2014 TOP PSLE T-SCORE (EXCL HMT) - THE MAGIC 3D NUMBERS

[small]

ChiefKiasu:

Thanks GiftedGem and Just4Fun and volunteering to undertake this massive exercise


To make things simpler for everyone, we have created http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/node/add/psle-sch-top-scores for anyone to report a T-score.

All reported scores will then be automatically recorded and sorted in the list http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/psle_top_tscores.

So just report a score, maybe even your own child's T-scores. You will earn 10KP$ for every T-score reported.

Best wishes for all children awaiting this important milestone of your lives. May you get the scores you deserve!

Help to re-post.

The current P was from Nan Hua right?

Nan Hua's average score and % of students scoring above 250 are higher than NYPS now.

Because she left nan Hua ?!

who is Principal of Nan Hua, now ?
ex Principal of NYPS ?

they swap schools ?[/quote]
no.... understand she was from Tao Nan...

Indeed this year Nan Hua did well. The % of above 250 is quite impressive at 39.4% which works out to be about 114 students!

NYPS >250 34.8% AVERAGE 235 Highest unknow

I remember i read from ksp somewhere somewhere, 45%-47% scored above 250 in Nanyang for 2012 psle, No?

Average 235 is also considered low, very close to the avg score like scgs pri and mgs pri and some non-gep schools.

3 schools :
Tao Nan, Nan Hua and Nanyang are SAP schools, with GEP program.

after Nanyang changed Principal : drop was substantial

after Nan Hua changed Principal (from ex Tao Nan) : the increase was stunning

this year, Nan Hua won over Nanyang in one aspect :
in terms of % of pupils 250 and above.


leadership of Principal speaks a lot.

Then how did Tao Nan fare, after Ex P left for Nan Hua ?

every cohort is different and its not exactly fair to compare current batch with previous batches’ results. the quality of the kids may differ just like the difficulty level of the papers may differ too. instead of focusing on the top T score isn’t it more meaningful to look at where the school stands in terms of mean/average score and the number of students who score more than 250, for example? so what if certain school has a student who scored the highest but the majority of its students are lower than national average? does it mean the school did well against the others? is one top T score reflective of the school’s overall results? certainly not.


some posters commented that NYPS’ average score of 235 is low. but the last i checked, ai tong (219), rosyth (221) both SAP schools too are lower. only NHPS did better. unless we know whats the national average, can we jump to conclusion that NYPS has done badly compared to others?

am just speaking out loud- am not connected to NYPS in anyway.

Hi all my daughter got aggregate of 249. Appreciate if someone can advise if she can still try for dunman high. Dunman high COP was 256 last year. Thank you for your advice.

-5 is the max limit to try your luck into dream school. Last year Dunman high COP 256, so your daughter may have a chance if she has 251. All depends on quality of applicants for the school.

It does not make sense to compare mean score of Nanyang, with mean score of Ai Tong
Nanyang is Gep school.
Ai Tong is non-Gep, neighborhood Bishan school.

should not compare Nanyang with Rosyth, because Rosyth is non -SAP.
If want to compare these two : can only compare the Gep portion.
Mainstream wise :
NYPS pupils expected to perform better than Rosyth, in Chinese.

But we can compare Nanyang with Tao Nan, Catholic High, Nan Hua, because these 4 are (Sap + Gep), all in common.

For Rosyth :-
We can compare with St Hilda, Henry Park, Rgps, ACS barker, because they hold common ground, in (Non-Sap + Gep)
