What it takes
What a PSLE score of 13 takes
A score of 13 is four Achievement Levels that add up to 13, so every subject at about AL 3 or AL 4. One way to make it:
- English
AL 4
75 to 79
- Maths
AL 3
80 to 84
- Science
AL 3
80 to 84
- Mother Tongue
AL 3
80 to 84
In Maths, AL 3 starts at 80 marks and AL 4 at 75: 5 marks on a 100-mark paper decide a whole point of the score.
