PSLE scoring system
The Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) scoring system evaluates students' performance across subjects like English, Math, Science, and Mother Tongue. Each subject is assigned a score based on the raw marks, with lower scores indicating better performance. The total score is the sum of all subject scores, and students are assigned a grading band or achievement level accordingly. This score determines their placement into secondary schools, with lower scores granting more school options. The system emphasizes a holistic assessment of student abilities, balancing raw scores with standardized grading to facilitate fair placement.
