Junior high school students who study in Singapore are advised to attend O-level preparatory courses first.
Singapore's education system stipulates that students who have graduated from junior high schools can already take the O'level exam and enroll in the Singapore Institute of Technology. However, for domestic junior high school graduates, it is difficult to take the O'level exam directly in English because they have been receiving Chinese education. Therefore, Singapore () suggests taking the O'level preparatory course for 1-2 years first, and then taking the O'level exam after their grades meet the requirements.

The Cambridge O-Level Examination in Singapore is jointly sponsored by the Ministry of Education of Singapore and the Local Examinations Committee of Cambridge University in the United Kingdom. It is an examination that Singapore middle school students take after completing 4 years (special or accelerated courses) or 5 years (general academic courses) of secondary education, or students who attend O-level preparatory classes in private schools in Singapore after completing 1 ~ 2 years of preparatory classes. As the Singapore O-Level Examination is a government college entrance examination system jointly launched by the Singapore government and Cambridge University, it is the main way to enter public universities and polytechnics in Singapore. It is also recognized by the pre-university courses of famous Commonwealth countries such as Australia, Britain and New Zealand. It usually takes four years (five years in Canada) to get a bachelor's degree from a prestigious school.

Those who do well in the O'level exam have two choices:

1. He was admitted to the Singapore Government Institute of Technology and received a three-year tertiary education. At this stage, the government will subsidize 75% of the tuition fees for students.

2. I was admitted to a junior college in Singapore, had two years of pre-university education, and then took an A'level exam in Singapore to enter a public university.

The admission score of junior college in Singapore is higher than that of government polytechnic, and more than 80% of students who graduated from junior college will have the opportunity to enter government universities. Therefore, experts in Singapore remind students and friends to plan ahead if they miss the famous universities in Singapore.
