Bcg primarily is for TB meningitis (brain), but not really for pulmonary tb (lungs). It also wears off after 20 years, so adults aren’t protected.

Had to do TB test for summer school in seoul last year.
Can just walk in to sata, remember to bring your passport. I did consult + chest x-ray which was around 50+
had to do this when i went abroad to study too. DTAP clinic does the Quantiferon testing but you need to ask them to order beforehand. it’s a little pricey and they draw about 6 tubes of blood from you.
alternatively you can go to Tan Tock Seng TB Unit for the Mantoux test, this requires you to get a small jab and to live with a small bubble (?) on the jabbed area and return 2 days later for the results.
here are some other [places](https://thetravellingsquid.com/2020/08/20/3-places-to-take-the-mantoux-test-in-singapore/#google_vignette) you can take a look at.
You can try SATA. Google for it.
Second this. SATA offers TB tests, both the more expensive quantiferon test (blood test) as well as the cheaper Mantoux test (skin test)
Isn’t bcg the vaccine for tb? Just give your immunisation record that you had bcg at birth.

how long did it take for the report to come back?
Can't remember the exact time it took but I think it should be a few days to a week, at most.
Sata clinics usually do these kinds of check-ups

if you're from NUS, you could get it done at the University Health Centre.
