Gan Siow Huang on erratum in A-Level Chemistry examination paper
In the 2022 GCE A-Level H2 Chemistry Paper Three, an erratum to one of the optional questions, affecting two sub-parts, was issued together with the examination paper to every student at the start of the examination. During the examination, a few schools sought additional clarifications on the erratum with the Singapore Examinations and Assessment Board (SEAB). SEAB then issued clarifications and advised schools to give makeup time according to the duration of the announcement of the clarification. This would ensure that students continue to have the full duration of two hours to complete the paper. Cambridge Assessment and SEAB will take this incident into consideration during marking and ensure that students are not disadvantaged. SEAB will also review the management of errata to avoid such incidents in future. Minister of State for Education Gan Siow Huang gave this assurance in reply to MPs' questions in Parliament on Monday (Jan 9).
