PSLE score 16: which secondary schools?
AL 16 is in PG3; all six choices are made in this Posting Group.
Posting Group 3
PG3 covers AL 4–22. Counts use 2025 and earlier non-affiliated cut-offs across all of Singapore, with no distance limit.
Reach: the latest cut-off is 1–2 points better than your score. Match: you meet the latest cut-off, but an earlier year was stricter or you are exactly at it. Safe: at least 1 point better than every recorded cut-off, but no more than 4 points.
Another 35 schools have cut-offs more than 5 points easier than AL 16. Admission is certain, but they would waste one of your six choices, so they are not counted as safe.
