subject code 8807. A key difference in the new syllabus is that examiners require candidates to present conviction, confidence and be convincing in their essays, departing from set-piece essays and memorising core content. In early 2023, it is announced by MOE that GP will be compulsory for all JC and MI (Millennia Institute) students, starting with the 2024 intake. KI will be continued to offer, but not as a substitute of GP. In 2022 A-level exams, about 100 Singapore students took KI instead of GP. Subject combination Subjects at H1 level constitutes one academic unit, subjects at H2 level constitutes two academic units, with the exception of subjects taken at H3 level. Students are invariably required to sit for either H1 General Paper or H2 Knowledge and Inquiry, and may opt to elect any combination and number of H1 and H2 subjects, up to a maximum of twelve academic units (AUs). A maximum of two H3 subjects can be applied. Subject examination of the H3 level subjects were previously offered as "Special papers" (or "S-Papers") under the Cambridge GCE Advanced Level before 2006. Under the Ministry of Education's regulations, students sitting for the A-Level in a junior college are required to take at least one subject that is from a contrasting discipline. They are also required to fulfil additional academic requirements of Singapore's education system, such as having to take Project Work and a Mother Tongue Language. Grading system H1 and H2 subjects are graded alphabetically in the following manner. Notes: Candidates who pass at least one subject at H1 or H2 level will receive a Singapore-Cambridge General Certificate of Education (Advanced Level). Grade 'S' denotes a sub-pass. Grades 'S' and 'Ungraded' indicate that the candidate has failed to obtain a pass in the particular subject. These two grades do not appear on the certificate but will be shown on the result slip. Subject(s) taken by the candidate under special arrangements will be annotated in the certificate. H3 subjects are graded as either Distinction, Merit, Pass or Ungraded. University Admission Score (UAS) University Admission Score (UAS) is used in Singapore locally to determine where the student goes to university, especially which college and course to be enrolled in. To calculate the UAS, students first need to convert their A-level grades to rank points accordingly, and the UAS is the sum of all rank points. The maximum UAS currently is 90
