Usually scores 85 to 90 for all the schools’ prelim papers and past PSLE papers.

Need to put on a brave front and cheer the kids on. There’s still 2 more papers to go.


It is awfully sad to hear a child cry because of an exam.

Console the kid that he’s not alone so his t score will not be adversely affected if everyone finds is tough, better still, if Mean is Low and SD is High, you nay find yourself getting higher t score even if u can’t get 91in raw score for instance

That's a very strong pupil....gosh i wonder how the weaker ones find it then...

[doodbug]

More important to find out how the child is than how the child fared/performed (this is a done deal), and to encourage and support the child through the next 4/5 days…

The Singapore education system is tough and rigourous; the system has thankfully, created many pathways so PSLE is not deterministic.

Zappy, u said Not true ?

If not true, then how come those P6 students in their computation of Tscore, using recent 2019 Prelim results, do not divide by 4 equally ? Instead, they computed based on a higher percentage allocated to languages ? Does it mean that their computation for Tscore is wrong, then ?

I dont know who are \"those p6 students\" and why they calculated a higher % allocated to languages. I have no idea who you are referring to. But if they did put a higher weightage onto languages, then yes, I'd say their computation is wrong.

I quoted various schools P6 briefing notes in my post and it is clearly written in there that ALL 4 subjects have equal weightage.

The calculation of T-score is very clear and transparent. There is a formula that is publicly known. The Tscore for each subject is based on the student's own score and dependent on the average and standard deviation of the cohort. The total T-score is then the sum of all the 4 subjects' T-scores. That's it - no double weightage.

Yep, past 2-3 decades have always been 100% per subject. I think parents could be confused by some posts regarding MTL's importance because of 'wider delta' theory, 'narrower bell bottom', and so on.
