1 | A simple way to read “best - cut-off” ranges

If you see a band like best - cut-off, the right-hand number is what most people call the “cut-off point”.

You can use the band to:

• sanity-check whether a school is a Safe / Target / Reach choice for your net L1R5
• avoid building a six-choice list that is all “targets” (which is risky in a volatile year)

2 | How to shortlist CJC using our tool (3 steps)

1. Choose Track (JC Arts vs JC Science) and type your net score: https://eclatinstitute.sg/jae-cut-off-points#jae-cop-table
2. Search “CJC” and pin the row if it fits your mix.
3. Use Copy link after pinning to share your exact shortlist + filters.
