2017 PSLE Discussions and Strategies

Thanks for sharing. I thought the answer to the FAQ seemed to indicate that the grades (A* etc) is based on the typical grading scale but the T score is an aggregate based on bell curve. Or have I interpreted wrongly? This is complex!

Hi ACMummy, what I understand is there is a subject T-score for each subject, and this subject T-score is computed taking into account cohort performance (that's why there is a formula with mean and SD). The individual subject T-scores are then added together to derive at the Aggregate T-score. The formula for the T-score is very complicated, and I've tried analyzing it 2 years ago when my DD1 took her PSLE then.

Batch 1 should have completed their Oral. Batch 2 next.


Anyone knows the Eng topic for today too? Thanks.

For some schools, batch 1 taking English oral has been dismissed. Chinese oral still not dismissed.
