The PSLE condition
What a PSLE score of 22 takes
A score of 22 is four Achievement Levels that add up to 22, so every subject at about AL 5 or AL 6. One way to make it:
- English
AL 6
45 to 64
- Maths
AL 5
65 to 74
- Science
AL 6
45 to 64
- Mother Tongue
AL 5
65 to 74
A DSA offer still needs a PSLE result that qualifies for a Posting Group the school offers; without one, the child joins S1 Posting instead. In Maths, AL 5 starts at 65 marks and AL 6 at 45: 20 marks on a 100-mark paper decide a whole point of the score.
