What PSLE score do you need for Posting Group 3 (formerly Express)?
Under Full Subject-Based Banding, a PSLE Score of 4 to 20 places a student in Posting Group 3, the track that maps to the former Express stream. A score of 21 to 24 maps to Posting Group 2 (former Normal Academic), and 25 to 30 maps to Posting Group 1 (former Normal Technical).
Posting Groups, not streams
From the 2024 Secondary 1 cohort, MOE replaced Express / Normal (Academic) / Normal (Technical) streaming with Full Subject-Based Banding. Students are placed into Posting Group 1, 2 or 3, but can still take individual subjects at a more demanding level where they are strong.
