Assessment

As calculators are allowed in one part of the examination, the examination format has been restructured into two papers: –

Paper 1 is the non-calculator component to ensure thatimportant computational skills continue to receive emphasis

Paper 2 is the component which allows the use of calculators.

The two papers will be taken on the same day with a break between the papers.

TYPES OF SCIENTIFIC CALCULATORS

• Only calculators that are approved by the SingaporeExaminations & Assessment Board (SEAB) will be allowed in the examination.

• The list of approved calculators is available on SEAB’s website: http://www.seab.gov.sg

• To maintain continuity from primary to secondary education, these calculators can also be used at the secondary level.
