Secondary 1 (S1): How to choose schools

The PSLE score ranges in SchoolFinder serve only as a reference as they are based on the PSLE scores and school choices of the previous Primary 6 cohort.

Cut-off points (COPs) can fluctuate by a few points year-on-year, depending on each cohort’s PSLE results and school choices made by the students in that year’s S1 Posting Exercise.

Meeting the COPs does not guarantee admission. For each school, the COPs are determined by the PSLE score of the last student posted to that school in each Posting Group. Not every student who met the COP was posted as they may have been tie-broken out.
