Oh dear.Brenda10:
My two friends' son and daughter both got 4A each and their t-score were 238 and 239 respectively in last year.
last year, one of my gal's classmate scored 4 As
intially, her mum when heard her \"4 A\" was very happy.....
but later realised that the T-score was only 22X

:shock: . 4A could be 238-239 and also could be 22X...., different almost 10 marks.Brenda10:

Once you score a B in any subject your chances of scoring more than low 240 is very slim.[/quote]have seen people with 4As only 23x
that causes some panic to some parents now ...verykiasu2010:

Too bad he did not have DSA. I heard some GEP students were caught this way too, getting 240+ and no DSA. -

the mean for math and CL are usually higher than Sci and EL, and SD is smaller than Sci & ELbtw atutor,
I have read ur posts before about t-score. At that point never understood what you meant by low score in maths /Chinese can pull t-score down a lot.
Only when i palyed around with scores, SDs and means i realised how true ur conclusions were . So Thanks U.
Maths today- waaaaaaa, cant bear the tension.
seems like there is a correlation between CL & MA
but bear in mind the 0.712 is an observation only, an estimate
every year the mean and SD for every subject fluctuates within certain range -

however, as MA is expressed via EL, those strong in EL will also have an advantage in MA but sometime the question setters play on language for the MA questions, which is totally unnecessary
MA should be MA and not a test of EL -

actually, the biggest anxiety would be on the results day itself

Came across a report that about 10% of the student population are \"foreigners\", PR..........
seems like there is a correlation between CL & MA
These students are so good in CL and MA that getting 100 is chicken. For MA they are ahead of local students by at least 1 year in terms of coverage and yet they usually join a class that is younger than them by 1 year - so that they can catch up in EL. No need to comment about CL.
With additional foreign students scoring A* (on top of our own local A*), we can guess what will happen to the \"mean\" and our T-score if we don't do well in CL or MA. I guess that was why the proposal to give less weightage to CL was made. Unfortunately many don't understand the good intention and made lots of noise.
