Secondary 1 (S1): How posting works

Academic merit (PSLE score) is still the first criterion for posting. Students are posted to secondary school based on:

  • Their PSLE results according to the eligible Posting Group.
  • Their order of school choices.
  • Vacancies at the chosen schools.

Students with better PSLE scores will be considered first for vacancies in their chosen schools. When there are 2 or more students with the same PSLE score vying for the last available places in a school, tie-breakers will be used.
