New PSLE 2022 Scoring System
Table of Contents
Comparison of NEW PSLE 2022 Scoring System and Old PSLE Scoring System
NEW PSLE 2022 System
From 2022 onwards, there is no longer a total score for PSLE. Instead the PSLE T-Score will be replaced with wider scoring bands, known as Achievement Levels (ALs).
Note: The new PSLE 2022 scoring system is similar to existing O’level and A’level band-based grading – which gives a singular grade to students who have achieved a certain range of score.
Under the new system, there is no difference in grade between a student who scores 93 vs another student who scores 95 because both students will be awarded the same Achievement Level grade “AL 1”.
A pupil’s total PSLE score will be the sum of the AL of each of the four subjects, with the best possible total score being 4.
See below for full details of the new Achievement Level Grade system.
Old PSLE Scoring System
Previously, PSLE adopted a T-score system based on four subjects. Maximum theoretical achievable T-score for each student is 300, and a student can achieve any score below 300 .
individual T-score is calculated based on overall student performance, standard deviation of cohort and other cohort factors. Under the new PSLE Scoring system, there is no such granular scoring. For example, the best students will all achieve the same maximum AL 4 Grade.
As announced by MOE – with the new scoring system, PSLE scores are now less finely differentiated – there are only 29 possible PSLE scores compared to more than 200 aggregate scores under the previous T-score system. This means that schools are now less differentiated by cut-off points.
The new 2022 PSLE scoring changes aim to achieve this by:
- Reducing fine differentiation at a young age
- Recognising children’s level of achievement, regardless of how their peers have done

PSLE 2022 Cut-off Point and Banding
Update 28th April 2022: The Ministry of Education (MOE) has released details of Secondary School PSLE Cut off Point.
Please use the official MOE search tool (click here) to find the respective PSLE cut-off points for individual secondary schools in Singapore.
Scoring for top schools: The entry scores released show that top schools such as Raffles Institution and Raffles Girls’ School (Secondary) have entry scores ranging from 4 to 6, while entry scores for other popular schools such as Anderson Secondary School range from 4 to 10, and 6 to 11 for Crescent Girls’ School.
Gan Eng Seng School has an indicative range of 7-15 for the express course, 21-23 for the normal academic course and 25-26 for the normal technical course. Singapore Chinese Girls’ School has an indicative range of 8-17 points for affiliated students and 5-9 for non-affiliated students entering its express O-Level course. The range for its Integrated Programme is 4-8.
Previous Update
The Ministry of Education (MOE) will release indicative cut-off point ranges for schools by mid-2022.
This will include indicative Achievement Level (AL) Cut-Off Point (COP) ranges for different school types and the Subject-Based Banding (SBB) eligibility criteria under the AL scoring system.
PSLE 2022 Grading and Achievement Levels
Ministry of Education had earlier announced the upcoming changes to the PSLE scoring and Secondary One (S1) posting systems, which will take effect from 2022 (see Annex A). Watch the above video from MOE for a brief overview of the changes to PSLE 2022 Grading.
Under the new PSLE 2022 grading and scoring system, students will receive AL scores instead of T-scores and be graded based on their individual performance in the subjects, regardless of how their peers have done.
Primary motivation
Shift in PSLE grading for 2022 is to reinforce efforts to shift away from an over-emphasis on academic results by reducing fine differentiation at a young age – providing students with more flexibility and space to nurture their strengths and interests in order to develop them to their fullest potential.
Grading System
Each PSLE subject will be scored using 8 Achievement Levels (ALs), with AL 1 being the best.
The 8 ALs are designed to reflect broadly different levels of achievement, and are set based on the learning objectives of the curriculum. Each AL is defined by the scoring band below:
AL Reference Raw Mark Range
1 ≥ 90
2 85-89
3 80-84
4 75-79
5 65-74
6 45-64
7 20-44
8 < 20
So with 4 PSLE subjects, total achievable score of a single student ranges from 4 (Best Grade) to 32 (Worst Grade).
PSLE 2022 Foundation Subject Grading
Students taking Foundation level subjects will be graded AL A to AL C. For the purpose
of S1 posting, Foundation levels AL A to AL C will be pegged to AL 6 to AL 8 of Standard level subjects respectively, as listed below, to derive a student’s overall PSLE Score.
Achievement Level -A will be equal to AL Score 6, Achievement Level B will be equal to AL Score 7 and Achievement Level C will equal to AL Score 8.

PSLE 2022: Eligibility for Express and Normal Subjects (Subject-based Banding)
Under the new PSLE system, students in the Normal course will continue to be eligible to take subjects at a more demanding level from Secondary 1, based on their AL scores for individual subjects. This recognises and develops students’ subject-specific strengths. Table 4 shows the SBB (Sec) eligibility criteria based on AL scoring.
PSLE subject grade | Option to take a subject at |
---|---|
AL 5 or better in a Standard level subject | Express level |
AL 6 or better in a Standard level subject or AL A in a Foundation level subject | N(A) level |
Table 4: SBB (Sec) eligibility criteria for students in the N(A) and N(T) courses.
8. Regardless of the academic course a student enters in secondary school, the student will be eligible to take English Language, Mathematics, Science and/or Mother Tongue Language at the Express level, if the student scores AL 5 or better in a Standard level subject at the PSLE. The student will be eligible to take the subject at the N(A) level, if the student scores AL 6 or better at the Standard level or AL A at the Foundation level in that subject at the PSLE.
9. Beyond the start of Secondary 1, as students progress in secondary school, they will continue to have more opportunities to take subjects at more demanding levels based on their performance in school, to further pursue their strengths and develop to their fullest potential.
PSLE 2022: Eligibility to take Higher Mother Tongue
Eligibility for Higher Mother Tongue Language in Secondary Schools
Under the new PSLE scoring system, students will be eligible to take Higher Mother Tongue Language (HMTL) in secondary school if they receive:
(a) An overall PSLE Score of 8 or better; or
(b) An overall PSLE Score of 9 to 14 (inclusive); and attain AL 1 / AL 2 in MTL or distinction/merit in HMTL.
For students who do not meet the above criteria, secondary schools will continue to have the flexibility to offer HMTL to students if they are assessed to have high ability and interest in MTL, and able to take HMTL without affecting their performance in other
subjects. This is similar to the existing practice.

PSLE 2020: Secondary School Choice
There are various types of secondary schools a student can apply for after completing their PSLE 2020 exams. Their options are available to the students based on their PSLE results.
Below is a brief overview of a few special options for exceptional students: SAP School, IB and IP Programme.
What is a SAP school?
Special Assistance Plan (SAP) caters to students who excel in both their Mother Tongue and the English language. However, currently the SAP schools only cater to the Mandarin mother tongue language. These are schools that may offer some subjects that will be taught in Chinese.
For students who took Higher Chinese at PSLE, they will be able to add 2 points to their aggregate score if they apply to SAP schools. This means that if X scores 240 and wishes to get into SAP School Y with a cut-off of 242, because X took higher Chinese, his aggregate score will be 242 if he applied to school Y.
There are a total of 26 SAP schools in Singapore.
What is IB?
International Baccalaureate (IB) is a different educational route from the conventional GCE O/A Levels. The examination methods are different but they are recognised globally as well. The international schools in Singapore usually adopt the IB education programme. There are a few local schools who adopt this programme as well.
You can find out more about IB on this website.
What is an IP Programme?
Integrated Programme (IP) is a programme where the students will not take GCE O levels. It will be a 6-year education from secondary school to junior college, culminating with the GCE A-level exams. Therefore the programme is also known as the “choo-train”, where students who get into this programme will be automatically secured a spot in the respective JCs, without having to go through another examination.
There are 16 schools offering the IP programme in Singapore.
Good luck to all Primary 6 students taking the PSLE exams this year!
