Private candidates can view their Singapore-Cambridge GCE examination results in SEAB’s Candidates Portal on the official release day. SEAB directs Singpass holders to sign in with Singpass. If you do not hold Singpass, use the account you created during examination registration and make sure it is activated before release day.
Confirm the published release instructions for your level and year. Check the online result when it becomes available, then track any hardcopy certificate separately. If you need to use the result for a course application or want to request a review, check those deadlines without waiting for the post.
- Confirm the official release date and time for your examination.
- Test your sign-in route before the release.
- Verify your name, level, subjects and grades on the official record.
- Track any course application or results-review deadline separately.
- Check whether a hardcopy certificate is awarded and where it will be sent.
Prepare the correct sign-in
If you use Singpass, confirm you can complete the sign-in and its authentication steps. If you do not use Singpass, identify the account created during registration and verify it is activated. Use the portal’s current help instructions if you cannot access it. Deal with the sign-in problem before the result is due if possible.
Keep the examination level and year handy, particularly if you sat more than one examination. Use SEAB’s official release instructions for the record you are expecting. Avoid opening a second account simply because you cannot remember which one you used.

Read the result before starting another application
Confirm the examination and subject information on the official record. If an admissions institution asks for a result, check how it wants you to provide it. The answer may depend on the application route and whether the institution needs a particular document. Save any record you are permitted to download and follow the institution’s submission instructions.
If you believe a grade needs review, open SEAB’s separate results-review instructions for private candidates. Make a second calendar entry for any course application deadline. A review and an admissions application are handled through separate processes.

Check the hardcopy certificate separately
SEAB’s private-candidate guidance says the hardcopy certificate is sent to the registered address after the official release of year-end GCE results. Its certificate page sets out the grades required for the award at each GCE level. Check those conditions and the delivery instructions for your own examination.
If you have moved, verify the mailing record and follow the current address instructions. If a document remains missing, contact SEAB through its official channel with the examination details. If you need results from an earlier examination year, use SEAB’s separate past-results retrieval instructions.

Worked example
A private candidate without Singpass checks that their registration account is active before release day. On the day, they sign in and compare the examination and subject details with their application checklist. They note an approaching course deadline and ask the institution what result evidence it needs.
The candidate also checks whether a hardcopy certificate will be issued and verifies the address on file. They use the online record for the immediate application task and keep the delivery question separate.

Frequently asked questions
Can I view results online without Singpass?
SEAB says non-Singpass holders can use the account created during examination registration. Activate it before results release.
Do I need to wait for the hardcopy before starting an application?
Check the receiving institution’s instructions and deadline. Ask what official evidence it accepts while the hardcopy is pending.
What if I need results from an old examination year?
Use SEAB’s past-results retrieval guidance. The process for old results is separate from checking a newly released result.
