PSLE AL Score Calculator

Updated 25 Oct 2026 · SG School Guide Editorial Team
Short answer

Add the four subject Achievement Levels (AL1–AL8) to get the PSLE Score, from 4 (best) to 32. This calculator does the sum and shows the indicative Posting Group — it never predicts a specific school.

On this page (4 sections)

Enter the Achievement Level for each of the four PSLE subjects to get the total PSLE Score and the Posting Group it points to.

Tool

PSLE AL score calculator

Pick the Achievement Level (AL 1–8) for each subject. Taking a subject at Foundation level? Enter A as 6, B as 7 and C as 8.

English
Mathematics
Science
Mother Tongue

Select an AL for all four subjects to see the PSLE Score.

A lower PSLE Score is better (4 best … 32). This shows the scoring mechanism only — it never predicts a specific school posting.

Based on MOE — PSLE scoring system. As of October 2026. Estimate of the scoring mechanism only — it does not predict a school posting.

How it is calculated

Each of the four subjects — English, Mathematics, Science and Mother Tongue — is graded into one of eight Achievement Levels from its raw mark, using the same reference table (Source: MOE/SEAB):

Achievement Level Reference raw mark
AL1 90 and above
AL2 85 – 89
AL3 80 – 84
AL4 75 – 79
AL5 65 – 74
AL6 45 – 64
AL7 20 – 44
AL8 Below 20

The PSLE Score is the sum of the four subject ALs (4 best … 32). Foundation-level grades map in as A = AL6, B = AL7, C = AL8. The score then points to a Posting Group under Full Subject-Based Banding (Source: MOE):

PSLE Score Posting Group Starting level
4 – 20 3 G3
21 – 22 2 or 3 G2 or G3
23 – 24 2 G2
25 1 or 2 G1 or G2
26 – 32 (AL7+ in English & Maths) 1 G1

A worked example

Illustrative. A child scores English AL2, Mathematics AL1, Science AL2 and Mother Tongue AL3. The PSLE Score is 2 + 1 + 2 + 3 = 8, which falls in the 4–20 band, pointing to Posting Group 3 (starting level G3).

Limits of this estimate

  • It converts ALs you enter; it does not read raw marks or apply any moderation.
  • It shows the mechanism, not a school. The only reliable per-school cut-off points are MOE’s own figures, published each December.
  • Posting also depends on your choice order and vacancies, and tie-breakers decide the last places.
