Can I retake CPE exams?

It seems that if you're in primary or secondary school, then you shouldn't have reached 13 years of age on 1st January of the year you wish to be enrolled for the CPE exam. I know many pupils try to give it another go when they are in Form 1 in an attempt to enhance their marks and get better results.

However, you can bypass the age restriction by entering yourself as a private candidate. So if that means a lot to you, then you can go down this route.

These subjects are compulsory :

1. English
2. Mathematics
3. French
4. Science
5. History & Geography

But you can also choose a 6th one from the following :

• Hindi
• Urdu
• Tamil
• Telugu
• Marathi
• Modern Chinese
• Arabic

It's been 13 years since you took that exam, so good luck if you're planning to do it again :)
