Singapore — A total of 98.4 per cent of the students who took the Primary School Leaving Examination this year under the new scoring system will go on to secondary school, it was announced on Wednesday.
“We made a deliberate shift away from the old T-score system, so students do not chase the last mark. An obsessive over-emphasis on exam results is not healthy for the development of our children,” said the Ministry of Education’s director-general of education, Wong Siew Hoong.Under the new system, AL scores range from 1 to 8 for each of the four subjects, with 1 being the highest and 8 the lowest.
With scores between 45 and 64 marks receiving an AL6, 85 to 89 for AL2, and scores higher than 90 equating an AL1, the narrower range at the top AL bands could affect the overall score because a single number difference can put the student’s standing an entire AL band lower. In response to the news, members of the online community highlighted varying opinions on the new scoring system.
