The cut-off point for last year’s PSLE was 263 higher than RGS.
Also the cut off for their affiliated NYPS was 250.
So you have stiff competition even with 260. DSA will probably help to give you a better sense of security if they select you first before PSLE. -

the blanket is VERY wet
Sorry, I don't mean to be a wet blanket here, but the T-score calculated from a P6 cohort of about 300-400 students is VERY different from the T-score calculated against a national cohort of 40K to 50K per year.
it depends on which school. some SAP schools' internal T-scores have historically being always lower than actual PSLE t-score, year after year -
Considering DSA…Will go to the open house first before deciding. Thanks for the advice!

Sorry for the super wet blanket. When my boys were in P6, the vice-P advised us against even trying to calculate the T-score based on the cohort of 300-400 students as it can be motivating or demoralising, depening on which end of the T-score one gets.
If the so-called ‘self-calculated T-score’ is high, it may give the child a false sense of security as the real T-score for the PSLE might be very different from that of the so-called, ‘self-calculated T-score’ calculated based on the child’s results in school and also, one has to take into account different schools have different standards in making, so a 80+ in School A need not necessarily be equal to a 80+ in School B. -

That's why I go around lecturing my friends about studying.And some of the responses they give me were usually this: \"But you so smart,third in standard leh.So scared for what.\" Then my lecture will continue about competing against the whole of Singapore.Even my teacher does the lecture yet it doesnt seem to affect my friends,my bestfriend even said she probably failed her mt paper 1 for SA1 and said she will get C for english. Another said to wish her luck in failing her maths.-_-Sorry for the super wet blanket.

Sighs.... Sorry to sidetrack.:P -

that is the reason why I said to vanilla she is competing against GEP students as well as those whose marks are in the 90s ..... and whose internal t-scores have always been lower than actual PSLE t-scores. FYI, that SAP school whose students in the range of 90s for EMSC only have 255 to 263 as internal t-scores ..... and traditionally at PSLE they do manage to get another 15 to 20 in t-scoresSorry for the super wet blanket.

however, some schools do give out internal t-scores from P5 onwards, giving the highest / lowest / median marks as well as the SD, and the individual subject t-scores. that way, parents have a feel of where the kids stand
