Hi MOE Hater,

Impressive results you've gotten for prelims. What is important is to keep the momentum going and 270+ will not be a problem for u to achieve.

:slapshead: This is just what Moe_hater is not supposed to hear!

MOE_Hater smarty pants,
:nunchuk: Dont u dare u get complacent
I will not hesitate to :spank: (daddy dear's protection not withstanding)

And MOE will look like an angel compared to me :x

So move it. And why are u on KSP ??

Based on my experience with my kids, your estimated PSLE T-score will be 255 to 265. Must work harder for mother tongue and science to get A*, especially mother tongue (unless your MT is not Chinese). Your T-score will be dragged down by mother tongue.

On the average, a kid with all A* (not those super outstanding type) will get about 270 to 273.

it also depends whether is low A* or high A* right ?

I think the t-score increase between low A* and high A* could be sizeable due to the number of SD involved ?

[MOE Hater]

There usually is a big jump. the number of people scoring a low A* is usually much higher than the no.who get a high A*. Then again, it boils down to the difficulty of the paper.


BTW, my MT is not chinese. I take NTIL.

Their T-scores range from 270 to 273.

Good that you are not taking Chinese. You will not be \"KILLED\" by the exceptionally high mean score.

You are right that the T-score depends on the degree of difficulty of the paper. However, if a certain paper is difficult, \"they\" will moderate the marks - like what happen last year for math paper. The end result is that the normal A* students would still be getting similar kind of T-scores as other years, maybe a little lower. However, for those who got high A* for the difficult paper, their T-score will be way above 280 (unlike a normal year where the all the papers are normal, the top T-score would be usually less than 285).

deleted. sorry posted wrongly.

[verykiasu2010]

In any case, one year’s t-score is NOT comparable with any other years : the questions are different, though the mean, median, SD may fluctuate within a certain band.


the whole business of the t-score is to rank one student against ALL his peers in the same cohort and that is it - to determine what is his position among the 40,000+ candidates, and the t-score is in 15 (not 13) decimal places.

this year’s 285 may be of higher / lower aggregate marks than any other years. there is no comparison

if everyone scores full marks for every subject, the perfect t-score is 200, because the mean = median, and SD = zero
