I know of a good number of Singaporeans who have done UK A levels and have successfully enrolled in the local Singaporean universities.

I am not as clear about the case for non-Singaporeans.

Whether u take UK A-level from

( Sinapore or Kuala Lumpur) exam centre, is the same identical set of exam papers

To clarify, what I am less clear about the UK A Levels, is for Singaporean students who take UK A Levels as a private candidate in Singapore, applying to local universities. How are these applications considered? I do not personally know of anyone who has done that.

Thanks..got what you mean. That is for someone who has a lower chance to begin with.. that to me wouldn't make much difference I guess..the UK A should be able be used for overseas studies as backup yeah?

Mp, I just guess if want to apply to local U then the poly course must be a related course right?

it really depends on pre-requisite of course . eg Engr dip may be able to apply comp sci courses in uni
Biz diploma can try accountancy degree , start fr Yr 1

UK A cant apply into sg universities.

should be v different, SG GCE A level is a killer :evil:
ds fren took UKA in msia, one yr later went to UK degree prog, just need money to send there, msian advantage ,
no need NS, choice not to take GCE A too

Our local uni (NUS + NTU) do accept students with UK-A level.

Only that we not sure what's the proportion of intake seats, by this group of applicants

Mp, UK A is 1 year only?

UK A levels is 1.5 to 2 years if studying in the UK. But for students repeating A levels (i.e. fail SG A levels then want to do UK A levels), usually can get by with one year.

From SEAB-A switching over, to attempt UK-A, should be much easier lah !

Whereas

From SEAB-A switching over to IB, must find out
if there's any cut off age, and
how much difference in syllabus, per core subject.

Will think more when confronted with the situation. To me, the child's input is very important. If no buy in or interest, or not ready or not willing, no point. I am open to kids taking some time out, i.e. gap year etc, if they need it for their mental health or for whatever reasons. I don't wish for it to happen, but if it does, will deal with it then.
