Javier will be among the first batch of primary school students whose results will be based on the new PSLE scoring system. Starting next year (2021), P6 students will no longer see a T-score figure on their slips. Instead, they will be scored using eight bands known as Achievement Levels (AL), whereby AL 1 will be the best level and AL 8 will be the lowest per subject. So based on 4 subjects in PSLE, the best result a student can get is AL 4 (with all 4 subjects achieving AL 1). This year, P5 students started using this new scoring system and Javier got AL 8 in total. Two of his subjects actually missed AL 1 by one mark. Though disappointed, at least he now knows that every mark counts. :-)
The indicative AL cut-offs for individual secondary schools will be released in the first half of next year, based on the results and school choices of this year's PSLE cohort.
