About 86.2 per cent of candidates who sat for the 2022 GCE O-Level results achieved five or more passes, the Singapore Examinations and Assessment Board (SEAB) announced on Thursday (Jan 12).  

This is an increase compared to 2021, which saw 85.6 per cent of candidates achieving five or more O-Level passes.

Almost 23,700 candidates sat for the 2022 GCE O-Level examinations. At least 23,625 candidates, or 99.8 per cent of the cohort, achieved one pass, while at least 22,868 candidates, or 96.6 per cent, achieved three O-Level passes respectively.
