Did you know that …

that you DON’T have to pass GP in order to be admitted to NUS? However, a low score in GP will affect your total academic score for the purpose of admission. The following is taken from their website:

New Singapore-Cambridge ‘A’ Level Curriculum (H1/H2/H3 Subjects)

Applicants (regardless of nationality) presenting the Singapore-Cambridge GCE A-Levels (H1/H2/H3 curriculum) are required to meet the following minimum academic requirements:

    1. Pass in at least two subjects at H2 Level and offer either General Paper (GP) or Knowledge & Inquiry (KI) in the same sitting.
    2. Meet the Mother Tongue Language (MTL) requirement for admission by having one of the following:
      1. minimum of D7 for the higher MTL paper taken at the ‘O’ Level examination.
      2. minimum of ‘S’ grade for the H1 MTL paper or General Studies in Chinese.
      3. minimum of ‘S’ grade for the H2 MTLL paper taken at the ‘A’ Level examination.
      4. pass in the MTL ‘B’ Syllabus paper at the ‘A’ Level examination.
      If you have been exempted from MTL, the MOE-approved subject-in-lieu will be considered as your MTL subject.
