By The conventional approach to S-AEIS Preparation often focuses solely on achieving high scores, but at Miles Education, we’ve discovered that successful preparation encompasses much more. According to Singapore’s Ministry of Education statistics, students who develop comprehensive learning skills during their S-AEIS preparation show a 40% higher success rate in their subsequent academic journey.

The S-AEIS (Supplementary Admissions Exercise for International Students) isn’t just another test:
