CHANGES TO THE PSLE SCORING & S1 POSTING
© MINISTRY OF EDUCATION, COMMUNICATION AND ENGAGEMENT GROUP, 2016
THE CHANGES TO THE PSLE SCORING ARE MEANT TO REDUCE AN OVEREMPHASIS
ON ACADEMIC RESULTS
By reducing fine differentiation at a young age
By recognising a student’s level of achievement, regardless of how his
peers have done
HOW PSLE SCORING WORKS
• The changes will be implemented
for the 2021 PSLE cohort
NEW SYSTEM
• There will be 8 Achievement Levels (ALs), with AL1 being the best.
• A student’s AL for each subject will reflect his level of achievement, rather than how he has performed relative to his peers.
STUDENTS WITH SIMILAR SCORES IN EACH SUBJECT WILL BE GROUPED INTO THE SAME ACHIEVEMENT LEVEL AL

NEW SYSTEM
• The PSLE Score replaces the T-score Aggregate.
• The PSLE Score ranges from 4 to 32, with 4 being the best.
• Compared to the T-score Aggregate, students are less finely differentiated.
4 SUBJECT ALs WILL BE ADDED TO FORM THE PSLE SCORE

NEW SYSTEM
• Students will continue to be placed in the appropriate Secondary School courses –
• Express, Normal Academic, Normal Technical
• From 2024, Secondary 1 students* will be able to offer subjects at three levels: G1/G2/G3 (G stands for General), mapped from today’s N(T), N(A) and Express standards respectively. Students can take a range of G1/G2/G3 subjects based on their abilities
STUDENTS WILL BE STREAMED BY THEIR PSLE SCORE

HOW S1 POSTING WORKS
NEW SYSTEM
The PSLE Score will be the first criterion for posting.
If 2 students with the same PSLE Score vie for a place in a school, the following tie-breakers will be used.
1. CITIZENSHIP(Singapore Citizens, Permanent Residents,
then International Students)
2. CHOICE ORDER OF SCHOOLS(NEW)
3. COMPUTERISED BALLOTING
HOW POSTING WILL WORK
14
NEW SYSTEM
• There are 3 Singaporean students have
chosen School F as one of their choices,
but there are only 2 places left in the
school.

• Bala and Colin have the same PSLE Score.
• To decide who is allocated the remaining space,
tie-breakers will be used between Bala and Colin.
• Bala placed School F as a higher choice compared
to Colin, so Bala will be allocated the remaining
place in School F.
CHOICE ORDER IN THE NEW SYSTEM

• Azlina and Colin were not
successfully posted to schools
higher in their choices Places are
allocated based on PSLE Scores
first, so Azlina is allocated a place
(similar to today).
USE OF HCL FOR ADMISSION INTO SAP SCHOOLS
CURRENT SYSTEM
STUDENTS’ HCL GRADES GIVE POSTING ADVANTAGE FOR SAP SCHOOLS
Currently, for admission to SAP schools,
students are awarded bonus T-score points
based on their HCL grade:
3 points for Distinction
2 points for Merit
1 point for Pass
18
NEW SYSTEM
• Students will be ranked taking into
account their performance in HCL.
• This posting advantage applies
before the tie-breakers for S1
posting.
THIS HCL POSTING ADVANTAGE FOR ENTRY TO SAP SCHOOLS WILL CONTINUE

• Academic merit remains the first criterion
for secondary school posting.
• Achievement Levels will reflect student’s
level of achievement, regardless of how his
peers have done.
• PSLE Scores replace T-score Aggregates,
reducing fine differentiation.
• Choice order is a new tie-breaker to
recognise the different considerations
that students and parents have in
making school choices.
REDUCE OVER-EMPHASIS ON ACADEMIC RESULTS
IN SUMMARY
SUBJECT BASED BANDING ( PRIMARY 4 )
CATERING TO THE STUDENT’S ABILITIES
Every child is unique, and has different aptitudes,
capabilities and talents.
Subject-based Banding was introduced as a
refinement to the streaming process to help
each child realise his potential, based on his
interests and strengths, so that he can be better
prepared for life.
WHAT IS SUBJECT-BASED BANDING
provides greater flexibility for a student depending on
his strengths
offering a combination of standard and foundation
subjects
Allows the student to focus on and stretch his potential
in the subjects that he is strong in while building up the
fundamentals in the subjects that he needs more
support in.
HOW DOES SUBJECT-BASED BANDING WORK
WHAT ARE SOME CHOICES AVAILABLE?
If a child (for P4 exam) The child may be recommended to take
Passes all 4 subjects and performs
very well in Mother Tongue
Language4 standard subjects + Higher Mother Tongue
Language
Passes all 4 subjects4 standard subjects
Passes 3 subjects 4 standard subjects
Passes 2 subjects or less
4 standard subjects; or
3 standard subjects + 1 other foundation
subject; or
2 standard subjects + 2 other foundation subjects; or
1 standard subject + 3 other foundation
subjects; or
4 foundation subjects
AT THE END OF PRI 4
School will help recommend subject combinations, based
on the student’s needs and abilities.
If parents have any questions on Subject-based Banding,
they should approach school for help.
