Shall I appeal to MOE to check PSLE results?

[mellette]

A is from 75-90. A* is from 91 onwards. So 75 and 90 are both As’ but very far apart. I agree tt it’s likely low As. However, if this is bothering you, you can check with moe via the sch - some fees of around $48 to be paid.[/quote]


Yes indeed, if an A starts from 75 and A* from 91, I reckon he should be getting in the region from 235 onwards at the very least… not 230…
cos the 5-10 pts makes a big difference in the selection of schools. Dont wish to be penalised because of some MOE computation error and suffer the consequence.

Do I have to go back to his school to file the appeal?

Thanks vm

Hi


This reminds me of my results donkey years back. I had A*, A ,B , C and my score is 252. So I think it is really unnecessary to check.

as indicated by the various posts, the range is pretty wide.


but go ahead and do a check for peace of mind. it is better to have a confirmed answer than "oh, if only i have check with moe …" few months down the road.

I am thinking to check my son’s Maths result. His very good in Maths, however only had an A. Anyone know how long does it take for MOE/School to revert on their response, considering that we have to submit the selection by 1st Dec ?


Has anyone so far tried this path and there has been changes to the T-score ?

Thanks

Thanks vm[/quote]But I thought the A and A* varies for different subjects and years? Also, T-scores are used instead of raw score.
There are (3 A* 1A)s in my class with 250+, which is not possible to attain with just raw scores.

Could you elaborate more on the 2 words 'very good', how much does he usually get in school?

hi parents,

My son got A* for maths, A for English and A for Science , MT exempted and returned an aggregate of only 230 , whereas a class mate of his with the same results has an aggregate of 244..

Can anyparents enlighten me if there can be indeed a calculation error? the difference is just too wide ..my elder son who set for the PSLE last year had exactly the same As and returned with 244

What could be the lowest points given to an A* and A..

Should I appeal to the Ministry to recheck?

Thanks vm

I have a friend exempted from MT, 3 A*, 250+.
From her score, I would expect 2 A* 1A MT exempted to get 240s and 1 A* 2A MT exempted to get 230s and so on...

Well, after reading several threads and in particularly those on T score calculation… each subject is different and there is no standard was to what is the lowest score for A etc… reckon my sons T score is about right. Paying the ministry to return the same results without explaination is really a waste of talent. In any case we appealed to the school that he wanted as first choice and have gotten reply that he is accepted… so no more worries…

Hi, has anyone been successful in appealing for the review of PSLE results in recent years?
