N-Level Exam Dates 2026: Official SEAB Timetable
Q: When are the 2026 Singapore-Cambridge GCE N-Level examinations?
A: The official timetable has oral papers from 13 to 17 July 2026, papers from 14 to 24 September 2026, and papers from 5 to 13 October 2026. A candidate's exact date, reporting time, venue, and subject papers come from the SEAB timetable and entry proof.
TL;DR
The July oral period has ended. The next timetable block begins on Monday, 14 September 2026. Listening comprehension is split by syllabus: English Language Syllabus A is on 15 September at 2pm, English Language Syllabus T is on 16 September at 2pm, and the listed Mother Tongue or Basic Mother Tongue listening papers run at 4pm on the relevant day. The final dated paper in the timetable is on Tuesday, 13 October 2026. Open SEAB's five-page timetable.
Last reviewed: 19 July 2026. The linked timetable says it was updated as at 13 February 2026. Recheck SEAB and your entry proof before every paper.
1 Current official dates
SEAB's Important Dates page currently records these N(A)- and N(T)-Level administrative dates:
- Year-end examination entry proof: issued on 25 June 2026. SEAB asks candidates to contact it if the entry proof was not received by 26 June.
- Private-candidate withdrawal deadline: 1 September 2026. SEAB's private-candidate page gives the precise portal deadline as 11pm.
- Tentative 2026 results-release window: Thursday, 17 December to Monday, 21 December 2026.
SEAB says the actual results date can be confirmed only after all processes are complete and will then be announced through the media. Do not treat the five-day window as five separate release dates.
SEAB's private-candidate page also says registration for the 2026 GCE-Level examinations has closed. School candidates register through their schools; this page does not replace school instructions.
The old version of this guide listed 3 to 12 March as a school-candidate registration window. That date range is not established by the current linked SEAB pages, so it has been removed rather than carried forward as a current official date.
2 Oral papers: 13 to 17 July
The timetable records oral papers across Monday, 13 July to Friday, 17 July 2026. The period included English Language Syllabus A, English Language Syllabus T, Chinese, Malay, Tamil, and Basic Mother Tongue oral papers, but not every syllabus ran on every day.
