PSLE Results 2025: Your Essential Guide to Navigating the Secondary 1 Posting Exercise

The release of the 2025 Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) results marks the beginning of a crucial decision making period for parents. Geniebook recognises this period is filled with significant anxiety and complex decision making for parents. We have structured the following guide by integrating the official MOE timeline with our strategic advice.

Official S1 Posting Timeline and Key Deadlines

The Ministry of Education has set a strict schedule for the transition to secondary school. Adhering to these dates is essential for a smooth posting process.

• Results Collection: The results of the 2025 PSLE will be released on 25 November 2025 at 11:00 am. Results must be collected from the student's respective primary school. School candidates unable to collect results may appoint a proxy to do so on their behalf by 27 November 2025.
• S1 Options Submission Window: This is your critical decision period. The online S1 Portal opens at 11:30 am on 25 November 2025 and closes sharply at 4:30 pm on 1 December 2025. Parents must ensure their choices are submitted within this timeframe.
• Posting Results Release: S1 Posting Results will be released on 18th or 19th December 2025, accessible via the S1 Portal SMS or the student's primary school. For more information, visit the MOE's S1 Posting website.

  Strategic Guidance on Choosing Secondary Schools

  The MOE encourages parents to choose schools holistically—looking at school culture, distinctive programmes and Co-curricular Activities. However, making that choice confidently requires objective academic data.

• Full Subject Based Banding (FSBB): The flexibility of Full Subject Based Banding (FSBB) is a huge opportunity. Students can now take subjects at G1, G2 or G3 levels based on their strengths. This places a burden on parents to accurately gauge their child's academic aptitude beyond a single PSLE score to ensure they are placed in the most appropriate subject level.
• COP Strategy: Parents must use Cut Off Points (COPs) strategically. To increase the chances of securing a place in one of the chosen schools, parents are encouraged to include at least two to three schools within their six choices with previous year's COPs that are less stringent than their child's PSLE score.
• Alternative Pathways: Crest Secondary School (CSS) and Spectra Secondary School (SSS) offer alternative pathways focused on hands-on learning for eligible students. Students who apply directly must still submit the standard S1 Option Form as a contingency.
