Under the new system starting in 2026, the fourth content-based subject (whether H1 or H2) will only be counted if it improves a candidate’s University Admission Score. Further, Project Work (PW) will be graded on a pass/ fail basis only and will no longer contribute to rank points.
With these changes, the maximum University Admission Score or rank points will become 70 points (instead of 90) in 2026. If the scores for students’ fourth content-based subject and/or Mother Tongue Language (H1 MTL or O-Level HMTL) are counted, their UAS will be rebased to 70 rank points.
Maximum UAS (without including H1 / 4th H2 or Mother Tongue)
= 3 H2 + H1 GP
= 20 + 20 + 20 + 10
= 70
Maximum UAS (including H1 / 4th H2 but not Mother Tongue)
= [(3 H2 + 1 H1 + H1 GP) / 80] x 70
= [(20 + 20 + 20 + 10 + 10) / 80] x 70
= 70
Maximum UAS (including Mother Tongue but not H1 / 4th H2)
= [(3 H2 + H1 GP + H1 MTL/ O-Level HMTL) / 80] x 70
= [(20 + 20 + 20 + 10 + 10) / 80] x 70
= 70
Maximum UAS (including H1 / 4th H2 and Mother Tongue)
= [(3 H2 + 1 H1 + H1 GP + H1 MTL/ O-Level HMTL) / 90] x 70
= [20 + 20 + 20 + 10 + 10 + 10) / 90] x 70
= 70
