All About T-Score

[ooptimizer]

Should be the around the same every year, + or - 2 points.

(as someone has said the top 10% this year is likely 249 and above).

This year's results seemed to be lower than the past years, does anyone agrees with me?

Someone here said her/his kid got 248 & was offered German, French & Japs:

So top 10% for 2009 PSLE is 248 onwards (unless someone with 247 or lower can confirm they are also offered German, French & Japs).

hi all


My child will be taking her PSLE this year.
She is taking 3 standard subjects and 1 foundation maths (decided by the school).

I am worried that with this combination, her T-score will be low even though she may do well in EL, CL and Sc. Just because when the foundation maths marks add to the other 3 subjects, it will pull the overall marks down. May I right to say that? Roughly any idea what the marks range will be?

Or should I appeal to the school and switch her to standard maths after her CA1 in Mar? New additional topics covered for standard Maths to-date are alegbra and nets.

Hope to receive your advice and share your experience with me.

Thanks a lot.

Some school says that the foundation subject will not affect the T-score

Does anyone knows if CA and SA1 marks are counted in P6’s prelim T-score ? I understand that in case a child misses PSLE exam, MOE will use the prelim score for sec 1 placement, correct ?

Did your child do very badly for Math? The concern is also if she does well for the other three and makes it to Express stream or even NA, she will find Math a real struggle. If she is not that bad for Math (>30 marks), may be she should do std math.

Most schs do not include CA and SA1 in Prelims. But you acn check with your child's sch.
