2025 Secondary School Cut-Off Points in Singapore: Affiliated vs Non-Affiliated

Choosing the right secondary school for your child is one of the most important decisions after the PSLE.
In Singapore, each secondary school has a cut-off point (COP) for admission, which can differ for affiliated and non-affiliated students.
This guide compiles the 2025 cut-off points, based on the 2024 PSLE score ranges, for both Integrated Programme (IP) and O-Level track schools.

---

Understanding the Terms

• Affiliated – Students from the school’s primary section (or an affiliated school) may enjoy a lower cut-off point for entry.
• Non-Affiliated – Students without any affiliation; entry is based purely on merit.
• IP (Integrated Programme) – A 6-year programme leading directly to the A-Levels or IB, bypassing the O-Levels.
• PG3 / PG2 / PG1 – Refers to posting groups under the new PSLE Achievement Level (AL) system, corresponding to different subject combinations and streams.
• HCL Suffix – D, M, or P indicates Higher Chinese Language achievement (Distinction, Merit, Pass) which can affect the cut-off point.

Notes:

• When the cut-off is determined by Higher Chinese Language (HCL), the suffix D/M/P indicates Distinction, Merit, or Pass.
• Scores are based on previous year’s PSLE results (2024) for 2025 Sec 1 admission.

Key Observations for 2025

1. IP Schools Remain Highly Competitive
   Elite IP schools like Raffles Girls’ School, Nanyang Girls’ High, and ACS (Independent) maintain entry scores as low as AL6 for non-affiliated students.
2. Affiliated Advantage
   Schools with affiliation, such as Methodist Girls’, St. Joseph’s Institution, and Catholic High, show a 2–6 point difference in cut-off scores for affiliated students compared to non-affiliated.
3. Neighbourhood Schools Still Competitive
   Even popular non-IP schools like St. Hilda’s, Fairfield Methodist, and Paya Lebar Methodist Girls’ have COPs in the AL22–25 range for affiliated students.
4. HCL Impact
   For SAP schools like CHIJ St. Nicholas Girls’ and Catholic High, having Higher Chinese can improve admission chances.

How to Use This Information

When choosing a school:

• Check if your child has affiliation advantage.
• Compare the school’s COP with your child’s AL score.
• Consider CCA offerings, location, and school culture — not just the cut-off point.

Disclaimer: These cut-off points are based on 2024 PSLE results and are for 2025 Sec 1 intake. Actual COP may vary depending on demand and available vacancies.
