook
Get matched with a tutorSEC and O-Level: a parent's guide
How the national exams are graded, the dates in upper secondary and what to weigh when choosing subjects.
How grades and L1R5 work
O-Level subjects are set by SEAB with Cambridge and graded A1 to F9. For JC entry, results combine into an L1R5 aggregate: English plus five relevant subjects, each scored from 1 for A1 to 9 for F9. Lower is better. Polytechnic courses use ELR2B2, built the same way from fewer subjects.
Students in Sec 4 in 2026 are the last to sit the O-Level. The SEC, first sat in 2027, has its own grading at G1, G2 and G3, so families in that cohort should check MOE’s latest guidance on how results count for admission.
- A1 to A2
- Distinction
- B3 to C6
- Credit, the usual bar for a subject to count
- D7 to E8
- Pass
- F9
- Fail
Key dates in the exam year
Upper secondary follows the MOE calendar, January to November. In the exam year SEAB publishes the timetable, and the national exam is spread over several months rather than one week at the end. Schools add their own prelims before the written papers.
- Mother Tongue papers
- Mid-year, around June
- Polytechnic Early Admissions Exercise
- Applications usually around June
- Written papers
- October into November
- Results
- Usually January, followed by the Joint Admissions Exercise
Choosing subjects for Sec 3
Sec 3 combinations are allocated on Sec 2 results and the places each school offers, so the Sec 2 end-of-year exam matters. The big decisions are Additional Mathematics, pure or combined sciences, and which humanities elective sits alongside Social Studies.
What to weigh: pure sciences and Additional Mathematics keep the most JC and polytechnic options open, but take more time each week. Check that the combination gives five relevant subjects for L1R5 with room to spare, so one weak paper does not sink the aggregate.
- Pure sciences
- More depth, the usual route to H2 sciences
- Combined Science
- Two sciences in one subject, with less content
- Combined Humanities
- Social Studies plus one elective
When to start, and the final months
Sec 3 is the best time to start. Additional Mathematics and pure sciences arrive together, and the gap between a steady student and a struggling one opens within the first term. Starting in Sec 4 still works, but there are fewer weeks before prelims to rebuild.
From the June holidays of the exam year, a good weekly rhythm is one timed paper per subject in rotation, marked against the mark scheme, plus a redo list of every lost mark. After prelims, use the weeks before the written papers to fix the two or three topics that cost the most marks.
How Tutero works
Your child keeps the same tutor every week, and lessons start from their own school work. In Sec 3 that means new content and good habits. In the exam year it shifts to timed papers, prelim review and exam technique.

Curriculum guide

What SEC and O-Level students work on at each stage, and how a tutor helps.
Sec 3
Sec 3 brings new subject combinations, often Additional Mathematics and pure or combined sciences. Students in Sec 3 in 2026 will sit the new SEC in 2027.
Sec 3
- New subject combinations
- G1, G2 and G3 levels
- Practical work
- Study routines
Worked example
Solve x2 − 5x + 6 = 0.
Answerx = 2 or x = 3
How a tutor helps
Gets new subjects under control in the first term, before gaps build on each other.
Based on the SEAB Singapore-Cambridge Secondary Education Certificate (SEC).
Mathematics
Mathematics covers algebra, geometry, trigonometry, mensuration, statistics and probability, across two papers in the national exam.
Mathematics
- Algebra and graphs
- Trigonometry
- Mensuration
- Statistics and probability
Worked example
A 5 m ladder leans against a wall at 70° to the ground. How high up the wall does it reach?
Answer4.70 m (3 s.f.)
How a tutor helps
Works through past papers so method marks become routine.
Based on the SEAB Mathematics syllabus (O-Level and SEC).
Additional Mathematics
Additional Mathematics adds calculus, logarithms and trigonometric identities. It is the usual base for H2 Mathematics in JC.
Additional Mathematics
- Differentiation
- Integration
- Logarithms
- Trigonometric identities
Worked example
Differentiate y = 3x4 − 2x2 + 7.
Answerdy/dx = 12x3 − 4x
How a tutor helps
Builds algebra fluency first, because most lost marks in calculus come from algebra slips.
Based on the SEAB Additional Mathematics syllabus (O-Level and SEC).
Sciences
Students take pure sciences or Combined Science. Papers mix multiple choice, structured questions and practical skills.
Sciences
- Moles and equations
- Electricity
- Cells and genetics
- Practical skills
Worked example
How many moles are in 11 g of carbon dioxide (Mr = 44)?
Answer0.25 mol
How a tutor helps
Drills the calculations and the exact wording mark schemes reward.
Based on the SEAB Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Science syllabuses.
English and Humanities
English tests situational and continuous writing, comprehension, listening and oral. Humanities test source-based questions and structured essays.
English and Humanities
- Situational writing
- Continuous writing
- Comprehension
- Source-based questions
Sample argumentative opener
Social media did not invent loneliness or rumours, but it spreads both faster than anything before it. The question is whether its benefits keep pace.
How a tutor helps
Plans and marks timed essays with your child, so structure holds up under exam pressure.
Based on the SEAB English Language syllabus (O-Level and SEC).
