How PSLE Scoring Works

•4 subjects: English, Mother Tongue, Maths, Science — each scored AL1 to AL8
•PSLE Aggregate = sum of all 4 AL scores (range: 4–32)
•Lower is better — AL1 is the highest achievement
•Secondary school posting uses the aggregate score alongside school choice and citizenship

FAQ

Is a lower PSLE score better?

Yes. AL1 is the highest achievement. A total score of 4 (all AL1) is the best possible result.

What replaced T-score?

MOE replaced the PSLE T-score with the Achievement Level (AL) system in 2021, reducing over-emphasis on minor mark differences.

What if my child takes a Higher Mother Tongue?

Higher Mother Tongue (HMT) is taken as an additional subject. The best result between MTL and HMT is used in the PSLE aggregate.
