alscore.sg › PSLE results 2026
You'll have about a week to choose six secondary schools and put them in order. This page walks through it step by step, in the order you'll need it.
The PSLE score adds up four subjects, each graded AL 1 to AL 8. The total runs from 4, the strongest, to 32. It decides the posting group:
| Score | Posting group |
|---|---|
| 4 to 20 | Posting Group 3 — most subjects at the standard level |
| 21 to 22 | Posting Group 2 or 3 |
| 23 to 24 | Posting Group 2 |
| 25 | Posting Group 1 or 2 |
| 26 to 30 | Posting Group 1 |
Look up any score directly: AL 4 to 32, school by school.
The share of students scoring AL 6 or better — 45 marks or more — in each subject, newest year first. The AL system began in 2021:
| Subject | 2024 | 2023 | 2022 | 2021 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| English | 94.2% | 94.0% | 93.9% | 93.8% |
| Mother Tongue | 94.5% | 94.6% | 94.6% | 94.7% |
| Mathematics | 90.9% | 90.5% | 89.6% | 89.1% |
| Science | 90.6% | 90.7% | 90.5% | 90.5% |
The figures barely move year to year: roughly nine in ten students reach AL 6 or better in each subject. What separates the most sought-after schools is the grades above that, which is what cut-off points measure.

A school is within reach when your child's score is equal to or better than its cut-off point — the score of the last student admitted at the most recent intake. Cut-offs move by a point or two each year, so treat them as a guide.
On the score checker, enter the four grades and you'll see every school within reach, sorted by posting group. Add your postal code to see the nearest first — distance matters for six years of travel, and it's also a tie-breaker.
If your child's primary school is affiliated to a secondary school, that school holds a separate, more lenient cut-off for its pupils. Tick the affiliated box on the checker to include those.
The posting goes down your list in order. A realistic school placed sixth can still be missed if the five above it fill up first. Most families spread their choices like this:
| Choice | What to put there |
|---|---|
| 1–2 | Stretch schools — cut-off at or just better than your child's score |
| 3–5 | Realistic schools — two or three points of room |
| 6 | A comfortable school you'd be happy with — several points of room |
Build and reorder the list on the score checker, then share it with your family before you submit.
Submit through MOE's Secondary 1 Option Exercise before the deadline. Leave yourself a day of margin — the last afternoon is when systems are busiest and decisions get rushed.
Send your list to our WhatsApp helper and we'll keep it, and remind you before the window closes.
MOE announces the exact date. Results usually come out in late November, and the six-school option window opens straight after.
Usually about a week. Last year results came out on 25 November and the window closed on 1 December at 4.30pm, so families had six days.
Six, in order of preference. The posting runs down your list in order, so the order matters as much as the schools.
No. It is the score of the last student admitted at the most recent intake. It moves by a point or two each year.
Secondary 1 posting results usually come out in the second half of December.
