No discrepancy found in O-Level English oral questions, says SEAB after online claims

The Singapore Examinations and Assessment Board (SEAB) clarified that there was no discrepancy in the GCE O-level English Language oral examination held on July 15. Online claims suggested some candidates faced different questions than those they had prepared for, following a Reddit post alleging inconsistencies. SEAB confirmed that all candidates and examiners accessed the same examination video and questions through their e-Examination system. They emphasized that verification processes ensure the correct materials are displayed. The oral exam, which accounts for 20% of the English grade, involves a 10-minute preparation period and a 10-minute spoken interaction. Over 5,000 students took the exam, and SEAB assured fairness through standardized assessments by trained examiners.
