Singapore Placement Tests

Singapore placement tests can be found on the singaporemath.com website. These tests cover the material for the level indicated on the tests. Therefore, each test is really an exit test for the level, and can be used to see what types of problems are given in the curriculum. An overall score of 80% and above on a test is a good indicator that the student has the skills to go on to the next level. These tests should take about 30-45 minutes for the primary level. For the secondary level, the test can take several hours.
