Cut-off points, 2025 S1 posting
- The cut-off (COP) is the PSLE score of the last student posted; “first posted” is the best. Lower is better. Meeting it doesn't guarantee a place: ties are broken by citizenship, then choice order, then ballot.
- For students entering Secondary 1 in 2026. Cut-offs shift a little each year.
- Letters are the Higher Chinese grade of the first and last student: D Distinction, M Merit, P Pass.
