PSLE Achievement Level Scoring Bands
Fixed Achievement Level raw-mark bands for Standard and Foundation PSLE subjects since 2021, with the 4-to-32 aggregate range and Foundation-to-Standard posting mappings kept explicit.
PSLE Achievement Level Scoring Bands
These bands do not determine a secondary school posting outcome by themselves. Apply the four-subject aggregate, citizenship tie-breaks, school choices, and the Posting Group / subject-level rules that apply for the cohort year.
Population bases
| Term | Meaning in this dataset | Do not confuse with |
|---|---|---|
| Standard-subject candidate | Primary 6 student graded on the Standard AL1–AL8 scale for English, Mother Tongue, Mathematics, and/or Science | Foundation-subject grading or Foundation-to-Standard posting equivalents |
| Foundation-subject candidate | Student graded on Foundation A/B/C for a subject, then mapped to Standard AL6–AL8 for S1 posting | Standard AL bands on the result slip |
| PSLE Score (aggregate) | Sum of four subject ALs (each 1–8) | A single subject band; a posting-group placement |

Standard-subject Achievement Levels (from PSLE 2021)
| Achievement Level | Raw mark range |
|---|---|
| AL1 | ≥ 90 |
| AL2 | 85–89 |
| AL3 | 80–84 |
| AL4 | 75–79 |
| AL5 | 65–74 |
| AL6 | 45–64 |
| AL7 | 20–44 |
| AL8 | < 20 |
The PSLE Score is the sum of the four subject ALs and therefore ranges from 4 (best) to 32. MOE describes the system as producing 29 possible PSLE Scores. Source: MOE PSLE scoring system, accessed 9 Aug 2026.
Foundation-subject mapping for S1 posting
| Foundation AL on result slip | Foundation raw mark range | Equivalent Standard AL for posting |
|---|---|---|
| A | 75–100 | 6 |
| B | 30–74 | 7 |
| C | < 30 | 8 |
