I don't think you are able to find any entrance exam papers outside the school. However, you can get normal school exam papers from a few locations. But I need to know which ACS are you referring to ? ACS International, ACJC or ACS Independent? Which level are you applying for?

I can't exactly answer your question regarding entry tests, but ACS international does the Cambridge IGCSE course for 14-16 year olds. There is a good website, www.cie.org.uk which gives a lot of information and practice papers which will at least give you an idea of what they will be teaching in school.

I've not come across ACS International exam papers but have seen ACS (BakerRoad)'s. You can try to check with Cherish Assessment on the 2nd floor of Coronation Plaza. The lady boss may be able to supply Secondary Schools' exam papers.

For example, if you are taking the entrance exam for entry into Sec 3, you should try to do the SA2 Exam Papers for Sec 2.

Dear parents and current acs international students,

I am trying to get my son to take the placement test for ACS international sch grade 7 (sec 1) prior to his psle in oct this year. As he is extremely poor in math (besides the other borderline subjects), im worried he may not pass the placement test/DSA entry test.

Can any kind parent or student, esp those who have taken the dsa paper,tell me what kind of questions will come out? I tries to ask the school but was told very generally. I dont know how difficult the paper standard is compared to psle although its only 18 questions.any sample questions would be greatly appreciated. Im so so desperate now...many many thanks

Isnt this what learning Maths is all about , if you understand the first principles of any aspect of it , it doesnt matter what you get asked , you will just apply and hey presto .... success.

Doesn't Popular sell books full of past paper questions?
