SEAB’s 2027 A-Level list for private candidates identifies Paper 2 as electronic for H2 Chinese Language and Literature (9575), H2 Malay Language and Literature (9576) and H2 Tamil Language and Literature (9577). Check the subject code and paper number against your actual entry.
Use the official tutorial to practise the interface and the subject syllabus to prepare the assessed work. These are separate checks. A student may understand the literature task and still need practice entering and reviewing answers on screen.
- Match the full subject title and code.
- Check the electronic paper number in the official list.
- Practise with the applicable e-written tutorial.
- Use the candidate notice for reporting and venue details.
Find the right tutorial
Use the tutorial identified for H2 Mother Tongue Language and Literature in the private-candidate syllabus listing. Check that you are practising the e-written format. A resource for e-Oral helps with a different assessment task.
For example, a private candidate taking H2 Malay Language and Literature should match code 9576 and Paper 2 before planning an electronic practice session. Read the subject syllabus for the actual paper requirements.

Practise writing and using the interface separately
Start with a short answer and practise following the screen instructions. Then write a longer response under the format stated for your subject. Check how you use planning time and how you review the completed response.
Confirm the equipment and reporting instructions for your centre. If the interface is unclear or there is a problem on the day, raise it with the examination staff and follow their directions.
