Percentage of PSLE students who scored A*- C in Standard Science

Description

Ministry of Education CSV showing the percentage of Singapore PSLE candidates who achieved grades A* to C in Standard Science, by race, from 1997 through 2020. This is the historical T-score-era series and ends before the Achievement Level system introduced for the 2021 PSLE. Education researchers can compare broad attainment trends across reported racial groups, but should not combine these percentages directly with results under the newer AL 1–8 framework.

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, a new series of statistics was started from 2021 PSLE. The T-score series before 2021 PSLE are available on Data.gov.sg.
