The '''Senior Cambridge''' examinations were [[General Certificate of Education]] examinations held in [[India]], [[Jamaica]], [[Malaysia]], [[Pakistan]], and [[Singapore]]. They were preceded by the [[Junior Cambridge]] and [[Preliminary Cambridge]] examinations.

==History==
===India===
The first school in [[Delhi]] to offer the Senior Cambridge examination was the [[Cambridge School (Daryaganj)|Cambridge School]] at [[Daryaganj]]. After 1972, the Senior Cambridge examinations were largely superseded by the [[Indian Certificate of Secondary Education]] (ICSE) and the Indian School Certificate (ISC) examinations conducted by the [[Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations]] (CISCE), an autonomous body established in 1958.

===Malaysia===
During the [[Japan]]ese occupation of Malaysia in [[World War II]], pupils who sat their Senior Cambridge examinations at some schools in 1941 had to wait until 1946 to learn their results. It was replaced with the [[Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia]] during the late 1970s.

===Pakistan===
At its independence from British India in 1947, Pakistan inherited a number of schools that offered Senior Cambridge examinations. But one of the first schools to offer Senior Cambridge was Cathedral School Hall Road Lahore. Since then, the number of schools with a Senior Cambridge curriculum expanded greatly, and Cambridge schools are prominent among the premier educational institutions of Pakistan.

===Singapore===
Prior to the introduction of the [[O Levels]] examinations by [[UCLES]], students sat for the Senior Cambridge examinations at the end of their four-year secondary school studies. This is equivalent to the [[General Certificate of Secondary Education]] (or GCSE) in England. The Higher School Certificate (HSC) examinations were replaced by [[A Levels]] (roughly equivalent to the present British "[[sixth form]]") in 1973.

==Subjects==
===Textbooks===
At the Victoria Institution in 1933, the following list of school textbooks was issued to pupils preparing to study for the Senior Cambridge examinations:
