PSLE score ranges (cut-off points)
| Track | 2025 intake |
|---|---|
| Posting Group 3 | 8 – 13 |
| Posting Group 2 | 21 – 23 |
| Posting Group 1 | 25 – 28 |
Each range runs from the first to the last student posted through S1 Posting for that intake year (the year students entered Secondary 1; PSLE was taken the year before). Lower is better. Ranges move a few points year to year with cohort results and choice patterns, and students who met the cut-off may still have been tie-broken out.
