Hougang Secondary School cut-off points, 2023–2025
| Group | 2025 | 2024 | 2023 |
|---|---|---|---|

Years are PSLE years: the 2025 cut-off is for 2026 Secondary 1 admission (often called the "2026 cut-off point"). Each cell is the PSLE score range of students admitted: the left number is the best score admitted, the right number is the last student admitted, which is what people call the cut-off.
PSLE 2026 cut-off estimate (2027 intake)
| Group | 2025 actual | 2026 estimate |
|---|---|---|
| PG3 | 20 | 19–20 |
| PG2 | 24 | 23–25 |
| PG1 | 27 | 26–28 |
Why: most 2026 candidates were born in 2014, about 6% more births than 2013, much like 2024. That year IP and PG3 cut-offs mostly held or tightened by 1 point, while PG2 and PG1 moved within 1 point. Applying the same rule to 2023 figures to estimate 2024 (the last larger cohort), the actual cut-off fell inside the range for 91% of PG3 schools, 96% of PG2 schools, 92% of PG1 schools. This is an estimate, not a guarantee; MOE publishes the real figures in December. Estimates for every school →
Worth knowing
- A PG3 cut-off of 22 means the last student admitted scored 22; at 22 the tie-breakers decide, so it is not guaranteed.
