SP grade to grade point

Singapore Polytechnic's Grading System, in its Student Handbook. This is an estimate, not an official result.

A-Level grade to UAS points

The 70-point UAS used from 2026, as Anderson Serangoon JC's page gives it.

Every table on this page, with its source.

Each table in this grading scale comes from a page GradeCat opened on 4 November 2026, and a second check that day confirmed it.

From SP grade points to a GPA

Your GPA weights each module's grade point by its credit units: Σ(credit units × grade point) ÷ Σ credit units, failed modules included. GradeCat's research example: 4 CU at A, 3 at B+, 4 at C and 2 at D- give 35.5 ÷ 13 = 2.73 to 2 decimals. The Poly GPA Calculator works out your semester GPA and cGPA.

From A-Level points to a UAS

Your best three H2 content subjects and General Paper make a base out of 70. H1 Mother Tongue and a fourth content subject count only if they raise the score, after the total is brought back to 70. GradeCat's research example: H2 grades A, B and C with GP at B give 61.25, and H1 MTL at A raises it to 62.34. The A-Level UAS Calculator tries every way of counting your grades.

Not verified yet

  • The marks behind SP's grades below A. GradeCat's research recorded them, but the second check restated only DIST, for over 80, and A, for 80 and above.
  • Grade points at NYP, Republic, Ngee Ann and Temasek Polytechnics. NYP's Assessment Regulations give a non-graded pass (NGP) 1.0 grade point, which needs another check.
  • University grades, such as NUS and NTU. NUS's honours bands were found only in a 2014 post, and NTU's pages returned errors.
  • O-Level grade points. MOE's pages on polytechnic admission and JC and MI posting were opened, but they do not say how each grade becomes points.
  • How a UAS is rounded, and the rules for students who sat the A-Levels before 2025.
