Band 1 maybe :oops: PSLE's may not be fixed but how about the school results? Heard something like kid's marks is within Band 1...
No need to be paiseh. My 2nd psle and I still don't know what are the range for band 1 or is it band A. Never figure out how to estimate t score either. Not like whether I know or don't know will have any impact on the gradesMrsKiasu:
Not only dd need to learn. I also need to learn. I heard of Band A but in my mind I really don't know from what marks lor..and paiseh to ask also. From P1 to P6, the band A will be of the same range? And since 70-75 will be A, the band A will be from 70 onward?

I think in P3-P4, they use Band 1, 2 ,3.
3 years time. so she is in p3 this year.MrsKiasu:
in 2019. Not only dd need to learn. I also need to learn. I heard of Band A but in my mind I really don't know from what marks lor..and paiseh to ask also. From P1 to P6, the band A will be of the same range? And since 70-75 will be A, the band A will be from 70 onward?
Oh gosh, my dd is not only weak at one area. I can only hope that she could catch up by starts of P5.
no need to feel paiseh...we are all learning something new everyday...at the rate MOE changes regulations. grades are moderated according the results of students taking psle that year.
Band 1 _ 85% and above
Band 2 - 70%-84%
Band 3 -n50%-69%
Band 4 - below 50%
But in P5 and P6, they go by A*, A, B, Cs
A*- 91% above
A - 75%-90%
B- 60%-74%
C - 50%-59%
D - 35%-49%
E - 20%-34%
U - below 20% -

U - below 20%[/quote]Actually, the maximums all have minor errors.
for example, Band 2 shld be 70%-below 85% cause chances are will have decimals. Same for everything else. -

To calculate T score, just take total score x 0.75. Might not be accurate though. Some say x0.7 more accurate, but for my case, 0.75 was much more accurate than 0.7. If u have the level's statistics, can use:http://www.post1.net/biow/entry/psle_aggregate_calculator_and_psle_t_score_calculator_online

jialak…2nd time facing psle and still don’t know banding.

All this grading/banding is just a guide. It gets thrown out the window as no ones really knows how they convert the kids' actual marks into T scores. Depends largely on the whole cohort that particular year.
Janet, does your dd's school churn out statistics for parents to see where their kids stand for the subjects in terms of percentiles? My kids' school used to do that and I know where roughly where they stand but the school stopped that practice. -
randwick:
not aware of this practice.

this banding thing doesn't apply, because like you mentioned, it all depends on cohort and how they performed that year...'can do' vs a tough paper...the students' grades will determine for that year.
for me, i don't want to think of grading because it causes additional stress.
daughter is taking 3 subjects...until now only MOE knows how to calculate. -
randwick:
Some schools provide the statistical mean and standard deviation for each subject. If you have these, you can use the T-score formula to compute the T-score based on your school's cohort performance:janet88:

T-score of subject = {(Your score - mean)/standard deviation}+50
Some schools do some tracking on their own against national average and they will be able to provide an estimate of kid's T-score for PSLE if they perform at the same level as their prelim standard. I heard of schools which are above national averages telling parents to add 5-10 points to their total computed school prelim T-score and that will be their kid's estimated PSLE T-score. -
Pen88n:
heard of that before...hubby told me some colleagues said add xx points to their child's prelim t-score to get a rough gauge.

now must wait to see what kind of questions were set for math and english....but must learn to relax. -
Janet88, I also told my dd to focus on revision and don’t think of results now. No time for that!
