Q: What does O-Level / SEC G3 Mathematics Syllabus 2026 - 2027 (Singapore) cover?
A: For 2026, it covers SEAB O-Level Mathematics 4052 and Additional Mathematics 4049. For 2027, SEAB lists the SEC G3 successors as Mathematics K310 and Additional Mathematics K341, with 4052 and 4049 kept as reference codes on the syllabus listing.
TL;DR
In 2026, two written papers test Mathematics (4052) and two written papers test Additional Mathematics (4049).
In 2027, SEAB's SEC G3 listing uses Mathematics K310 and Additional Mathematics K341 for the same reference families.
Mathematics is organised into Number and Algebra, Geometry and Measurement, and Statistics and Probability. Additional Mathematics is organised into Algebra, Geometry and Trigonometry, and Calculus. Use the official PDFs to check the exact subject code and paper structure for your exam year.

Status: SEAB 2026 O-Level 4052/4049 PDFs, 2027 SEC G3 K310/K341 PDFs, and calculator list checked 2026-06-05.

Which Maths Code Should You Check?

  • 2026 school candidates: Use the GCE O-Level PDFs. Mathematics is 4052 and Additional Mathematics is 4049.
  • 2027 school candidates: Use the SEC G3 PDFs. Mathematics is K310 and Additional Mathematics is K341. The 4052 and 4049 labels appear as reference codes, not the live 2027 school-candidate codes.

If your child is sitting school-based WAs before the national exam, ask the school which syllabus document the class is using for that year. That avoids mixing a 2026 O-Level code with a 2027 SEC G3 document when buying practice books, checking calculator rules, or planning topic revision.
