Singapore A-Level Results Release: What You Need to Know

Every year, with bated breath and growing anticipation, thousands of students across Singapore count down to the release of their GCE A-Level results. 

For many, this moment is the culmination of years of dedication, late-night study sessions, and relentless perseverance —a single sheet of paper holding the weight of their aspirations, university dreams, and career ambitions. It is a moment of reckoning, where hard work meets reality, and futures begin to take shape.

When Are the A-Level Results Released?

Every year, the A-Level results are typically released between the period of February 21 - 25. Last year’s results were announced on February 23 2024, setting expectations for a similar timeframe in 2025.

On the big day, students will need to report to their junior colleges or Millennia Institute at the designated time to collect their results in person. They should bring their identification card for verification. 

Those unable to collect their results in person can also access their results online via the Singapore Examinations and Assessment Board (SEAB) website or appoint a proxy to collect them on their behalf.
