What Is the PSLE Cut-Off Point for Raffles Girls’ School 📚
The cut-off point (COP) is the lowest AL score (Achievement Level) accepted by a school for Secondary 1 admission through the Posting Exercise.
Raffles Girls’ is an SAP school offering the Integrated Programme (IP). This means students bypass O-Levels and proceed directly to the A-Level curriculum (usually in partnership with Raffles Institution).
As of the latest data:
2022: AL 6 – 8
2023: AL 4 – 6
2024: AL 4 – 6 (estimated)
2025: TBC
🧠 Reminder: The lower the AL score, the better the result. AL 4 is a high score.
Raffles Girls’ School Cut-Off Trends 📈
In recent years, the RGS cut-off point has remained consistently competitive — often requiring near-perfect scores across subjects.
What we’ve seen:
Increasing demand from top-performing students post-COVID.
Stable cut-off at AL 4–6, suggesting continued elite intake.
Little fluctuation, meaning expectations are clear but tough.
Based on trends, the 2025 PSLE cut-off for Raffles Girls’ School is likely to remain at AL 4–6, with AL 5 or lower giving your child the best chance.
How Is The Cut-Off Point Calculated? 🗓️
The Ministry of Education (MOE) uses your child’s four subject AL scores, added together. For example:
📕 English = 1
📏 Mathematics = 1
🧪 Science = 1
🗣️ Mother Tongue = 1
Total = 4
A student with this profile would be in a strong position for RGS.
If your child scores AL 6 or above, admission is still possible — but competition will be tougher, and appeals less likely to succeed.
What Subjects Matter Most for RGS Admission? 🎯
Raffles Girls’ doesn’t publicly weight any subject more heavily than others but based on student profiles and expectations, it’s clear that English and Mathematics are key indicators of academic strength.
Strong performance in:
Mathematics – High expectations for logical reasoning and future IP curriculum
English – Strong reading, writing and critical thinking are essential for A-Levels
Mother Tongue – Required for all students unless exempted.
Tips to Increase Your Child’s Chances of Getting Into RGS🏫
Getting into Raffles Girls’ means excelling academically but also staying calm, consistent, and strategic. Here’s what we recommend:
1. Aim for AL 4–5 Total
This should be your target range for maximum confidence at the Posting Exercise.
2. Strengthen Weak Subjects Early
Don’t wait until Primary 6. Early P5 support in weaker areas (especially English or Maths) makes a huge difference.
3. Use PSLE Practice Papers
Download free past-year papers and mock exams. Simulate exam conditions.
4. Consider Group Tuition or Exam Strategy Workshops
Our PSLE English Tuition Programme is designed to help high-performing students polish their reading comprehension, writing, and grammar — key areas for success.
5. Stay Updated With MOE Announcements
Cut-off points can shift. We’ll update this page when the 2025 official figures are released.
Should You Appeal If You Miss the Cut-Off? 🤔
If your child scores AL 7 or 8, an appeal may be possible but space is extremely limited and based on school discretion.
Instead, we recommend considering other top Integrated Programme schools with slightly more flexible entry points, such as:
Nanyang Girls’ High School
Methodist Girls’ School (IP)
Singapore Chinese Girls’ School
