You can go to this website https://sis.moe.gov.sg/ and search your choice of school under View School Details
Anyone know where to get the medium T-score for the respective secondary schools? Remember seeing a table somewhere.. prefer to use medium T-score than COP when evaluating the academic standard of the schools. Thanks.
(i.e. https://postimg.cc/62gWF1mg ,That is RGS.)
(https://postimg.cc/gxXfT2Wz, this is NYGH's.)
Hope this helps!

Yes,

the Median Tscore is definitely more useful info, than merely COP, because then we will know at least 50% of the entire new Sec 1 cohort entered the Secondary school, at which Tscore ?
COP :
provided only the LOWEST minimum entry Tscore into the school before that very last candidate secured the last seat and gets Cut-off,
ie. the bottom of the ocean candidate so to speak, whereas
Median Tscore tell me more about the performance of the Sec 1 cohort
The only reliable trusted source for this wanted info, has to come from MOE herself , after MOE captured and compiled data from more than > 40,0000+ Psle students, in last year 2019 batch.
You can google
\" SIS (School information system)\" ; followed by name of that respective Secondary school which you are interested in,
the Median Tscore info will appear, beside the Cut-off-Tscore for that school.
Afraid that u need to do it on an individual school basis, obtained the info captured, then type into an Excel spreadsheet yourself, & save the spreadsheet
E.g.
here is Median Tscore for Hwa Chong Secondary, in last year 2019 psle batch , where
257 : was the Cut-off-point, while
261 : was the Median Tscore

Can kindly share how to use the median score for school selection ?

The COP is the most important factor, as it determines whether you can/can't go. Some people may not want to select a school if you only met the COP. This could be due to a number of factors; don't want to be below average, always feel stress of trying to keep up with others, fewer opportunities to represent school in competitions/selected for special programmes, etc.
Can kindly share how to use the median score for school selection ?
Thus, if you want to be around average can try for a school where your score is more in-line with the median. A few caveats to this are:
a) the COP and median may move up and down a few points each year due to demand and test difficulty. Targeting last year's median may only mean so much when you actually get there.
b) for some of these schools, there isn't that large of a spread between the COP and Median. I.e. there isn't really that big of a difference among most students' ability (say those scoring between i) COP and ii) 2 x Median - COP). Work ethic, focus, etc may be as big of a factor in how these students perform.
There's no right or wrong answer here (COP or Median). All depends on what you are comfortable with. -

While median does say where the majority of the student’s score lies, it’s of limited practical use.
Can kindly share how to use the median score for school selection ?
Except for some outliers, most schools COP-median spread is within 5 points. In practical terms, there’s no significant difference (in terms of academic abilities) between two students separated by 5 points. -

Thanks SG_KP1 and Floppy for sharing !

Just one question, on PSLE result day, will the form teacher issue the result slip+documents students-by-students? On avg how long it will take per student (2-3mins)? Coz, my DS is almost the last among 40 students… so curious whether we have to wait for more than an hour in school.
