The numbers may surprise you:
• 10% of each Primary 6 cohort enter Integrated Programme (IP) schools, with PSLE cut-off scores typically ranging from AL4 to AL8, depending on the school.
• Approximately 50-60%of students are placed in the O-Level Express stream, which generally requires PSLE scores between AL9 and AL22.
• Over 42% of each cohort eventually secure places in local universities like NUS, NTU, SMU, SUTD, SIT, and SUSS.
With 35,000–45,000 students in each cohort, it’s evident:
Gaining admission to university is more attainable than entering an IP school.
