My son took PSLE in 2013, he scored A* for MAths and English and he was the top 10%. If the child's result is the top 10%, he would be offered to take Japanese, French and etc .
Sorry for asking such a stupid question.
I was under the impression that the top 10percent of marks will be Astar. Am I wrong? -

yes i used this simple way, it worked out for us few yrs ago. a parent told me about this old rumoured calculation earlier. bascically it is x 0.75 . :scratchhead: But we must guess the kid score based on their papers mistakes made

In summary , this the feel /view i see:
Eng & Chinese - Manageable (chinese not as hard as expected )
Math - Not a real Difficult papers throughout but defintely not that easy & straight forward
Sci - some says easier than last 2yr/ manageable ; some say difficult (?)
last time for my elder child few yrs ago , we estimated based :
Eng , Chinese , Math + sci avg score for two subjects . over 100% --> i did manage to get the T score -quite a close estimation for us then
Take for example raw score are:-
- EL : 90
- CL : 92
- Maths : 98
- Science : 86
Estimated Aggregate will be 90 + 92 + (98+86)/2 = 274
This is a gap from the estimation 0.70 to 0.75 (if I take midpoint of 0.725), where (90+92+98+86) x 0.725 = 265
I know abt the formula of T score, but din use . cos unknown sd and avg marks etc -
For HC, anyone know what is the distinction mark ranging from based in past years? Is it 75% or 80%?

Above 80 for distinction, to add 3 points.
For HC, anyone know what is the distinction mark ranging from based in past years? Is it 75% or 80%? -
For Qn 26, (MCQ) about light sensor, wooden block and lamp, anyone who answered 4 ?

The score will be what the score will be. In my view, there’s no point in trying to calculate it now or going over the questions. What’s done is done. Now try to focus on something else until results day!

To ans ash103 question, i also put 4, but don think its correct

I agree! Let’s take a well-deserved break and do what we have not been able to do due to PSLE. Good luck to those taking HMTL tomorrow! Last paper :rahrah: jiayou!
