The 'O' Level examination results were released on Friday, with 81.6 percent of students getting 5 or more GCE 'O' level passes.
This was a slight increase from the 80.7 percent pass rate for 2005.
There were a total of 38,593 school candidates in the 2006 examinations, and 99.9 percent of them were awarded certificates.
Students can collect their results from their schools, while private candidates may access their results at www.seab.gov.sg.
In 2004, 82.7 percent of students scored 5 or more 'O' level passes.
The drop in 2005 was attributed to the fact that some 2,000 students in the cohort skipped the 'O' levels, as they were on the Integrated Programme which took them straight to the 'A' levels. - CNA/ch
