According to Singapore Examinations and Assessment Board, “Total 45 - 100 2 h 30 min”[1]
The Primary School Leaving Examination is an annual national examination taken by candidates at the end of their final year of primary school in Singapore. It is run by the Singapore Examinations and Assessment Board (SEAB), and it is the exam your child's school places depend on, so it helps to understand how it is scored.
Delivery. The written papers are paper-based and sat in school. The Mother Tongue oral examinations, for both Standard and Foundation levels, are held in e-Exam format.
Scoring. There is no pass mark. Each subject gets an Achievement Level, and the PSLE Score is the sum of those levels across English, Mathematics, Science and Mother Tongue. Scores run from 4 to 32, and 4 is the best possible result.
Paper formats. Mathematics has 45 questions worth 100 marks across 2 papers. English Language Paper 1 runs for 1 h 10 min and Paper 2 for 1 h 50 min.
Fees. The exam is free for Singapore Citizens. Permanent Residents pay S$105 and international students pay S$385.
Results. The release is tentatively set for 24 to 25 November 2026. Dates and formats can change, so check the SEAB and MOE pages before relying on any detail here.

Prepare for the Singapore PSLE - Primary School Leaving Examination exam with our free practice test modules. Each quiz covers key topics to help you pass on your first try.
These are practice questions written for this site, not questions from the real exam. Each explanation shows why the right answer is right and why the others are wrong.
Question: A shop offers a 'buy 3 get 1 free' promotion on pens that cost $2 each. How much does Ravi pay for 8 pens?
Answer: C. $12
Explanation:
The correct answer is $12. With 'buy 3 get 1 free', every bundle contains paid pens and a free pen, and Ravi only pays for the paid ones. At $2 each, 3 paid pens cost $6 per bundle, and 8 pens fit the bundle pattern evenly, giving $12 in total.
$16 ignores the promotion and charges $2 for all 8 pens. $14 removes the price of only a single free pen, which is $16 minus $2, and misses that each bundle has a free pen. $10 removes too much, because the free pens are not worth that much here.
Rule to remember: find the bundle, work out how many items in it are paid, then multiply by the price.
Question: Which type of text would most likely include stage directions?
Answer: C. A play script
Explanation:
A play script is correct because it is written to be performed, so it includes stage directions that tell actors how to move, speak or behave.
A poem may use line breaks and imagery but does not tell anyone how to act. A newspaper article reports events to readers and has no performers to direct. A recipe gives instructions, which can look similar, but those are steps for cooking, not directions for actors on a stage.
Rule to remember: match the text type to its purpose and layout. If the text is meant to be acted out, expect character names, dialogue and stage directions.
Question: Which word best replaces 'commenced' in the sentence 'The ceremony commenced at noon'?
Answer: B. Began
Explanation:
'Began' is correct because 'commenced' means started. Swap it into the sentence and the meaning stays the same: the ceremony began at noon.
'Ended' is the opposite meaning, so it reverses the sentence. 'Continued' suggests the ceremony was already under way, which the sentence does not say. 'Paused' means it stopped for a while, which also changes the meaning.
Rule to remember: when you replace a word, put each option back into the sentence and check that the meaning is unchanged. Watch for opposites, as they are often offered as tempting wrong answers.
Start with the official material. Read the SEAB pages on the formats for each subject so you know the paper structure, the time allowed and how the Mother Tongue oral is sat in e-Exam format.
Then use our sets to find weak areas. Try PSLE Mathematics Concepts and PSLE Mathematics Problem Solving separately, because a concept gap and a word-problem gap need different fixes. For English, alternate PSLE English Grammar and Vocabulary with PSLE English Language Comprehension. For Science, rotate through Biology, Chemistry and Physics topics.
Our questions are written by us and are not real exam questions, so treat them as practice, not a prediction.
The PSLE is taken by candidates at the end of their final year of primary school in Singapore, which is Primary 6. It is an annual national examination run by the Singapore Examinations and Assessment Board. Check the SEAB site for registration details that apply to your school.
No. There is no pass mark. The PSLE Score is the sum of the Achievement Levels in English, Mathematics, Science and Mother Tongue. Scores range from 4 to 32, and 4 is the best possible total. A lower score is therefore better.
It is free for Singapore Citizens. Singapore Permanent Residents pay S$105 and international students pay S$385. The fee covers sitting the examination. Rules can change, so confirm the current amount in the official SEAB rules and regulations document.
The results are tentatively scheduled for release between 24 and 25 November 2026, according to the MOE national exam dates page. Because the dates are tentative, check the MOE page for any update before making plans.
Mathematics has 45 questions worth 100 marks, split across 2 papers. Our Mathematics Concepts and Problem Solving sets let you practise the two kinds of thinking separately. For the exact format in your year, check the SEAB formats page.
English Language Paper 1 lasts 1 h 10 min and Paper 2 lasts 1 h 50 min. Practising with those limits in mind helps you judge how long to spend on each section. Always check the official exam calendar for the current timetable.
