What is lowest PSLE aggregate you can score with 4A*?

[MOE Hater]

Sure a high mean pulls down one’s T-score but it usually means a low SD which pulls up the T-score. I agree there will be a lot of ties but when it comes to the highest, i don’t see why does anyone have to be so overly concerned. It won’t be affected right?

understand T-score is calculated up till 13 decimals for central posting.

hmmm...

What happens when two kids get the same raw scores for all 4 subjects? :?

Near impossible. However, if it happens with both kids fighting for the same school, I will let both get into the school (the school got buffer one) - unfortunately I am not in charge. :lol:

This was discussed last year also during PSLE - conclusion : unlikely to happen.

I agree. Someone from MOE told me that it is near impossible for two people to have the same aggregate.

I was initially told (years ago) it was up to 6 decimals and I was already like :shock: .

Over the years, it seems like the digits behind the decimal point have increased (due to \"inflation\"? :idea: ). I wonder if it is really needed for 15 decimal places

but anyway, these days it is all in the super computer in MOE, they can chop off at whichever decimal places they want

If T-score = 245, shld DS choose VS, Anglican High or Tanjong Katong?

If T-score = 240, shld DS choose Anglican or Tanjong Katong?
We are in the East.
Any advice? :?
