Status: Official links checked 2026-01-29. Always verify dates and requirements on MOE / SAJC before submitting choices or appeals.

The core idea is simple: Shortlist SAJC using net L1R5, not raw score.

Use it as a working check: Check net score, science or arts track, subject combinations, official JAE page, open house, cut-off history, commute, CCA fit, and backup choices.

Then go one layer deeper: A good JAE list treats SAJC as one option inside a balanced six-choice plan, not a single all-or-nothing target.
