About RP70 (70-Point Scale)

Note: This page displays admission data from AY2025/2026. The data represents grade profiles of students admitted in August 2025. If you're applying in January 2026, you're applying for AY2026/2027 admission.

Starting from 2026, Singapore universities will use the new 70-point scale (RP70) for A-Level admissions, replacing the traditional 90-point scale (RP90).

RP70 Calculation:

RP70 = 3 H2 subjects (max 60) + Best H1 subject (max 10)

GP and PW are no longer included in the calculation. Only the best-performing H1 subject counts.

This page displays RP70 as the primary metric for 2025/2026 admissions. The YoY comparison shows how admission requirements have changed compared to 2024/2025.
