What is Hwa Chong Institution (Secondary)’s cut-off point?
In the 2025 S1 posting exercise (for Sec 1 in 2026), Hwa Chong Institution (Secondary)’s cut-off point was 6 (the last student in had a Merit in Higher Chinese) for Integrated Programme. The cut-off point is the PSLE Score of the last student posted there: the lower the score, the better.
What PSLE score do I need for Hwa Chong Institution (Secondary)?
In 2025, a score of 6 or better in Integrated Programme got a place; the best score posted there was 4(D). This year’s cut-off point moves with this year’s cohort and choices, usually by a point or so, and at the cut-off itself tie-breakers decide: citizenship, then the order the school was chosen in, then a computerised ballot. Add up your child’s PSLE Score to see every school it reaches.
Is Hwa Chong Institution (Secondary) a SAP school?
Yes: it’s a Special Assistance Plan school, so it takes only students who took Chinese or Higher Chinese at PSLE, and between students with the same score of 14 or better, the one with the better Higher Chinese grade goes first. A grade after a cut-off point, as in 8(M), is the last student’s Higher Chinese grade where it decided the last place.
