2014 TOP PSLE T-SCORE (EXCL HMT) - THE MAGIC 3D NUMBERS
-
A for Chinese and A for other subjects will show big difference when it converted to T-Score. The reason is simple: According to past years’ results, for Chinese, around 81% students achieved A/A* every year, for other subjects only around 43% students achieved A/A*. Why MOE doing that? Let students feel good for their Chinese test results. But when it converted to T-Score, it will give you true picture. For example, if you got A for Chinese, maybe you are at lower end, just higher than 19% students, much lower than the average score which at 50%. Your T-score could be less than 40 marks. But for other subjects, if you got A, at least your score is higher than 57% students, your lowest T-score for sure higher than 50 marks ( 57%>50%). Extreme case, the difference between A for Chinese and A for other subjects could be more than 20 marks. A for Chinese means you are better than 19% students only, A for other subjects means you are better than at least 57% students.

Congras to all the p6 parents for your children first success. After looking through the score, it seems like the top schools r not performing as well as the neighborhood. I was wondering can this due ti DSA? As MOE is looking for holistic education I guess more will be accepted for DSA . When a child has accepted via DSA he/she needs to fulfill a min cut. I may be wrong. Just my own observation.

257 1A* 3AJust want to find out how wide can the Tscore be, even with the same banding ...
4A* : max 280 min 256 ( anyone knows any lower score, pls adv. )
3A*, 1A : max 264 min 252
2A*, 2A : max 256 min 245
1A* 3A. : max 250 min 240
4A: max 250 min 240
Anyone who knows , under the same banding, Tscore higher than the above max, or lower than the above min, pls adv.
Thank you ! -

Let students feel good for their Chinese test results. But when it converted to T-Score, it will give you true picture. For example, if you got A for Chinese, maybe you are at lower end, just higher than 16% students, much lower than the average score which at 50%. Your T-score could be less than 40 marks.

So what does this mean? An A or A* for Chinese MT actually contributes less to a student's T-score than an A or A* for other subjects? :?MrBin:

The weightage for both languages is 200 while the rest is 100.
Why is this so? -
ngl2010:
3A*, 1C (CL) 258
:yikes: C also can get 258! -
ngl2010:
3A*, 1C (CL) 258
I have doubts?
The best T-score is 280, 280/4 = 70
Let us assume 3A* = 3 * 70 = 210
258-210 = 48
1C (CL) could get 48 marks? -

This is wrong info. All subjects bear equal weightage.The weightage for both languages is 200 while the rest is 100.
Why is this so?
