SINGAPORE: The results of the 2023 Singapore-Cambridge N-Level examinations will be released on Dec 18, the Ministry of Education (MOE) and the Singapore Examinations and Assessment Board (SEAB) said in a joint media release on Monday (Dec 11).
Candidates will receive their results from their secondary schools from 2pm. Details on collection arrangements will be shared by their respective schools.
“School candidates who are unwell should seek medical attention and not return to school to collect their results,” said MOE and SEAB, adding that those who are unable to collect their results in person can appoint a proxy to collect a physical copy of their results from the school.
Proxies must produce the relevant documents for the school’s verification when collecting the results. Candidates can contact their schools for assistance with the appointment of a proxy.
