Conversion matrix for DPP GCE N(A)-level + Prelim O-level or GCE O level results ‘O’ Level Grade Aggregate Points for ITE A1, A2, B3 1 B4, C5, C6 2 D7, E8 3 GCE O Levels More Demanding – questions ask for more than just knowledge of facts but application of knowledge An indication is the Grade Equivalence Note: O level grade of F9 and N(A) grade of 6 will not be used to determine DPP eligibility

Conversion matrix for PFP GCE N(A)-level + Prelim O-level or GCE O level results ‘O’ Level Grade Aggregate Points for PFP A1 – B3 1 B4 – C6 2 D7 3 Note: ‘O’ Level grades of E8 and F9 will not be considered in both aggregate score computation as well as minimum entry requirements.

Computation of ELMAB3 ELMAB3 = 8+1 = 9 For example Subject GCE N level Grade Prelim ‘O’ Level Grade English 2 - Mathematics B3 = 1 Science Combined Humanities Mother Tongue ELMAB3 = 8+1 = 9

Can CCA points be used to compute ELMAB3? You must achieve the minimum criteria of ELMAB3 ≤ 19 before CCA bonus points can be factored into ELMAB3 aggregate for selection and posting. For example CCA grade A1-A2: 2 points CCA grade B3-C6: 1 point Subject Grade English 2 Mathematics Science Combined Humanities Mother Tongue CCA A1 Raw ELMAB3 = 10 Net ELMAB3 = 10-2 = 8
