IP School Cut-Off Points 2026: How to Read MOE Score Ranges
How to check Integrated Programme PSLE score ranges in MOE SchoolFinder, understand cut-off points and tie-breakers, and shortlist without treating a previous cohort's result as...
Q: Where are IP school cut-off points published?
A: Use MOE SchoolFinder. MOE presents the previous S1 Posting cohort's first-to-last admitted scores as a PSLE score range. The last admitted score is commonly called the cut-off point, or COP.
Current data: SchoolFinder displayed "PSLE score range of 2025" when checked on 23 August 2026. The complete current table separates the 23 published IP records from SEC records and preserves affiliated, non-affiliated and non-posted categories.
Last reviewed: 23 August 2026 against MOE's current PSLE score-range, S1 Posting, SchoolFinder, and Integrated Programme pages.
What a published range means
MOE says a SchoolFinder PSLE score range contains the scores of the first and last student admitted through the previous year's S1 Posting exercise. The last admitted score is the COP for that school and entry option in that completed exercise.
It is not a pre-announced threshold for the next cohort. The next COP is determined only after posting, based on that cohort's results, choices, and available places. MOE warns that COPs may move by a few points from year to year.
Why meeting last year's COP is not a guarantee
MOE applies academic merit first. When students with the same PSLE score compete for the final places, the current posting rules apply tie-breakers in this order:
- citizenship status, with Singapore Citizens ahead of Permanent Residents and International Students;
- the order in which the school was listed; and
- computerised balloting when score, citizenship, and choice order are the same.
A child can therefore match a previous or eventual COP and still not receive the place.
How to check an IP option
- Open MOE SchoolFinder or the generated current SEC and IP table.
- Select the secondary-school journey and search for the school.
- Confirm that you are reading the Integrated Programme entry rather than an SEC entry at a dual-track school.
- Record the cohort year shown beside the score range.
- Check the school's programme, language, subject, DSA, and location information separately.
Do not copy a range from an undated table or assume that the current calendar year and the score-range cohort year are the same. SchoolFinder is the live owner.
