Eligibility
Returning Singaporean children who wish to start school at the beginning of the school year together with other local children in early January 2012 are encouraged to register for the 2011 School Placement Exercise for Returning Singaporeans - Secondary schools (SPERS-Sec). The SPERS-Sec tests will be conducted on 13 October 2011 and school posting results will be released in early to mid-December 2011.
Returning Singaporean children who are unable to make it for the 13 Oct 2011 SPERS-Sec tests can still take part in a Supplementary Placement Exercise in December 2011.
The Supplementary Placement Exercise is similar in structure to SPERS-Sec and involves 3 phases:

Returning Singaporean children who have registered or sat for the 2011 SPERS-Sec tests on 13 Oct 2011 are not eligible to take part in the Supplementary Placement Exercise.
