Secondary 1 Posting Results 2021: Over 80% Of Students Got Posted To A School Within First 3 Choices

Secondary 1 Posting Results 2021: Over 80% Of Students Got Posted To A School Within First 3 Choices

No secondary school required students to have a perfect PSLE score.

Students who sat for this year’s Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) received their Secondary 1 School posting results on Wednesday (22 December).

This batch of students for 2021 is the first to take the PSLE under the new scoring system that replaced the past T-score system. This year, students were given an Achievement Level (AL) ranging from 1 to 8 for each subject.

According to a press release by the Ministry of Education (MOE), over 80 per cent of students were posted to a secondary school within their first three choices. Meanwhile, more than 90 per cent of students got into a school within their six choices.

There were no secondary schools that required students to get a perfect score during the PSLE for admission under the new scoring system. A perfect score amounts to four points. 

Secondary schools ran the integrated programme with a cut-off of between six and nine (M) points. The top schools had a cut-off of six points. There was no school that had a cut-off of four or five points.

The cut-off point refers to the PSLE score of the last student posted to a particular school for each course, as per MOE. 

Students Not Required To Immediately Report To Posted School After Receiving Results

MOE adds how students do not need to report to their posted secondary schools after they receive their Secondary 1 School posting results. 

Students can instead refer to the website of their posted schools starting from 22 December for more information. This includes the following:

  • Instructions on online purchase of books and uniforms
  • Booklist
  • Reporting details

Parents of the incoming Secondary 1 cohort who are on Parents Gateway (PG) can also expect to receive information from their children’s posted schools. 

The ministry notes that if a student is unable to report to their posted secondary school on the first day of school on 4 January 2022 due to valid reasons, they may contact the school to confirm they are taking up the place. The school will then reserve the place for them.
