NUS Libraries provides access to the Examination Papers (EXAM) database which consists of past examination papers (not midterms, SM2 etc) of the National University of Singapore that were released by the Faculties/Schools.
The database is updated whenever the Library receives new examination papers from the Faculties/Schools.
Please note that Access to the database is restricted to the staff and student of NUS only.
To access the database, head to the library portal.
Click on Exam Papers tab.
Please login with your NUSNET userid and password.
Once you have accessed the exam papers database, you can do a basic search for example by Course Code or via advanced search by combining fields like Course Code, Course Name, Faculty/School/Department, Year of Examination etc. Using this option may provide more flexibility in searching as you are able to combine fields and use operators to limit your searches.
Please take note that:
- In some cases, the exam papers cannot be found in the database if the course is new
- For exam papers withheld from departments, there will be a note saying "Paper not released by department." This is a decision made by the department and the library is unable to provide access to them in any form.
- Board of Undergraduate Studies has decided that with effect from Academic Year 2012/13, only the recent five year examination papers are made accessible to students. This is because course contents change rapidly and all courses are revised regularly to keep the materials up-to-date. Hence, materials that are more than five years old are usually obsolete.
