- Submission of school choices for S1 Posting has ended.

What do you need to know?
- The previous year’s PSLE score ranges currently listed in the SchoolFinder serve only as a reference. It refers to the PSLE score of the first and last student admitted to a particular school in the previous year through S1 Posting.
- Actual cut-off points (COPs) for the current year’s cohort are determined by actual school choices and reflect the score of the last student admitted into each school. The actual COP of a school is known only after the conclusion of the current year’s S1 Posting.
PSLE results released

If you or your child is unable to collect their PSLE results, S1 Option Form and Eligibility Letter at their school, you can nominate another adult to do so using this proxy form.
