How is the A Level scoring system calculated?
The A-Level scoring system, specifically the JC rank points, is calculated by summing up the marks obtained by students in their respective subjects. Typically, this calculation involves considering a combination of three H2 content-based subjects, one H1 content-based subject, the H1 General Paper, and the H1 Project Work.
For instance:
Maximum Rank Points = 3 H2 Subjects RP + 1 H1 Subject RP + H1 General Paper RP and H1 Project Work RP

For those who are still interested in delving deeper into how A-Level RP calculations work, we have prepared three scenarios to provide further insight and explanation on the details. These scenarios aim to offer a clearer understanding of how rank points are calculated and their significance in the university application process. Let’s explore these scenarios in more depth to enhance your knowledge about A-Level Rank Points calculations.
Scenario 1: All Four (4) H2 Subjects without H1 and MTL
Monica chooses to take 4 H2 subjects without H1 and Mother Tongue Language.
Subjects Taken: 4 H2 subjects, 1 H1 General Paper, and H1 Project Work
Her Grades: ABBA/AA
(where the grades before the backslash refer to the H2 subjects, and grades after the backslash refer to the H1 subjects)
Subjects Calculated: 3 H2 subjects + 1 H1 subject (weakest H2 score converted as H1) + 1 H1 GP + 1 H1 PW
= 20 + 17.5 + 17.5 + 10 + 10 + 10
= 85
Monica’s Rank points would be 85 out of a total of 90 points.
Alternatively, use this calculator for calculating your rank points.
Scenario 2: Three (3) H2 Subjects with H1 and MTL
Now let’s consider Amanda, who takes 3 H2 subjects, 1 H1 subject, and a Mother Tongue Language (MTL), in addition to H1 General Paper and H1 Project Work. The calculation for her rank points will be different in this scenario. The total score will be divided by 100 and then multiplied by 90, as 90 is the highest rank point achievable.
Assuming Amanda achieves the following results:
Subjects Taken: 3 H2 subjects, 1 H1 subject, 1 H1 General Paper, H1 Project Work, and H1 MTL
Her Grades: AAB/CCAA
(where the grades before the backslash refer to the H2 subjects, and grades after the backslash refer to the H1 subjects)
= (3 H2 + 1 H1 + H1 GP + H1 PW + H1 MTL) / 100 × 90
= [(20 + 20 + 17.5 + 7.5 + 7.5 + 10 + 10) / 100] × 90
= 83.25
Amanda’s Rank points would be 83.25 out of a total of 90 points.
Alternatively, use this calculator for calculating your rank points.
Scenario 3: Three (3) H2 Subjects without MTL
Now, FongYee’s has chosen to pursue 3 H2 subjects without MTL. Let’s see how her scores will be converted into rank points:
Subjects Taken: 3 H2 subjects, 1 H1 subject, 1 H1 General Paper, H1 Project Work
Her Grades: ABB/CCA
(where the grades before the backslash refer to the H2 subjects, and grades after the backslash refer to the H1 subjects)
= (3 H2 + 1 H1 + H1 GP + H1 PW)
= [20 + 17.5 + 17.5 + 7.5 + 7.5 + 10]
= 80
FongYee’s Rank points would be 80 out of a total of 90 points.

Path After A-Levels: Exploring Opportunities and Making Informed Decisions
After receiving their A-Levels examination results, students are faced with a significant decision: choosing their educational path. This crucial juncture offers a few options: pursuing a degree immediately, retake your A-Levels, going for a polytechnic course, doing part-time or considering a gap year to gain practical experience before making an informed choice.
Local U or Private U
For those who aspire to pursue higher education, there are two pathways to consider: enrolling in either local or private universities. In Singapore, there are six prestigious local universities, each offering a range of programs designed to meet diverse interests and career goals. Our team has meticulously compiled the latest Indicative Grade Profiles (IGP) for these local universities. Now that you have calculated your rank points using the RP calculator, it’s time to explore the course eligibility criteria. Enhance your prospects by acquiring insight into various university rank points through a review of past year’s IGP data. This information will serve as a valuable guide to help you gauge and choose the most suitable course to apply for.
IGP for National University of Singapore (NUS)
IGP for Nanyang Technological University (NTU)
IGP for Singapore Management University (SMU)
IGP for Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS)
IGP for Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT)
IGP for Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD)
Alternatively, private universities provide appealing options, addressing specific preferences and requirements. Institutions like Curtin Singapore, James Cook University, Singapore Institute of Management (SIM), and Kaplan Higher Education offer specialized courses to meet individual needs.
Aspiring artists can embark on a creative journey through esteemed arts institutions such as the LASALLE College of the Arts or the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA), fostering and empowering young talents in the world of arts and culture.
Retake A-Level
For those who believe that a second attempt could lead to their desired results, retaking ‘A’ Levels is a viable option. Whether as a private candidate or within their junior college (JC) setting, students need to inquire about the specific criteria and reapplication procedures from their respective JCs.
Polytechnic Route
Alternatively, for those who find the prospect of retaking ‘A’ Levels less appealing or incongruent with their aspirations, exploring the polytechnic route may be a more sensible choice, especially for those with a clear vision of their future path. Polytechnics offer a range of practical and career-focused programs, equipping students with relevant skills and knowledge for their chosen industries.
Part-time jobs or internships
Embracing the idea of gaining real-world experience and exploring diverse career paths, students can engage in part-time jobs or internships during their gap year. This hands-on experience not only provides valuable insights into various industries but also allows them to discover and refine their interests and strengths.
Numerous part-time job opportunities and internships are available through job portals like FastJobs, Glints, and Indeed, serving as invaluable resources for finding suitable positions that align with individual interests and preferences.
Exciting chapter ahead
The post-A-Levels phase offers a unique chance to explore diverse pathways, discover hidden passions, and gain a deeper understanding of oneself. Whether students choose higher education, vocational training, or gainful work experience, each path contributes to personal growth and development.
Regardless of the chosen path, students are encouraged to take the time to carefully consider their interests, talents, and long-term goals. Seeking advice from teachers, mentors, and career counselors can assist in making informed decisions that resonate with individual aspirations.
This chapter of life is a journey of self-discovery and exploration, and by approaching it with an open mind and a proactive attitude, students can pave the way for a fulfilling and rewarding future. The post-A-Levels phase is an exciting chapter marked by transformative choices and opportunities for personal and professional growth. With careful consideration and guidance, students can set themselves on a path towards a successful and gratifying future.
