[quote=\"lee_yl\"]Is 285 the highest tscore for last year PSLE?

285+3

If that girl went to SAP school, it will be reflected as 288, if the girl went to non-SAP school, it will be reflected as 285.

:whut: 288 ?![/quote]Highest t-score recorded is 294 (2007 - SHPS), follows by 292 (1993 - NYPS). Post-2011, names and schools of top pupils are no longer being announced.
Some of the top pupils from the rest of the years are https://www.youngparents.com.sg/education/psle-top-scorers-where-are-they-now/.

:whut: 288 ?!

To be more accurate, it is 285 + 3. The girl went to a non-SAP school, so it should be recorded as 285 for that school. But because she DSA-ed, this highest score was not officially reflected on the MOE website [/quote]wah, how u know?

[lee_yl]

Ya, it’s not officially recorded how you know?

So last year this PSLE top scorer from which primary school? GEP or MS?

just wonder how high these kids score for each subject... all almost perfect or perfect scores?

I suspect some of the scores input here are for the fun of it …it is not genuinely sharing the true scores …

Quick statistics lesson:


MEAN is the average. So the scores of all the students who were accepted into the school divided by the number of students
MODE is the number that has the most repeats. With the T-score this is not really relevant as there are invisible decimal places that make the numbers more unique and even if there is a score with the most repeats it doesn't really signify anything in this case
MEDIAN is the middle value, i.e. if you line up all the students who got in according to their T scores, the student who is right in the middle of this lineup is the one with the median score.

So taking Nanyang Girls for example.. COP 264.Highest 285..median 268..does it mean with 301 girls in the cohort..150 girls scored between 264 and 268 .1 girl 268 ( to make it simple) then another 150 girls scored between 269 and 285?

Yes, except you have to remember the affiliation bit. So if intake is say 300, and say 55 come from NYPS and make the grade and another 60 are offered DSA spots, then based on a COP of 264 and median of 268, it would mean that 300 - 55-60=185/2 --> the 93rd girl to qualify had a T score of 268. 92 girls scored between 264 and 268, and 92 other girls scored between 268 and 285.

BTW, last year highest score in my son's school (and I suspect in Singapore) was a girl who got 29something (?) +3. He's very sure. DSA-ed so not in the stats.
