Understanding PSLE
If you are reading this, that means you have already started your research to prepare your child for the Primary School Leaving Examination, popularly known as PSLE. Admittedly, it is an examination that makes the entire Singaporean household sit up and take notice as the PSLE is the first significant landmark in a Primary 6 student’s education journey. It’s a compulsory national examination that marks the end of the Singapore Primary School program and the beginning of Secondary School.
Under the new PSLE scoring system, each subject will be scored using scoring bands known as Achievement Levels (ALs), which range from AL1 to AL8. The total score is then derived from the sum of the four PSLE subjects, which range from 4 to 32. The Singapore Examinations and Assessment Board and the Ministry of Education Singapore are the joint examining authorities for the PSLE.
Throughout Primary School, which lasts for 6 years from Primary 1 (age 7) to Primary 6 (age 12), teachers and parents work towards preparing the child for the PSLE. So, it is natural that you should know everything there is to know about the PSLE schedule and examination, starting with the subjects, syllabus, new scoring system, and exam dates.
