This is just an estimate. The range of 0.7 to 0.75 is to account for the error of margin taking into consideration the different schools/ level of difficulty, etc. If you want to be conservative, then just use 0.7 as your lower estimate.
Can I please check with experienced PSLE parents...
My DS is from a neighbourhood school, and when I compare his prelims papers to that of the top school prelim papers recently, I found that all his papers were much easier. Does anyone know if it's still accurate to take 0.7 to 0.75 to calculate his T score, or will easy papers be \"off the charts\". Also wanted to know how do the parents arrive at this 0.7 to 0.75 range.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
The 0.7 to 0.75 was basically from all the feedback over the years and most scores fall within that range. Having said that, there are obviously corner cases in which students did exceptionally well vs their prelim scores and vice versa.
So just take this as an approximate gauge of roughly where the score will fall between. It doesn't really affect or impact the final score and the child should be pushing hard at this last lap regardless of what this predictor says. -

Hi parents!, I have a question regarding situational writing. During writing, should the child write dates such as 15 October 2020 as fifteen October 2020 and should they write 9 a.m. as nine in the morning? Thanks in advance

She managed to get C for Prelim.
Hi Yen77,Yen77\" post_id=\"1968265\" time=\"1585029878\" user_id=\"182692:
:nosebleed: my girl keeps failing her science. What do I do?? Always by few marks. SA1 is coming soon. PSLE is 5 months away.
Sorry to hear that! What's the breakdown of her exam marks for the MCQ and OEQ Sections?
Generally speaking, Science MCQs will be the first place to target to make improvements. But it really depends, it could also be her OEQ pulling her down. You might like to take a look at https://studysciencesmart.com/get-free-pdf-5-sure-fire-ways-to-stop-losing-marks/ if her OEQ is weak.
In any case, PM me if you'd like further guidance since time is tight for her. but don't give up just yet, still can make progress in 5 months! :rahrah: -

Same, my DS was also taught that way in school. Eg, \"..... the incident took place on 15 October 2020 at 9 a.m in the morning.\"

My girl got 90 for English,100 for math, 83 for science, 87 for Chinese and 64 for HCL for prelims. Is there anyway to gauge her tscore? Her prelims were relatively hard.

Hi, anyone can share the past year 作文考题 for both CL / HCL?
Any good guess for this year topics? Thank you! -
