Three students in school uniforms work through open books at a classroom table, with textbooks and stationery nearby and study notes on the whiteboard behind them.

Where Can I Check PG1, PG2, PG3 and G1, G2, G3? | Official PSLE-to-Secondary Guidance

Did you know? PG1, PG2 and PG3 are shorthand for Posting Groups 1, 2 and 3; G1, G2 and G3 describe subject levels. Start with MOE’s Posting Groups page when your question concerns Secondary 1 placement.

If you want to know the level at which a student can study a subject, use MOE’s Full Subject-Based Banding guidance and the school’s information for that student. A Posting Group guides initial placement and subject levels; it is not a complete subject-by-subject learning profile.

If you are looking for an exam syllabus, move to SEAB’s SEC pages and choose the actual subject level and examination year. Keep three labels separate in your notes: Posting Group, subject level and qualification. That is the quickest way to reach the right explanation.

Ask one question at a time

“Is my child G2?” can hide several different questions. Do you mean the Posting Group used for admission, the level of Mathematics, the level of English, or the qualifications required for a later course? Rewrite the question using the exact noun.

For example: “Where can I check my child’s initial English subject level?” directs you towards MOE guidance and school confirmation. “Where is the G2 English examination syllabus?” directs you towards SEAB.

Build a subject-by-subject record

Create a simple record with each subject, its confirmed level, the school’s current topic and the source you used. Leave unconfirmed items marked as questions. This makes differences between subjects visible.

The record helps a student understand what to prepare for without making a placement label into an identity. Ask the school how relevant decisions and reviews are communicated, rather than assuming an automatic change based on one test score.

Use the existing explanations for depth

Once the label is clear, read the detailed pathway explanation or subject guide. It is easier to understand the longer article when you know whether your task is placement, learning or examination preparation.

For learning support, bring actual work and teacher feedback into the discussion. Knowing the level tells you which framework to use; seeing the student’s work tells you which next step may help.

Check the correct source for the next transition

The first SEC examination is in 2027. A student sitting an earlier examination needs that examination’s documents; a later intake also needs the appropriate post-secondary admissions rules.

Before applying to a course, follow the current MOE or institution guidance for that intake. A PSLE Posting Group alone does not answer a later admissions question.

Take one question further

The same learning habit can travel across subjects, while each subject keeps its own methods. These routes help you notice a difficulty, understand one part of it, and return to something you can do.

A word is familiar, but using it is difficult.

Move from recognising a word to retrieving it in a new context. Understand vocabulary plateaus.

Try it without the guide: Choose one word you already know. Close the guide and use it in a new sentence. Explain why it fits; try another context tomorrow.

A piece of writing has ideas, but the reader loses the thread.

Make the order of events and the links between sentences clear. Explore composition writing.

Try it without the guide: Choose one short paragraph. Read the relevant explanation, close it, and revise the paragraph. Ask someone to tell you what happened and why.

The Mathematics seems familiar, but marks still disappear.

Find the first point where the working stops being reliable. Find Secondary 4 A-Math mark leakage.

Try it without the guide: For a Secondary 4 A-Math question you have attempted, locate the first uncertain line. Repair that step, then try a comparable question without the worked answer.

A Science fact is remembered, but the explanation is incomplete.

Connect the evidence to a scientific idea and the resulting change. Follow the Primary Science learning route.

Try it without the guide: Choose a familiar Primary Science example. Explain the evidence, the idea and the result without notes. Then change one condition and explain your prediction.

Two accounts of the world seem to disagree.

Check the question, source, date and evidence before combining claims. Explore the World Knowledge research library.

Try it without the guide: Take one claim. Find the source best placed to support it, note its date, and state what remains uncertain. Return to your original question.

There is plenty of help, but independence is hard to see.

Check what the learner can understand and do after support is removed. Understand how education works.

Try it without the guide: Choose one small task the child has practised. Agree on a calm, brief attempt without prompts. Use what happens to choose one next step, then stop.
