For easy comparison between courses, the indicative grade profiles of students holding A level qualifications entering all courses offered by the 3 local universities are as shown in the table below, along with the places taken up in previous year, 2013/14. Please note that the scores and places offered vary each year, use it only as reference.
10th percentile refers to the A Level grade which is higher than 10% of that of other A level students who entered the course. 90th percentile refers to the A Level grade which is higher than 90% of that of other A Level students who entered the course.
The grade profiles refer to the grades scored by Singapore-Cambridge A-level applicants in their three H2 and one H1 subjects. For the purpose of this notification, Grade C is assumed for both General Paper (GP) and Project Work (PW) in determining the grade profiles. Please note that certain courses may require grades higher than Grade C for GP. There could be other “equivalent” profiles for each programme. For example, a grade profile of ABC/C could be considered to be broadly equivalent to BBB/C, unless there are pre-requisites.
