SINGAPORE: Around 94.7 per cent of candidates scored at least three Higher 2 (H2) passes in last year’s GCE A-Level examination, according to results released on Friday (Feb 27).<\/span><\/p>\n A total of 10,977 candidates sat for the 2025 GCE A-Level examination, the Ministry of Education (MOE) and Singapore Examinations and Assessment Board (SEAB) said in a joint press release.<\/span><\/p>\n Of these, 10,393 students, or 94.7 per cent, got at least three H2 passes, with a pass in General Paper.<\/span><\/p>\n This is the first cohort to sit for the examination under the <\/span>revised computation method<\/span> of the University Admission Score (UAS).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Under the revised system, the fourth content-based subject is included only if it improves the candidate\u2019s final UAS. The Project Work subject is excluded from this computation because only a pass is needed.<\/span><\/p>\n With these changes, the maximum UAS will become 70 points instead of 90. Should the fourth content-based subject be included, it would be rebased to 70 points.<\/span><\/p>\n These changes were introduced to give students greater agency in calibrating their learning load for better holistic development and student well-being, said MOE and SEAB.<\/p>\n “They are also meant to encourage students to pursue their learning interests, such as in choosing their fourth content-based subject and Project Work topic by interest, without being overly concerned about examination grades,” they said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
