Singapore iPSLE

The Singapore international Primary School Examination (iPSLE) is the international version of Singapore’s Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE), an examination offered to all pupils at the end of Primary Education. The iPSLE was introduced with the aim of providing benchmarking for overseas schools which are interested to benchmark against Singapore’s standard.

EXAMINATION ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

Currently, iPSLE is offered to schools outside Singapore. There is no restriction on the maximum age for pupils taking iPSLE.

EXAMINATION SUBJECTS

The following subjects are available in the iPSLE: English Language, Mathematics, Science, Chinese Language, Malay Language and Tamil Language. Pupils may sit a maximum of 4 subjects.

FORMAT OF EXAMINATION

The standards and testing requirements of iPSLE are similar to the Singapore PSLE.

RESULTS REPORTING

Examination results are usually released in November of the examination year.

Results will be reported in the form of subject grades:
A*, A, B, C, D, E

The overall performance of a pupil is reported in terms of an Aggregate Score. This aggregate score is derived from the T-scores (i.e. Transformed Scores) in all the subjects sat, which must include the three subjects – English Language, Mathematics and Science.

CERTIFICATION

Candidates who achieve a grade E or better for at least ONE subject will receive an iPSLE certificate awarded by the Singapore Examinations and Assessment Board (SEAB).
