What it takes
What a PSLE score of 7 takes
A score of 7 is four Achievement Levels that add up to 7, so every subject at about AL 1 or AL 2. One way to make it:
- English
AL 2
85 to 89
- Maths
AL 1
90 to 100
- Science
AL 2
85 to 89
- Mother Tongue
AL 2
85 to 89
In Maths, AL 1 starts at 90 marks and AL 2 at 85: 5 marks on a 100-mark paper decide a whole point of the score.
The Maths is where StudyLah comes in
PSLE Maths practice built to real PSLE standard, from P1 to P6. When your child is stuck, Lah, the otter tutor inside every question, talks them through it step by step. You see their progress topic by topic, free on every plan.
