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

[24hr-mum]

So if the child weak in math, might as well focus on lang n sci since mean for math is usu high n any mark abv tat dun help in Tscore as much as othr subj?

My dd's friend 3A*, 1A = 248

Friend's son 2A* 2A = 249. Can't believe what will happen when govt remove t-score and leave parents with just the banding when selecting for sec schools.

So we will probably look at the lower and median range in order to help gauge the better schools for our kiddos?


Anyone has latest updates on the cut off points for this year's entry to 2015 secondary schools?

The latest COP for 2015 secondary school will only be known after the S1 posting result is done. As whats others have said in the earlier thread, the COP of the school will be the score the last student that they accepted.

Think will be good to know which subjects scored A*. An A* in Science or English might be worth more marks in T-score than Math? If the average for Math is higher than Science/English, since T-score is mainly an deviation from Mean.

Where do you get the idea that the average for Math is higher than Science/English? Or is this just a rhetorical question?

From what I can gather from some primary schools' websites, the national statistics are:

English
A*-C : 2013 - 97.1%, 2012 - 97.0%, 2011 - 97.7%
A*-A : 2013 - 44.4%, 2013 - 44.7%, 2011 - 44.4%

Maths
A*-C : 2013 - 85.3%, 2012 - 85.3%, 2011 - 84.2%
A*-A : 2013 - 45.3%, 2012 - 44.5%, 2011 - 43.5%

Science
A*-C : 2013 - 90.3%, 2012 - 90.5%, 2011 - 90.5%
A*-A : 2013 - 42.0%, 2012 - 42.3%, 2011 - 43.5%

CL
A*-C : 2013 - 97.1%, 2012 - 97.3%, 2011 - 97.3%
A*-A : 2013 - 77.8%, 2012 - 80.7%, 2011 - 80.6%

ML
A*-C : 2013 - 97.3%, 2012 - 98.0%, 2011 - 97.9%
A*-A : 2013 - 73.6%, 2012 - 74.1%, 2011 - 72.3%

TL
A*-C : 2013 - 97.1%, 2012 - 97.7%, 2011 - 98.3%
A*-A : 2013 - 77.6%, 2012 - 78.3%, 2011 - 77.5%

My DS's friend 4 A* 252

My son 2A* + 2A at 253, the 2 A* are maths and science, wonder how moe calculated the T score

[houselizard]

We won’t be able to know how MOE’s computation on the T-score as we don’t know the formula and the actual results. However, I was told we can’t simply look at A or A* as A could be Higher A or Lower A, likewise for A*.


My DD has 3 A* + A(Chinese) but her T-score was 254 but someone else has 3 A* + A(English) but T-score was 261. Anyway, the COP is based on T-scores and not based on how many A* or A.

Looking at the statistics above, CL has the highest A*/A of 77.8% whereas Sci has lowest A*/A of 42%. So, it is true that getting an A* in Sci will carry more Tscore than getting an A* in CL?
