2016 PSLE Discussions (Born in 2004)

Thanks ammonite.
Models up till p4 still very much required…some experience tells me as long as steps are clearly shown and answers are correct at PSLE, marks will be given. -
What is the avg range of score for P5 is considered "stable" for languages (Chinese & English). For my DS school, seems like only 10%-15% able to get Band 1 (85 and above)…thus those in avg of 70s what does this mean? Will they be able to acheive As for these subjects??

A is 75-90 right? The scoring for PSLE is the same. But how that translate to the t-score depends on the curve. Try to aim above 80 for better T-score. -

hiThe jump from p4-5 is wider compared to p2-3.
The first semester or so is an adjustment period. Math especially, is challenging as numbers are bigger and topics get harder. Daughter is weak in guess and check. Every baby step should be celebrated.
I read with interest on this topic and so relieved that I am not alone with my DD. She is in one of the top class but her grades dropped drastically.
Her usual Math test in P4 is about 85-90% and now it seems like she has a mental blocking. She recently scored 55% for her math test.
Having said that, I am still looking for solutions to help her to gain back her confidence. How long will this adjustment period last? How do you encourage your DD or DS to persevere?
Feel free to share. thanks.

I think 75-90 would be PSLE score...for her school, from P1-P5 Band 1 is 85 and above, Band 2 is 70 to 84, Band 3 50-69....Thus I am wondering if most are in Band 2, how does it translate to PSLE \"A\"....if she has say 75, does it mean A in PSLE and how to calculate T score if avg all subjects are with 75? -
My understanding is that 75 is an A in psle. T score depends on cohort performance.
So on the paper 75 and 85 are both A, but the t-score will not be the same (both before and after adjusting for bell curve). -

That would means how \"correlated\" or close that Primary School levels to PSLE levels.....All TOP Primary schools will be much tuned and aligned to what the PSLE expectation so they could estimated Tscore base on their Prelim or even P5... for neighbourhood schools it may not be that way..if you score say 80-90 maynot translate A in the PSLE...I think it happened with my nephew after he got his PSLE last year..so its a bit worry for my DD cos she is not from any of the \"TOP school\"...My understanding is that 75 is an A in psle. T score depends on cohort performance.

Hmm…my DS is sec 3 this year.
He was in a neighbourhood primary school and from my experience, the school was drilling them with higher standard type of questions compare to PSLE questions. -

A child may get a raw score of say 75 in Maths and 75 in english but his T scores for each sub could be and most likely be different. The bell curve for each subject could be different , with different means and different spreads.
So for maths say the cohort ave is 75 the the T score for that would be 50. For english if the cohort ave is 65, and the spread is quite narrow (SD=5) then the T score could be as high as 70. However if the spread is high ( SD=10) then the T score will be 60. So for the same raw marks, the T scores can be widely different, depending on the subject bell curve (mean and spread)
Google it - interesting read. Schools will usually have a briefing for parents when child is in P6 . -
