Percentage of PSLE Students who Scored AL 1-6, By Subject
MOE Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) statistics under Singapore’s Achievement Level scoring begin in 2021 in this collection. Separate CSV files report Percentage of PSLE Students who Scored AL 1-6 in Standard English Language, Mathematics, Mother Tongue Language, and Science. Education policymakers can analyse subject-specific AL bands without comparing them to pre-2021 T-score series, as MOE notes explicitly. Download all four datasets for a rounded view of standard-level PSLE performance.
Official description
The first year that students sat for the PSLE under the new Achievement Level (AL) scoring system was in 2021. Under the new system, there are eight ALs, AL 1-8. The new AL scoring differs from the T-score system and results from the two systems are not comparable. As such, we have started a new series of statistics from 2021 PSLE. The T-score series before 2021 PSLE are available on Data.gov.sg.
Ministry of Education CSV from 2021 through 2024 on the percentage of PSLE students scoring Achievement Levels 1–6 in Standard Science, reported by year and race. Metadata explains the 2021 switch from T-scores to AL bands, starting a non-comparable new series. Education analysts benchmark science attainment under the new scoring system in Singapore.
Ministry of Education annual percentages of PSLE students who scored Achievement Levels 1–6 in Standard Mother Tongue Language by race from 2021 through 2024, in CSV. Under the new AL scoring system, figures are not comparable to pre-2021 T-score era data. Education researchers monitor mother-tongue attainment under the revised PSLE framework.
Ministry of Education annual percentages of PSLE students scoring Achievement Levels 1–6 in Standard Mathematics from 2021 through 2023, by race. The series starts with the 2021 AL scoring reform and is not comparable to pre-2021 T-score statistics also published on Data.gov.sg.
Ministry of Education annual percentages from 2021 through 2024 of PSLE students scoring Achievement Levels 1–6 in Standard English Language, broken down by race, under the post-2021 AL scoring system that is not comparable to the earlier T-score series. Education planners monitor foundational English attainment trends in Singapore primary schools.
