Keeping up with the Cut-Off Points

It has already been two years after the Great Secondary School Banding Scrap of 2012. Life has continued as normal. Our education system hasn’t crumbled.

Yet.

Even the PSLE has yet to be abolished.

But some ingenious buggers at Acescorers have managed to create their own version of a secondary school ranking list, by somehow procuring a list of maximum, minimum, and average cut-off PSLE scores accepted this year.

Check out the best and worst of this year’s secondary schools with this handy chart below!
