Every Kranjian Matters and Deserves the Best 40

Over the years, we have been fine-tuning the education system to help ourstudents discover and develop their strengths and interests, while movingaway from an over-emphasis on academic results.

Our PSLE scoring changes aim to:

Reduce fine differentiation at a young age

Recognise students’ level of achievement, regardless of how their peershave done

THE PSLE CHANGES ARE PART OF A BIGGER STORY

PSLE Microsite

Page 41: Welcome to Kranji Primary School...Every Kranjian Matters and Deserves the Best 40 Over the years, we have been fine-tuning the education system to help our students discover and develop

Every Kranjian Matters and Deserves the Best

THE PSLE REMAINS A USEFUL CHECKPOINT

To understand where our children are at in their learning after six years of primary school

Gauge their learning needs so that they can progress to a secondary school and take subjects at a suitable level

Reflects a student’s individual level ofachievement

Unlike the current T-score, students’ ALfor each subject will reflect their level ofachievement, rather than how they haveperformed relative to their peers.

Students’ scores are differentiated finely. Studentscan have a T-score aggregate of less than 80 tomore than 280, which gives more than 200possible different T-score aggregates.

FROM T-SCORE TO WIDER SCORING BANDS

Students will be placed in fewer groups of PSLEScores. Students’ PSLE scores (the sum of theAL for each subject) will range from 4 to 32,which gives 29 possible different scores.

Reduces fine differentiation of students

Students with similar scores in each subject will be grouped into

wider bands measured in Achievement Levels (ALs).

Page 45: Welcome to Kranji Primary School...Every Kranjian Matters and Deserves the Best 40 Over the years, we have been fine-tuning the education system to help our students discover and develop

Every Kranjian Matters and Deserves the Best 45

The PSLE Score replaces the T-score aggregate.

It is obtained by adding the ALs of four subjects.

The PSLE Score ranges from 4 to 32, with 4 being the best.

Students will be placed in secondary school courses based on their PSLE score – Express, Normal (Academic) or Normal (Technical).

AL bands and mark ranges are set based on the learning

objectives of the curriculum, and mirror the way we learn:

• When we learn something new, after some initial practice,

we often find ourselves improving significantly.

• But as we get better, the improvements become small

steps, and finally, as we reach a high level, we inch just a

little further, even after much learning and practice.

The ALs were designed to reflect this reality of learning. They

help educators, students, and parents know how ready

students are to access the curriculum at the next level.

WHY ARE THE AL BANDS NOT EVEN?

WHAT REMAINS WHAT CHANGES

The T-score Aggregate will be replaced

by the PSLE Score, to reduce the fine

differentiation of our students at a young age based on exam scores.

Students will be assessed based on their own

achievement, instead of comparing them to their peers.

Same 4 subjects are

tested, and scores are

awarded to guide students’ choices for

the next stage of their

education journey

Curriculum is

continually updated.

This is not related to the PSLE scoring

and S1 posting

changes.

Every Kranjian Matters and Deserves the Best 49

Academic merit, i.e. the PSLE Score, remains the first criterion for secondary school posting.

If two students with the same PSLE Score vie for a place in a school, the following tie-breakers will be used:

1. CITIZENSHIP

2. CHOICE ORDER OF SCHOOLS

3. COMPUTERISED BALLOTING

CHOICE ORDER OF SCHOOLS WILL MATTER MORE

CHOOSING SECONDARY SCHOOLS

Consider your child’s strengths and interestswhen making school choices in order to find a school that would help your child learn and thrive best.

Each school has its own distinctive programmes, culture and niche areas. There are many ways to find out more about secondary schools’ distinctive programmes such as:-

i. MOE’s SchoolFinder tool;

ii. secondary schools’ websites;

iii. school open houses.

New Field to compute “Total AL Score”

Update from “Grade” to “AL”

AL will notbe reflected

PRESENTATION OF RESULTS IN ALs Starting from the 2020 P5 cohort, schools will present school-based examination results of

P5 and P6 students in ALs.

2020 P6 students will not be affected, nor will P1 to P4 students.

This will help familiarise students and parents with the new AL scoring system.

The AL reflects the mastery of a broader curriculum, rather than for topical or component

performance. As such, AL will not be reflected for weighted assessments (WA).

SUBJECT-BASED BANDING (PRIMARY)

Offers students the option of Standard and Foundation Subjects,

depending on their strengths.

Allow students to focus on and stretch their potential in the subjects

they are strong in while building up the fundamentals in the subject

they need more support in.

The new PSLE scoring system will not change the considerations for

deciding on a student’s subject combination.

SUBJECT-BASED BANDING (PRIMARY)

19

Schools will continue to recommend based on the following:

Student’s aptitude, motivation and performance in each subject;

Student’s ability to cope with a particular subject combination; and

Whether the subject combination focuses sufficiently on literacy

and numeracy, and facilitates the student’s articulation to

secondary school and beyond.

Offering subjects at Foundation level is not a disadvantage to the

students. It enables them to focus on building up strong

fundamentals in these subjects and better prepares them for

progression to secondary school.

For students who are exempted from MTL or take an AsL/FL in lieuof an official MTL, their PSLE result slip will only reflect the threesubjects they have taken.

However, for the purposes of Secondary 1 posting, these studentswill need an assigned MTL score so that they have a PSLE scorecomprising four subjects

To determine the assigned MTL score, reference is made toMTL scores of other students who have achieved similar scoresin English, Mathematics, and Science.

This is the same approach taken in today’s T-score system.

In reviewing the score assignment for these students under the newPSLE scoring system, we needed to strike a balance between:

Acknowledging that students have valid reasons for seekingMTL exemption or taking an AsL/FL, and

Ensuring some parity between scoring for exemption,Foundation and Standard MTL.

Under the new scoring system, the assigned MTL score will :

Take reference from peers with similar scores for English,Mathematics and Science;

While maintaining parity of treatment with students who takeFoundation MTL (who will score between AL 6 to 8).

Hence, students will receive an assigned MTL score between AL 6to 8 in PSLE.

“On a school day, most pupils sleep an average eight hours, fewer than the nine to 10 hours they should ideally clock. This means if a child gets up at 6am, he has to be in bed by 9pm, at the latest.”
