What it takes

What a PSLE score of 9 takes

A score of 9 is four Achievement Levels that add up to 9, so every subject at about AL 2 or AL 3. One way to make it:

  • English

    AL 3

    80 to 84

  • Maths

    AL 2

    85 to 89

  • Science

    AL 2

    85 to 89

  • Mother Tongue

    AL 2

    85 to 89

In Maths, AL 2 starts at 85 marks and AL 3 at 80: 5 marks on a 100-mark paper decide a whole point of the score.

The Maths is where StudyLah comes in
