The Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) marks a major academic milestone in your child’s primary school education, assessing foundational knowledge and determining eligibility for secondary school placements.
In 2026, the Ministry of Education (MOE) officially released the PSLE examination timetable, helping both parents and students alike organise revision plans and manage time more effectively. Starting exam preparations early and supporting weaker subjects with PSLE tuition can help students build confidence and reduce last-minute stress.

Since 2021, the PSLE results have been calculated through a new Achievement Levels (AL) scoring system, replacing the T-score system. Under the AL system, the raw PSLE scores for every subject are translated into numbered bands ranging from 1 to 8. These bands are then added together to determine your child’s final PSLE score.
The final PSLE score will be used to divide students into three Posting Groups, which determines subject difficulty levels at the beginning of their secondary education.
Find out more about why the T-score system was replaced, as well as examples on how to calculate PSLE AL scores on our blog.
