The national examination fees that are payable for school candidates are based on the candidates’ citizenship at the point of their registration for the national examinations. This is applied to all school candidates who sit for the GCE-Level examinations each year. The fees are not adjusted if school candidates change their citizenship status after the school candidate registration deadline.
A fixed deadline is necessary to determine the payable examination fees and requests to pay examination fees at different rates. This ensures fairness for all candidates who take the national examinations each year.
