  • The Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) is a national examination taken by all students in Singapore near the end of their sixth year in primary school, which is also their last year in primary school before they leave for secondary school. It is administered by the Ministry of Education. This nationwide examination tests the English language, the Mother Tongue languages (typically Chinese, Malay, or Tamil, and also some other South Asian languages, such as Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu), Mathematics and Science. Each subject paper is around 2 hours long, with this time varying by fifteen minutes, except for certain components of language subjects. Multiple choice questions are tested using a standardised optical answer sheet (OAS) that uses optical mark recognition to detect answers. The PSLE's format and omnipresence in the Singapore education system itself not only makes it an examination, but a national culture and system in itself. The PSLE is the culmination of primary education in Singapore, and its format can be found in primary school examinations beside the PSLE itself, even from Primary 1, the first year of primary school. PSLE material has also been exported to other countries.
