University Admission Score (UAS) Calculator

A-Level rank points

Each grade converts to rank points — H2 subjects are worth up to 20, H1 subjects and General Paper up to 10.

The 70-point structure — best 3 H2 content subjects plus General Paper — is set out in NUS: FAQs on the revised UAS computation. That document does not publish the per-grade rank points, and no autonomous university, MOE or SEAB publishes them in machine-readable form; the values above are cross-checked against school-published copies of the conversion table.

How the UAS works

The revised 70-point UAS (for the 2025 A-Level cohort onward) sums the rank points of your best three H2 content subjects (up to 20 each) and H1 General Paper (up to 10). From the 2025 A-Level cohort, H2 Knowledge & Inquiry counts as an H2 content subject (it is no longer taken in lieu of General Paper). Your fourth H1/H2 content subject, and your Mother Tongue result — H1 Mother Tongue, or at NUS an O-Level Higher Mother Tongue grade — are included by the universities only if they improve your score, with the total rebased to 70. Project Work is required as a pass but is no longer scored. UAS is a competitive ranking score, not a fixed pass mark.

Common questions

How is the University Admission Score (UAS) calculated?

On the revised 70-point system (AY2026 admissions onward), your UAS is the rank points of your best 3 H2 content subjects (up to 20 points each, so up to 60) plus H1 General Paper (up to 10) — a maximum of 70. A higher score is better. You must still offer a fourth content-based subject, at least one of which is a contrasting subject from outside your specialisation, but it counts only if it improves the score; and a pass in Project Work is required but no longer scored.

What UAS do I need to get into university?

There is no single national cut-off. Each university course publishes an Indicative Grade Profile (IGP) — roughly the score of the lowest-admitted student the previous year — and these vary by programme, university and year. Use your UAS to compare against the IGPs of courses you are considering, and treat them as a guide, not a guarantee.

What is a good UAS score?

The closer to 70 the better. As a rough guide, the most competitive courses (such as Medicine, Law and Computer Science at NUS/NTU) have IGPs at or very near the maximum, while many courses admit across a wider band. Strong grades in your three H2 subjects matter most because each contributes up to 20 points.

How do the old 90-point and new 70-point UAS differ?

The legacy 90-point UAS counted 3 H2 subjects + 1 H1 subject + General Paper + Project Work (each up to 10 or 20). The revised 70-point UAS (for the 2025 A-Level cohort onward) counts the best 3 H2 + General Paper, makes Project Work pass/fail, and adds the 4th content subject or H1 Mother Tongue only if it raises the score. This calculator uses the revised 70-point base.
