Eligibility Criteria

If the applicant is seeking admission to a primary school, he/she must:

• Take the relevant paper-based or computer-based Cambridge English Qualifications (CEQ) test run by Cambridge Assessment English (CAE).
  
  The test must be taken within 12 months before the month of submission of the S-AEIS registration. For example, if the submission of the S-AEIS registration is in January 2023, the applicant must take the CEQ test from January 2022.
  
  

• Meet or exceed the required Cambridge English Scale (CES) score (listed below) in the CEQ test before the applicant applies to take the S-AEIS-Primary Mathematics test appropriate for their age. 
  
  Unsuccessful AEIS applicants seeking admission to Primary 5 the previous year may only reapply to take S-AEIS at Primary 4. They may submit their CES scores from their B1 Preliminary for Schools test taken within 12 months before the submission date of their S-AEIS Primary online application.
