Your child's maths result becomes one of four Achievement Levels, and the PSLE Score is the sum of the four, from 4 to 32 ([SEAB](https://www.seab.gov.sg/psle/about-psle/), [MOE](https://www.moe.gov.sg/psle-fsbb/resources/score-calculator)). Moving maths up one AL moves the total by one point. ## The 2026 paper, question by question --- --- --- --- --- --- 1 A: multiple choice 10 x 1 mark, 8 x 2 marks 26 Not allowed 1 h 10 min 1 B: short answer 12 x 2 marks 24 Not allowed (same paper) 2 Short answer 5 x 2 marks 10 Allowed 1 h 20 min 2 Structured and long answer 10 x 3, 4 or 5 marks 40 Allowed (same paper) Source: [SEAB, PSLE Mathematics 0008, for examination from 2026](https://isomer-user-content.by.gov.sg/334/fe51f29b-04ae-4fcb-a907-8db04c028510/0008_y26_sy.pdf). ## Where the AL bands fall Each subject is graded in eight Achievement Levels ([MOE](https://www.moe.gov.sg/psle-fsbb/resources/score-calculator)): --- --- 1 90 and above 2 85 to 89 3 80 to 84 4 75 to 79 5 65 to 74 6 45 to 64 7 20 to 44 8 below 20 The top bands are five marks wide. On a 100-mark paper, one structured question (3 to 5 marks) is often the difference between two ALs.

What mark do I need for AL1 in PSLE Maths? + 90 and above. AL2 is 85 to 89, AL3 is 80 to 84 and AL4 is 75 to 79 (MOE). Is it too late to start tuition in Primary 6? + No, but the time is short. P6 lessons concentrate on the paper itself: timing, method marks and the question types worth the most marks. Is there a charge for sending a request? + No. Sending a request costs nothing.
