What is grade mapping?
Grade mapping is currently in place and is only used to compute aggregate scores using grades of subjects taken at more demanding levels for purposes of post-secondary progression, e.g. polytechnic and ITE admissions:
a. ELMAB3: G3 subjects will be mapped to G2 to compute aggregate score for admission to Year 2 of Higher Nitec (HN) and Polytechnic Foundation Programme (PFP); and
b. ELR2B2: From the 2028 intake, one G2 subject can be counted as one of the [B] subjects. Students who offer both [B] subjects at G3 will have their grade for the [B] subject with a lower grade mapped from G3 to G2 for admission to Polytechnic Year 1.
Grade for G3 subject | Mapped to G2 |
A1 – B3 | 1 |
B4 – C6 | 2 |
D7 | 3 |
E8 | 4 |
9 | 5 |
| 6 |
Grade for G2 subject | Mapped to G1 |
1 - 3 | A |
4 | B |
5 | C |
6 | D |
| E |
