SINGAPORE - Starting next year, Primary 5 pupils will be graded with the new Primary School Leaving Examination scoring system to help them come to grips with it.
When they get to Primary 6 in 2021, they will be given the cut-off entry scores of all secondary schools based on the new scoring system, MOE said on Thursday . The total PSLE score will be a sum of the scores for the four subjects, with possible scores ranging from 4 to 32. "Pupils should thus decide whether to take a subject at Standard or Foundation level based on their aptitude and ability to manage the demands of that subject, rather than whether he can still qualify for a particular course," MOE said.
"The systemic enhancements we are putting in place, including recently announced initiatives, such as the reduction of school examinations and the implementation of full subject-based banding in secondary schools, aim to offer multiple pathways and possibilities for our students with diverse needs to reach their fullest potential, regardless of their starting points," said MOE.
