The Admission Exercise for International Students (AEIS) is used by the Ministry of Education (MOE) in Singapore to assess the academic levels of prospective students who intend to join the mainstream education system in Singapore. The AEIS was first implemented in 2001, and the S-AEIS in 2007.

The AEIS is conducted once a year in September or October. The S-AEIS is a Supplementary Admission Exercise for International Students who seek admission to Singapore Public Schools in the same year. The S-AEIS is conducted in February every year.

The AEIS consists of tests in English and Math. The test is challenging for students from a non-English speaking background, but is necessary to ensure that incoming international students are of a similar standard to Singapore students.

The best way to prepare for the AEIS is to take a preparation course offered by a reputable institute. These courses are typically offered 3 to 6 months before the AEIS test dates. The AEIS is typically held in September or October for admission to the same academic year, and the S-AEIS is held in February for admission to the same academic year.

There is a small change to the AEIS tests effective 2023. For international students applying to Primary Schools,

• From the 2022 AEIS, there is no longer the English test for international students seeking admission into primary schools. International students must take the relevant Cambridge English Qualifications (CEQ) test run by Cambridge Assessment English (CAE), and meet or exceed the required scores before they register for the AEIS-Primary Mathematics test.

• There is no change in format for the AEIS-Secondary tests. International students will continue to take the AEIS English & Math tests
