PSLE Secondary School Cut-Off Points & Rankings (2025 & 2026)

Compare PSLE Cut-Off Points For 2026

While the cut off point (COP) may change in 2026, the secondary school cut off point 2025 values are strong indicators of next year’s cohort requirements.

The table below ranks every secondary school by its 2025 cut-off point: the PSLE score of the last student posted there in the 2025 S1 posting. We’ve included the 2024 and 2023 cut-offs so you can see which schools are getting harder or easier to enter, plus each school’s 2025 score range by posting group, for both IP and Non-IP schools.

Cut-off: the PSLE score of the last student posted to the school. A lower cut-off is harder to get into. For Non-IP rows it is Posting Group 3, non-affiliated

Score range: the PSLE scores of the first and last students posted in 2025, by posting group. Aff is the range for students from affiliated primary schools

D, M, P: at SAP schools, the Higher Chinese grade (Distinction, Merit, Pass) of the first or last student, e.g. 8M

* The school still had places after posting, so its cut-off is shown as the highest score in that posting group

Change: the 2025 cut-off minus 2024. A minus means the school got harder to enter

Sources: 2025 from MOE SchoolFinder; 2024 and 2023 from Zenith's records. Specialised schools that only take students through DSA, such as NUS High and SOTA, have no cut-off

How To Prepare For Secondary School After PSLE

Getting into secondary school is an exciting milestone, but the transition after PSLE can also feel overwhelming for many students and parents. With new subjects, faster-paced lessons, and higher academic expectations, Secondary 1 is a major adjustment period.

Whether your child is heading to an Integrated Programme (IP) school or taking subjects at G1, G2 or G3 under Full Subject-Based Banding (FSBB), building strong foundations early can make a huge difference. Subjects like Math, Science, and English become more demanding in secondary school, and many students struggle not because they lack ability, but because they are unfamiliar with the new pace and answering styles.

At Zenith Education Studio, we help students prepare for secondary school with structured secondary school tuition programmes across key academic subjects — from lower secondary foundation building to upper secondary SEC (formerly O-Level) preparation.

Are there still Express, NA and NT streams? What is my Secondary School Posting Group?

From 2024 onwards, the Express, Normal (Academic) and Normal (Technical) streams have been removed. Students will instead be posted to secondary school through three Posting Groups - Posting Groups 1, 2, and 3. 

‍

Posting Groups will only be used to admit students into secondary school and to guide the initial subject levels that students can take at the start of Secondary 1. Throughout their secondary school education, students can take subjects at three subject levels: G1, G2, G3, which are mapped from the previous N(T), N(A) and Express standards respectively.

‍

These subject levels can be adjusted at appropriate junctures, based on students’ strengths, interests and learning needs. For more information on the move to Full Subject-Based Banding, please visit MOE’s website.

"Duncan is a super super caring teacher who puts his all in his students!! He goes through content in depth beyond A level content sometimes to spark our interest in physics and his enthusiasm in teaching is very infectious! Not only is he good at explaining concepts and going through questions, he is extremely patient and does not leave anyone behind in the classroom."

"While Zenith’s notes are much better than my school's, it was truly my tutor who got me from a U to A grade. He is someone I truly respect. Not only was he very approachable, he made sure that we really absorbed what we needed, and was always willing to stay way past our lesson timings to clarify any of our questions."

"After joining Zenith Bio, my grades improved drastically from an S to an A in A Level’s! Bio is so much more than regurgitation and requires a firm understanding of the subject in order to ace A Levels — I was super glad that I was able to text my friendly tutor with any questions I had!! Getting treated to welfare during bio lessons also really helped me to focus throughout the lesson. 🥤"

"Attending Zenith's General Paper tuition with my tutor Hui Ying was a game-changer for me. Zenith provided the structure I needed and introduced me to formulas for answering GP questions I didn't know existed. Their tactics, gradually instilled, became second nature, leading to marked improvement."

"With the huge academic transition to JC, I was unable to cope with my studies and constantly scored an S for my exams. After joining the crash courses held by Zenith in June, I decided to sign up for their chemistry class! My tutor is an extremely helpful teacher and his teachings were concise and easy to understand which greatly helped me clear up any misconceptions I had."

"Mandy helped me learn to appreciate Math! Her explanations of answering techniques and methods are so helpful and easy to follow. The practices we did in class helped me to familiarise myself with the common questions tested in exams and I felt more confident stepping into the exam hall."
