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

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 and
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
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
2
• 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
NEW SYSTEM
• Students will be ranked taking into
account their performance in HCL.
• This posting advantage applies
before the tie-breakers for S1
posting.

• 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.

AIMS OF SCIENCE SYLLABUS
provide students with experiences which build on their
interest in and stimulate their curiosity about their
environment
provide students with basic scientific terms and concepts to
help them understand themselves and the world around
them
provide students with opportunities to develop skills, habits
of mind and attitudes necessary for scientific inquiry
prepare students towards using scientific knowledge and
methods in making personal decisions
help students appreciate how science influences people and
the environment
OVERVIEW OF SCIENCE SYLLABUS
Students’ participation at one level lays the foundation for their development in CCA at the
next level.
The tiered approach maps the developmental trajectory envisioned for students in CCA as they move through the education system.
TIER STRUCTURED APPROACH
Level Focus Rationale
Primary • Broad exposure to various CCA with opportunities for
specialisation
• Discovery of interests and talents
Secondary Specialisation in CCA with opportunities for exposure
Development and application of interests and talents
Pre-University Emphasis on CCA-based student-initiated pursuits, leadership
development and service to community
LEARNING OUTCOMES- CCA PROGRAMME
Passion
Leadership and teamwork
Friendship and belonging
Spirit of service to the community
Knowledge, skills and values related to their chosen CCA
Core values, social and emotional competencies and the emerging 21st
century competencies as articulated in the 21st Century Competencies
Framework
Physical Sports (PS) develop robustness, fair play and team spirit in pupils.
Visual and Performing Arts (VPA) instil in students a sense of graciousness
and an appreciation for the rich culture and heritage of a multi-racial
society.
Uniformed Group (UG) activities aim to make good citizens of students by
inculcating in them self-reliance, resilience, discipline and a spirit of service
to others.
Clubs and Societies (CS) allow students to explore and extend their
interests in wide ranging and specialised areas which may be knowledge-
based or skills-based. Also hone in information, communication and
technical skills as they strive to grow their mastery of the specialised areas.
