PURPOSE OF PSLE The purpose of PSLE is to assess pupils' suitability for secondary education and place them in one of the appropriate secondary school courses, which match their learning pace, ability and inclination. Based on their performance in PSLE, pupils are streamed into the Special course, Express course, Normal (Academic) course or Normal (Technical) course in secondary school.   Back to Top REGISTRATION A pupil can sit the PSLE in the final year of primary education if the pupil is studying in an approved institution in Singapore. Parents who are Singaporeans working overseas can apply to register their children who have completed their primary education overseas to sit the PSLE. However, they must first enrol their children in an approved institution in Singapore to sit the PSLE in the examination year.   Back to Top RESULTS The PSLE results will be released during the first week of the Nov/Dec school holidays in the examination year.   Back to Top LOST CERTIFICATES No replacement is issued for a lost certificate, but a “Statement of Results” can be obtained, on application at the Customer Service Centre (CSC) at Ministry of Education (MOE), 1 North Buona Vista Drive, Singapore 138675.
