With less than 5 months to go for the PSLE exams, it might be time for some students to look at which secondary schools they would like to go to. While the cut off points and academic programmes are not the only factors to consider, they are important in deciding which schools your child can get into.

This article gives you a list of the latest secondary school cut-off points so that you can guide your child to make his/her plans.

Things you should know

What does Affiliation mean?

If the Primary School is affiliated to a Secondary School, this means that students of that Primary School will be able to get into the affiliated Secondary School at a lower cut-off point compared to students from other non-affiliated Primary Schools.

What is a SAP school?

Special Assistance Plan (SAP) caters to students who excel in both their Mother Tongue and the English language. However, currently the SAP schools only cater to the Mandarin mother tongue language. These are schools that may offer some subjects that will be taught in Chinese.

For students who took Higher Chinese at PSLE, they will be able to add 2 points to their aggregate score if they apply to SAP schools. This means that if X scores 240 and wishes to get into SAP School Y with a cut-off of 242, because X took higher Chinese, his aggregate score will be 242 if he applied to school Y.

There are a total of 26 SAP schools in Singapore.

What is IB?

International Baccalaureate (IB) is a different educational route from the conventional GCE O/A Levels. The examination methods are different but they are recognised globally as well. The international schools in Singapore usually adopt the IB education programme. There are a few local schools who adopt this programme as well.

You can find out more about IB on this website.

What is an IP Programme?

Integrated Programme (IP) is a programme where the students will not take GCE O levels. It will be a 6-year education from secondary school to junior college, culminating with the GCE A-level exams. Therefore the programme is also known as the “choo-train”, where students who get into this programme will be automatically secured a spot in the respective JCs, without having to go through another examination.

There are 16 schools offering the IP programme in Singapore.

Regardless of which school you're heading to, it's always great to give yourself a headstart for the next academic year with Snapask!
