Students should also be glad that the PSLE does not test them on topics outside the syllabus. Because many questions are quite easy, the Ministry of Education states, almost half of the Primary 6 students achieve 75 marks or better in all subjects.
MOE also assures parents in this article on the new scoring system, published on Oct 30, 2021, that there is no bell curve for the markers to follow, and that they do deliberate over answers that do not fit into the marking scheme.
