INNOVATE:
For a while now, I've been puzzled by schools indicating that the National average PSLE is around 207. I thot that the avg T-score would be 200 by design. I fudged my 215 estimate; the unfudged score is 212 but decided that adding another 3 (out of the 7 difference) would be closer.hoskins8h
Your estimate is accurate. Occassionary I do see wrong figures/info being given in this forum but I choose to disregard it. With 37.5% of pupils unable to make the express stream cut, the mean PSLE T-score is approximately 205. The three best performing schools are NYPS,RGPS and TOA NAN.
No school has more than half of its pupils scoring 250 above.
My guess about top average T scores is probably NYPS although it's entirely anecdotal as I dont have data. MGS probably has slight edge over Tao Nan, and perhaps about same as RGPS (no data except 2010 \"aim\" which I take to be close to past performance).
%A/A* EL Maths Sci CL
2007 TaoNan 86.1% 71.5% 73.4% 90.8%
2010 RGPS aim 80.0% 80.0% 72.0% 93.0%
2007 MGS\t 90.6% 74.5% 81.3% 84.2%
Data comes from internet, estimates are my own. My child's school doesnt do T-score estimate so had to do my own estimates. It has been interesting speculating about each school's score based on publicly available data. Schools tend to be coy about avg T score and many only reveal the A/A* % which I think is useful to estimate the average T score. -
Yesterday got back all the test papers. Seeing the kind of mistake my girl made makes me
*Sigh*
From talking to friends understand that most school give the info on class ranking & level ranking, even for lower primary levels. Don't think RGPS practise this right?
However, looking at the class & level average score on the test papers, makes me :!: -
Yah saw all the exam scripts that dd brought back yesterday. Level average for all of them was full marks.
DD made some careless mistakes in her English paper but overall, I am very happy with her results.
Raffles did away with the class and level ranking long time ago. Prefer it that way as the ranking within the class may be demoralising for kids. -
No ranking but there is a class and level highest and average scores for the main papers for reference. I am quite happy with my girl’s results but heard that the real tough part will come in P3 next year…
Btw will there be school on 19th Nov P1 orientation day? No see any memos so far… -

Do u mean level highest or level average?? If average is full marks means everyone got full marks?? -
Have been thru the P1 registration, is in the Parent Volunteer group and have met many great mummies/daddies who fork out their precious hours to clock hours in order to get their girls into the school. We are all such wonderful parents.

There are usually 3 different scores on the test/exam sheets, your child’s, the class average and the level average. Most of the time you’ll see full marks under the level average. You won’t know what is the percentage of girls obtaining full marks. For me, I’ll look at the class average, as long as my girl’s marks is within the average score, I’m happy enough. Don’t stress them too much with all the different averages.
