Your child's score

Lower is better.

Optional. We mark any choice that would not take your child, from MOE SchoolFinder.

Your six choices, in order

From MOE SchoolFinder, type last year's PSLE Score range for your child's Posting Group: the first student posted, then the last student posted (the cut-off). Leave a range blank if you have not looked it up yet. We do not publish school ranges.

      MOE's posting rules, read today

      This planner sorts your own figures; it never predicts a posting and never says a school is safe. Last year's ranges change every year: MOE says cut-offs typically move by 1 point and can move by 2 or 3, and meeting a cut-off does not guarantee a place because tie-breakers apply. Use MOE SchoolFinder for ranges and the MOE S1 Posting page for the rules and dates. Rules and dates checked ; 2026 dates are tentative until MOE confirms them.

      Common questions

      Does this tell us which school our child will get?

      No. It only compares your child's score with last year's ranges that you type in. Posting depends on this year's scores, the order of your choices, tie-breakers and vacancies, and last year's ranges change every year.

      What do above, around and below mean?

      Above means last year's cut-off was more than 1 point better than your child's score. Around means it was within 1 point. Below means your child's score was more than 1 point better than last year's cut-off.

      Why do you not show school cut-offs?

      MOE publishes last year's ranges in SchoolFinder for each Posting Group. We point you there rather than copy them, so you always read the official, current figures.

      Where should our affiliated school go?

      Affiliation priority only counts when the affiliated secondary school is your first choice. Listed anywhere else, your child is considered without affiliation priority.
