SINGAPORE: The GCE 'A' Level examination results are out.

87.5 percent or 11,418 of 13,053 students who sat for the exams last year obtained at least three H2 passes and a pass in General Paper (GP) or Knowledge and Inquiry (KI).

90.1 percent got at least two H2 and two H1 passes, including GP or KI.

The A-level curriculum was revised in 2006, with the first cohort of candidates taking their exams in 2007.

Under the revised curriculum, school candidates are required to offer at least three Higher 2 (H2) and 1 Higher 1 (H1) content-based subjects, of which at least one must be a contrasting subject; General Paper (GP) or Knowledge and Inquiry (KI); Project Work (PW); and a Mother Tongue Language, except for those who had obtained D7 or better in the Higher Mother Tongue Language at O-level, who are exempted from taking this examination.

The revised A-level curriculum is not directly comparable with the previous A-level curriculum, given the extensive changes to the curriculum structure.

However, as a rough gauge of overall performance, the percentage of students who obtained passes in at least three H2 subjects and a pass in GP/KI in the 2007 GCE A-level exams was similar to the proportion who obtained passes in at least three A-level subjects and GP in 2006.

The 2007 figures did not include the results of candidates from Millennia Institute (MI). This is because the first cohort of MI students taking the GCE A-level exams under the revised curriculum will only do so later this year.
