Can anybody give a list of schools in Singapore that offers CIE -A level?? Please provide appropriate websites if possible.
I have heard that the papers for Science and mathematics subjects are different in singapore from the ones world wide, something called Integrated Programme Singapore-Cambridge GCE. Is this true ?
If it is true, how different is it? Is it possible to take only the papers that are same worldwide, instead of the singpore ones??
I have already taken physics, chemistry and maths subjects, outside singapore (AS level exam) which have for eg. chemistry subject code: 9701. this subject seems to have a different subj. code in singapore. Is it possible to take just the Cambridge GCE 'A' Level instead of the Integrated Programme in Singapore??
Please do provide extra information, as I'm not knowledgable about this!!

SEAB (Singapore Examinations and Assessment Board) is phasing out the 'A' level syllabus (the international CIE syllabus) in favour of the Higher (H2/H3/H1) syllabuses.
Strangely enough, according to the SEAB website below, from 2009 onwards (inclusive), private candidates are only allowed to take the new H2 syllabuses, but school candidates (the 'repeat students') are still allowed to take the old 'A' level syllabuses syllabus (the international CIE syllabus).

You may try to contact the schools on this list to see if you can register with them to take the old 'A' level syllabus (the international CIE syllabus) :

If you wish to consider taking the Singapore H2 syllabus exams (it should be regarded as equivalent to the old 'A' level syllabus, and it is still certified by Cambridge University), but would like to inquire further on this matter, contact SEAB.
