Performance improved at every qualification grade compared to 2024 — the fourth consecutive year of upward movement.
Each bar shows the percentage of candidates who achieved Grade C or better in 2025. Commentary comes from BEC's technical report.
Strongest in Knowledge & Understanding; Communication remains the weaker dimension.
Grade C+ improved 3.08%. Composition and letter-writing creativity still a challenge.
Performance stable. Candidates do better in Application & Reasoning than Computation.
Declined 2.68% at Grade C+. Nature & Universe and Matter & Energy topics are challenging.
Skills Dimension improved; Knowledge & Understanding declined slightly.
Grade C+ up 2.64%. Knowledge–practice gap: candidates know concepts but struggle to apply.
Declined 3.18% at Grade C+. Morality items (ethics, decision-making) proved challenging.
% of candidates at Grade C or better
Overall performance at Grades A through C has improved consistently since 2022. The 2025 result of 74.11% represents the best outcome in the five-year window.
% of candidates at Grade A to C, by educational region
Female candidates outperformed male counterparts in every single subject — and at every grade from A to C.
The ~14 percentage-point gap is consistent with recent years and widens further at Grade A.
Grade A to C outcomes vary significantly by centre type, highlighting an access and resource gap.
A 23-point gap between private and government schools is why AcePSLE exists — quality study tools should not depend on school fees.
The PSLE grades candidates on a scale of A to E across seven subjects. Grades are awarded first at the Dimension level, then aggregated into a Syllabus grade, and finally into an overall Qualification grade.
Letter X means the candidate did not meet requirements for grading (usually absence from one or more papers). Letter U means the candidate fell below the minimum threshold for Grade E. In 2025, only 13 candidates received U — the lowest figure in years.
Whether your child just sat the PSLE, is preparing for next year, or is in Standard 5 or 6 — AcePSLE is built to move their grade up, one topic at a time.
Science Application, English Communication, Setswana Communication — the exact areas BEC flagged as challenging are where our structured topic notes go deepest.
When your child gets stuck, Thuso explains the concept in plain language — as many times as needed, patiently, in the way that works for your child.
We host actual PSLE past papers from 2015 onwards with instant answers and explanations. The single best predictor of exam performance is exam practice.
