Percentage of PSLE students who scored A*- C in Standard Mathematics

Data from Jan 1997 to Jan 2020

The first year that students sat for the PSLE under the new Achievement Level (AL) scoring system was in 2021. Under the new system, there are eight ALs, AL 1-8. The new AL scoring differs from the T-score system and results from the two systems are not comparable. As such, a new series of statistics was started from 2021 PSLE. The T-score series before 2021 PSLE are available on Data.gov.sg.
