The truth is: Higher Chinese does not count towards PSLE AL score.
Your child’s PSLE score is based on:
English + Mathematics + Science + Standard Chinese
So when does Higher Chinese matter?
It matters for SAP schools, such as HCI, NYGH, Catholic High, St Nicholas, River Valley High and Dunman High, it acts as a tiebreaker at the admission cut-off point.
Should your child take Higher Chinese?
Yes, if they are strong in and enjoy Chinese.
If Chinese is already a challenge, it’s often better to focus on excelling in Standard Chinese and the core PSLE subjects.At GATE Education, we help P4 – P6 families make informed decisions on Chinese subject planning, PSLE strategy, DSA and secondary school selection.
