Benefits
Thinking skills you can actually see.
The 2026 Term 2 PSL assessments give parents and schools a clear view of how learners think — at mid-term and again at end-term. PSL questions are designed to train learners to approach full-paper assessments with discipline, confidence and care.
Read carefully
Learners practise slowing down, understanding the question, and avoiding careless mistakes.
Think logically
Questions push learners to connect ideas and choose the correct reasoning path.
Work step by step
PSL rewards structure, method and clear working, not guessing.
Manage time
Regular assessment practice helps learners balance speed with accuracy under exam conditions.
Core Value
PSL builds more than marks.
Unlike routine class exercises, PSL focuses on quality thinking questions that test whether a learner truly understands what they are learning and can apply it with clarity.
Logical reasoning
Questions are built to strengthen structured thinking across the full paper.
Deep conceptual understanding
Learners engage with ideas, not just procedures.
Step-by-step problem solving
PSL encourages methodical, explainable solutions.
Academic confidence
Repeated exposure helps learners trust their process and improve performance.
How It Works
A simple school-ready assessment flow.
PSL is designed to fit normal school operations while still producing meaningful academic insight.
Registration
Schools register the number of learners per grade from Grade 1 to Grade 9. The fee is charged per learner.
Exam Delivery
Printed assessment papers are delivered to the school, or to your nearest town where needed, and the exam is administered under normal exam conditions.
Marking and Submission
Schools mark the scripts or use the provided marking guides, then upload scores to the Kurasa platform.
