NUS Libraries provides access to the Examination Papers 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 NUS Libraries receives new examination paper PDF files from the Faculties/Schools/Colleges.
Please note that access to the database is restricted to the staff and students of NUS only.
To access the database, head to NUS Libraries Portal and click on Exam Papers tab. Alternatively, the Examination Papers database can be directly accessed at https://digitalgems.nus.edu.sg/browse/collection/31
Please login with your NUSNET userid and password.
Once you have accessed the Examination Papers database, you can do a basic search (e.g. by Course Code) or advanced search by combining fields (e.g. Course Code, Course Name, Faculty/School/College of, Department, Year of Examination, etc). The advanced search 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 by departments, there will be a note saying "Paper not released by department." This is a decision made by the department and NUS Libraries 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.
