Similar to the T-score system, there are no pass or fail grades for individual PSLE subjects, or the PSLE as a whole.
The PSLE is a useful checkpoint to gauge a child's understanding of key concepts and academic strengths. It is also a placement exam to determine the most appropriate course and subject level for a student, based on the student's educational needs at the point of entry to secondary school.
Students who are placed into Posting Groups 1, 2 or 3 can progress to secondary school.

PSLE Score	Posting Group(s)	Indicative level for most subjects at start of Secondary 1
4 – 20	3	G3
21 – 22	2 or 3	G2 or G3
23 – 24	2	G2
25	1 or 2	G1 or G2
26 – 30 (with AL7 or better in EL and MA)	1	G1

Students who are not eligible for any of the Posting Groups would be offered the option to repeat the PSLE, or progress to NorthLight School or Assumption Pathway School with their principal's endorsement.
Regardless of the placement outcome of the child, there is flexibility within our system. Schools continually monitor the progress of our students to develop them to their fullest potential, and students will have the opportunities to adjust their subject levels at appropriate junctures, based on their strengths, interests and learning needs.
