How the University Admission Score (UAS) is computed

Each different A-Level subject grade results in a different corresponding rank point as shown in the table below:

How the University Admission Score is currently computed (in or before 2025)

Currently, for students who take 4 H2 content subjects, their lowest-scoring H2 subject is considered as an H1 subject for the purpose of computing their University Admission Score (i.e. calculated based on the H1 subject rank points). This means that the maximum rank points or University Admission Score is 90. 

For students who take Mother Tongue Language (H1 MTL or O-Level HMTL), their Mother Tongue score will only be counted if it improves their University Admission Score. If the Mother Tongue score is counted, the UAS will be rebased from 100 to 90 rank points. 

Maximum UAS (without including Mother Tongue) 

= 3 H2 + 1 H1 + H1 GP + H1 PW

= 20 + 20 + 20 + 10 + 10 + 10 

= 90

Maximum UAS (including Mother Tongue) 

= [(3 H2 + 1 H1 + H1 GP + H1 PW + H1 MTL/ O-Level HMTL) / 100] x 90 

= [20 + 20 + 20 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10) / 100] x 90 

= 90

How the University Admission Score will be computed from 2026 onwards

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

Indicative Grade Profiles for Local Universities (AY 2023/2024)

For ease of reference, our local universities usually provide an indication of the grade profiles for the majority of A-Level applicants who were offered admission to their programmes. Applicants can use the relevant profiles to guide them in their selection of programme choices when they submit their applications to the respective universities. 

You can refer to the tables below for the grade profiles of the 10th and 90th percentiles of A-Level applicants offered places for degree programmes in the National University of Singapore (NUS), Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and Singapore Management University (SMU), in AY 2023/2024.

"Duncan is a super super caring teacher who puts his all in his students!! He goes through content in depth beyond A level content sometimes to spark our interest in physics and his enthusiasm in teaching is very infectious! Not only is he good at explaining concepts and going through questions, he is extremely patient and does not leave anyone behind in the classroom."

"While Zenith’s notes are much better than my school's, it was truly my tutor who got me from a U to A grade. He is someone I truly respect. Not only was he very approachable, he made sure that we really absorbed what we needed, and was always willing to stay way past our lesson timings to clarify any of our questions."

"After joining Zenith Bio, my grades improved drastically from an S to an A in A Level’s! Bio is so much more than regurgitation and requires a firm understanding of the subject in order to ace A Levels — I was super glad that I was able to text my friendly tutor with any questions I had!! Getting treated to welfare during bio lessons also really helped me to focus throughout the lesson. 🥤"

"Attending Zenith's General Paper tuition with my tutor Hui Ying was a game-changer for me. Zenith provided the structure I needed and introduced me to formulas for answering GP questions I didn't know existed. Their tactics, gradually instilled, became second nature, leading to marked improvement."

"With the huge academic transition to JC, I was unable to cope with my studies and constantly scored an S for my exams. After joining the crash courses held by Zenith in June, I decided to sign up for their chemistry class! My tutor is an extremely helpful teacher and his teachings were concise and easy to understand which greatly helped me clear up any misconceptions I had."

"Mandy helped me learn to appreciate Math! Her explanations of answering techniques and methods are so helpful and easy to follow. The practices we did in class helped me to familiarise myself with the common questions tested in exams and I felt more confident stepping into the exam hall."
