2014 PSLE Discussions and Strategy

Hi,


Can any experienced mommy tell what will the score range be for PSLE if the kid is averaging above 80% for P5 and P6? From one of the more well-known schools. Thanks!

Should be able to achieve >250. Having said that, it also depends on the standard of the paper this year and performance of the cohort - if the paper standard turns out to be like last year, it will be another congregating of scores within some range - harder to predict too.

Maths Tutor Mr. Lim:

i guess top 10% or 15% get A star
Top 1% and 10% will get A star but different T-score, right!

for chinese,
Top 20% and 77% will get A but different T-score.

toptoptoptop %%%%% get higher t-score :yikes: toptoptop%%%%% :rotflmao:

From my understanding. To get A*, the raw score must be 90 & above. So as long as a pupil get 90 & above, he/she will get A*. But whether A* able to get high t-score. It is depend on whether how the overall cohort score. Eg. if the paper is extremely easy, average pupil / cohort get a raw score of 80 marks. It is also mean 80 marks = 50 for t-score. Hence t-score will be pull down.

How about the same but from an average neighbourhood school?
How much difference will it make?

some neighbourhood schools set even tougher math papers than the well-known schools.

I agree. The same goes for other subjects too.

That being the case, an A★ is worth every bit of it..

Maths Tutor Mr. Lim:

Dream School : Nan Chiau High School 2014 COP 242, 4 yr express only

case 1
P5 CA1 results, don't use p4 SA2 result
eng 60
chinese 60
science 60
maths 60

rough estimate (+-10) t-score -> 0.75 (60 + 60 + 60 + 60) = t-score 180

242 - 180 = 62 need to work very hard; like mission impossible; don’t dream

May I ask what is 0.75? How did you get this factor ?

A* is not inclusive of 90!

A* is 91 AND ABOVE.
