WHAT IS EAE? ◆ Allows polytechnics to select students based on aptitudes and interests before O-Level results are released ◆ Focus on course-specific aptitudes and interests ◆ Non-course-specific achievements, e.g. sports, leadership, also considered ◆ Various modes of assessment, e.g. interviews, aptitude tests, portfolios, depending on polytechnic and course ◆ Still required to meet polytechnic admissions criteria but do not have to compete with other students for entry strictly on basis of relative academic performance
WHO? ◆ Singapore Citizen / Permanent Resident students registered for O-Levels in year of EAE ◆International Students in Government, Government-aided, or Independent Schools, and registered to sit for O-Levels in year of EAE ◆Up to 15% of total polytechnic intake

Express:
◆ Math is compulsory for aggregate computation for entry into Polytechnics & students must achieve minimum subject grade of C6 for entry.
◆ Express pupils may opt to do Additional Mathematics if they obtained a grade of C5 or better in Mathematics.
Mathematics as a prerequisite, but having the background does help students to cope with the courses better.
L1 English / Higher Mother Tongue R1 Humanities R2 Mathematics / Science R3 Humanities / Mathematics / Science R4 Any other subject excluding CCA R5 Any other subject excluding CCA
Pure Sciences (Chemistry, Physics or Biology) and Combined Science – Phy/Chem or Chem/Bio are offered. Express pupils who have obtained B3 or better may opt to do 2 Pure Science subjects. All Science students will do an end-of-course Science Practical Exam in 2022.

Objectives : As a reality check for students – helps them understand their wants and their achievements, and how they can then bridge the gap. As a dipstick for the school to gauge student interest and their choices so that we can anticipate and work on our resource management.
Sec 2 students will indicate their subject choices in Term 3 Week 5.
Results of the Streaming Exercise will be released the mid-July break through school ePortal. This exercise will not have any bearing on the actual exercise in October.
*Failure to Meet Deadlines The Streaming Committee will decide for you the subjects you will be given after allocating to the rest of the cohort. No appeals for cases of this nature.
Streaming Committee will try to allocate the students their requests as much as possible based on order of Choice & Merit but this is subjected to our resource availability.
◆ Appeals All appeals will be looked into only after the exercise has been completed based on standing policies; To be made using official appeal forms from GO and submitted by deadline Addressed on a case-by-case basis Appeal results will be confirmed and made known by end of December
Once the subject allocation is finalised, the school will not be able to accede to further appeal request.
