- 3 H2 subjects and H1 GP form the core 70 points.
- The 4th content subject and MTL are counted at H1 weight and only included if they raise your final score.
The New 70-point A Levels Rank Point System (AY2026 onwards)
If you are in JC now, your A Level results are no longer just “grades”, they translate into JC Rank Points (RP) or University Admission Score (UAS) out of 70 rank points. This is the number local universities will use for admissions from AY2026 onwards.
Parents and students who understand this early can plan subject combinations, set realistic course targets, and apply strategically for scholarships.
This guide simplifies the new 70 point A Level rank point system, points you to official university Indicative Grade Profiles (IGPs), and scholarships.
How to Calculate Your JC Rank Points?
From admissions AY2026 onwards, universities will compute a maximum of 70 rank points based on:
- Your best 3 H2 content subjects
- H1 General Paper (GP)
This alone can give you the full 70 points if you score straight As:
- 3 H2 at A: 20 + 20 + 20 = 60
- H1 GP at A: 10
- Total: 70 rank points
Project Work (PW) is now graded Pass / Fail, and no longer gives rank points for university admission.
Most JC students still take a 4th content subject and H1 MTL. These are optional in the UAS computation and will be counted only if they improve your final score.
The official formulas used by schools and universities look like this
- Base case
- Use 3 H2 + H1 GP only, maximum 70 points
- Include either 4th subject or MTL
RP = (3H2 + H1 GP + extra H1/H2 or MTL) / 80 x 70 - Include both 4th subject AND MTL
RP = (3H2 + H1 GP + extra H1/H2 + MTL) / 90 x 70
The university or calculator will compute all valid options and use the highest score.
This also means you can choose your 4th subject more by interest and strength, not fear, since a weaker grade can be left out of UAS.

Grade & Rank Point Conversion Table
| Grade | H2 RP (max 20) | H1 RP (max 10) |
|---|---|---|
| A | 20 | 10 |
| B | 17.5 | 8.75 |
| C | 15 | 7.5 |
| D | 12.5 | 6.25 |
| E | 10 | 5 |
| S | 5 | 2.5 |
| U | 0 | 0 |
How to use your rank points with university IGPs
Once you have gotten your UAS out of 70 from our JC Rank Point calculator, use the Indicative Grade Profiles (IGPs) to see whether each course is a safety, realistic, or stretch choice. IGPs show the 10th and 90th percentile of A Level students who were actually offered places in the previous intake, based on their 3 H2 and 1 H1 grades.
If your UAS is around or above last year’s 10th percentile for a course, that course is usually realistic. If you are far below, treat it as a stretch and build in safer options.

Scholarship Resources
Strong rank points open doors not just to courses, but to scholarships.
- Public Service Commission (PSC) scholarships for students who want a career in the public service or uniformed services.
- University scholarship pages for NUS, SMU, SIT, SUSS and SUTD.
- Independent portals such as
- BrightSparks, which lists scholarships from ministries, stat boards and universities in one place.
- Scholarship Guide, which highlights marquee scholarships and explains bond terms and conditions.
We suggest that you use your UAS and IGPs to narrow down realistic courses. From that course shortlist, identify scholarships whose criteria you meet. Then, prepare a focused portfolio and cover letter instead of spraying applications everywhere.
Ready to turn your rank points into real options with PMC?
Your A Level rank points do not appear overnight. They are built across every topic test, promo and block test, long before the A levels.
If your child is serious about securing a strong UAS, the plan is simple:
- Build strong fundamentals and close gaps early in J1, not in the final scramble of J2
- Learn how to study with proven exam strategies and not blind drilling
At PMC, our JC Physics, Maths and Chemistry programmes are designed around exactly this reality.
We focus on the subjects that decide your child’s rank points, with structured notes, targeted exam questions and tutors who track progress across the year.
