Education Testing in Singapore
At Global Education Testing, we specialize in providing comprehensive educational assessments for international students in Singapore, addressing a wide range of learning challenges such as Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, Dyscalculia, Dyspraxia, ADHD, and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
Our services cater to families of international and private school students who are seeking professional, internationally recognized evaluations in a country where specialized testing resources are often limited. We also offer Emotional Testing and comprehensive assessments for securing extra time in exams, ensuring that students receive the accommodations they need to perform at their best.
Private Educational Testing in Singapore
In Singapore, access to specialized educational assessments for learning disabilities such as Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, Dyscalculia, and Dyspraxia is limited, despite the country’s renowned international school system. While many top international schools—such as Tanglin Trust School, United World College of South East Asia (UWCSEA), Dulwich College Singapore, Canadian International School (CIS), and Stamford American International School (SAIS)—are committed to inclusive education, local testing resources are often insufficient to diagnose these learning challenges early on.
Parents of students in these schools may struggle to get timely, professional evaluations when their children show signs of learning difficulties. Global Education Testing fills this gap by offering comprehensive assessments, including ADHD Testing, ASD Testing, and Emotional Testing, all designed to help students receive the appropriate accommodations, such as extra time in exams, assistive technology, or modified learning plans.
According to recent educational insights from Singapore, an estimated 12-15% of students may experience some form of learning difficulty, yet many go undiagnosed until later in their educational journey. This is partly due to the limited availability of specialized educational psychologists in the region and the lack of comprehensive in-school testing resources.
In fact, only about 30-40% of students with suspected learning disabilities receive proper accommodations in international schools.
By partnering with Global Education Testing, families in Singapore can ensure their children are given access to Dyslexia Testing and other specialized evaluations that meet international standards. These assessments are conducted by professionals trained in countries like the UK, USA, and Australia, ensuring they are recognized both in Singapore and globally.
Our reports provide a formal diagnosis that is accepted by educational institutions worldwide, ensuring that students transitioning between schools or moving abroad can continue to receive the support they need.
Internationally Recognized Reports for Top Schools & Universities
Is a School Screening Enough?
While international schools in Singapore, such as Tanglin, UWC and Dulwich College Singapore, often offer basic screenings for learning difficulties, these are typically insufficient for diagnosing complex conditions like Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, ADHD, or Dyscalculia. School-based screenings may be able to detect early signs of learning challenges, but they lack the depth and comprehensive analysis that only a full educational assessment conducted by a qualified educational psychologist can provide.
Educational Psychologist
Only a Comprehensive private evaluation by an Educational Psychologist can diagnose learning disabilities and provides detailed recommendations for accommodations, such as up to 100% extra time in exams. For families in Singapore, private assessments offer the expertise needed to address their child’s learning needs. Schools such as Singapore American, Canadian International and XCL World Academy often rely on our evaluations to ensure students are given the right interventions
Extra Time in Exams
Students with diagnosed learning disabilities have difficulty in processing information or organizing thoughts under exam time conditions. By getting extra time through proper educational assessments, these students are granted the opportunity to perform at their true potential, leveling the playing field with their peers. This exam accommodation can be particularly advantageous when competing for placements at top universities. Securing this support is done with a professional diagnosis provided by Global Education Testing

Global Education Testing Singapore
International schools in Singapore have a strong focus on inclusive education, but many lack the specialized resources needed to fully assess and accommodate students with learning disabilities. Global Education Testing works with some of the most prestigious schools in Singapore, including:
- Tanglin Trust School
- United World College of South East Asia (UWCSEA)
- Dulwich College Singapore
- Canadian International School (CIS)
- St. Joseph’s Institution International

These schools are known for their high academic standards and global curricula, but often parents are left seeking external solutions to diagnose learning difficulties. At Global Education Testing, we offer specialized assessments, ensuring that students in these elite schools receive tailored interventions for their specific learning challenges.
Comprehensive Assessments for Special Educational Needs (SEN) in Singapore
At Global Education Testing, we work closely with families across Singapore to identify and address learning challenges such as Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, ADHD, and other Special Educational Needs (SEN). Our highly qualified educational psychologists collaborate with both parents and SENCO coordinators in schools to ensure that students receive the necessary educational accommodations.
Our assessments provide precise, actionable recommendations that benefit students both at home and in the classroom, including accommodations like extra time in exams, personalized learning interventions. Individualized Learning Plans, recommendations for adaptive technology or different approaches for learning.
Early Intervention in Singapore’s International Schools
Early diagnosis is essential for providing children with the support they need to excel academically and socially. At Global Education Testing, we emphasize the importance of early identification, particularly in competitive school environments like Singapore. The earlier a child’s learning challenges are diagnosed, the faster they can receive targeted support, the better it is for their long-term academic and emotional development.
Diagnosis Report
After completing a comprehensive educational assessment with Global Education Testing in Singapore, parents will receive a detailed, in-depth diagnostic report, providing valuable insights into their child’s unique learning profile.
This report will identify any diagnosed learning disabilities such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, ADHD, or dyspraxia, based on thorough, standardized assessments conducted by our expert educational psychologists. Each assessment is meticulously designed to uncover the specific challenges affecting your child’s academic performance and to guide effective, tailored interventions.
The diagnostic report is internationally recognized, making it valid for securing accommodations at any school following international curricula, such as iGCSE, A Levels, IB, GED, SAT, APN, STEP, MAT and more.
Whether your child is attending International or Private School in Singapore, you can be confident that their learning needs will be met both locally and globally.
Our approach is not just about diagnosis; it’s about empowering parents and educators with the tools and strategies they need to make a meaningful difference in the child’s academic journey. At Global Education Testing, we provide parents with actionable insights that can significantly improve a child’s confidence and performance, ensuring they have the support needed to thrive in competitive educational settings across Singapore.
Combating Bias in Education for Children with Learning Challenges
Unfortunately, some children in Singapore with undiagnosed learning difficulties often face bias in the classroom. Educators, without the benefit of a formal diagnosis, may develop preconceived notions about a child’s capabilities, leading to misconceptions that the child is simply not trying hard enough or has behavioral issues.
This bias can affect the support a student receives, as educators may form judgments that impact how they view the child’s learning potential.
Global Education Testing is dedicated to helping educators and parents in Singapore understand the root causes of a child’s difficulties, which often stem from learning challenges rather than behavioral issues. By providing a clear diagnosis, we ensure that students are treated with the understanding and respect they deserve, allowing them to access the right interventions and accommodations.
Tailored Educational Assessments
Each assessment we conduct is tailored to the child’s individual needs, offering parents a deep understanding of their child’s learning challenges. With thorough, evidence-based assessments, we provide actionable recommendations to help address those challenges.
Our telehealth model allows us to offer comprehensive educational assessments without the need for families to travel to a physical location, ensuring students can be evaluated from the comfort of their own home. Using secure, HIPAA-compliant technology, we bring these assessments directly to families, eliminating the need for long waiting periods or travel.
Your Test Remains As Private as You Like
We maintain strict privacy and confidentiality with every assessment. Parents in Singapore have full control over how and when their child’s results are shared, allowing them to decide what information they want to disclose to educators or other parties. This ensures that the entire process is handled with care and professionalism, giving families peace of mind.
