PSLE scoring: AL1 to AL8

Since 2021 every PSLE Standard subject (English, Mathematics, Science, Mother Tongue) is reported as an Achievement Level, and the four add up to the PSLE Score. MOE: the PSLE scoring system.

• MOE has removed mid-year examinations at every primary and secondary level, so the end-of-year examination and the weighted assessments during the year carry the result. (MOE: removal of mid-year examinations)
• In P5 and P6 a pupil can take a mix of Standard and Foundation subjects (Subject-Based Banding). The Standard subjects are English, Mother Tongue, Mathematics and Science. (MOE: Subject-Based Banding in primary school)
• At the PSLE each Standard subject is scored as an Achievement Level from AL1 (90% and above) to AL8 (below 20%); the PSLE Score adds the four ALs, so it runs from 4 (best) to 32. (MOE: the PSLE scoring system)
• Foundation grades A, B and C count as AL6, AL7 and AL8 when the PSLE Score is worked out. (MOE: PSLE Score Calculator)
