The PSLE Score is the sum of your child's four subject Achievement Levels: English, Mathematics, Science and Mother Tongue, each graded AL1 to AL8. So the total ranges from 4 (the strongest) to 32. This free calculator adds the four ALs for you and explains, calmly and factually, what the total means.

Your total PSLE Score
For context only. A lower total is stronger, and the range is 4 to 32. Posting to a secondary school also depends on each student's school choice order and that year's cut-off points, which vary from year to year. We do not show cut-off points for specific schools here.

Each of the four subjects, English, Mathematics, Science and Mother Tongue, is given an Achievement Level from AL1 to AL8. The PSLE Score is simply the sum of these four Achievement Levels, so it ranges from 4 to 32. A lower total means stronger subject grades overall.
Within the AL system a lower total is stronger, since the score ranges from 4 to 32. There is no single fixed standard for what counts as good, because posting to a secondary school depends on each student's school choice order and that year's cut-off points, which vary from year to year.
A lower PSLE Score gives a student more options, but it does not by itself decide the school. Posting also depends on the order of school choices and that year's cut-off points, which change from year to year. We do not publish cut-off points for specific schools here.
The old T-score compared each student against everyone else in the cohort, producing a fine-grained aggregate. Since 2021, the PSLE uses Achievement Levels: each subject is scored AL1 to AL8 against fixed standards, and the four ALs are added for a total from 4 to 32, so a student's result no longer depends on how others did.
