Hi,


PSLE score is the score of only 1 exam. Last yr my son appealed and entered DHS. He might be among the lowest score in the school but thru he consistent work he was top 5 in his class beating the others who scored much higher than him in PSLE. So work hard and enjoy yr sch life and dun think negatively. Cheers

Yes, PSLE scores aren't necessarily Predictive of sec sch success. My son DSAed into ACSI IP thru the HAST. his PSLE score wouldn't even have earned him a place in the O level track. He's been scoring 40 points n above the past 2 years, n picked up 1st prize in the school's creative essay writing competition. This year he came in 3rd in class, beating one of the top 10 PSLE scorers in his year. He's no mugger toad either; he's very active in sports CCAs n prefectorial duties.

My psychologist friend tells me achievement tests (as opposed to aptitude tests) are poor predictors of future success, so don't worry if your PSLE scores aren't stellar. It simply means you aren't as well prepared as others. It's like music exams- scoring distinction doesn't necessarily make you a good musician if all you did all year was practise your exam pieces to perfection at the expense of a wider repertoire. it simply means you've prepared those pieces well.

One huge difference too. The HAST or even the GAT (non-verbal) tests would tend to favour those who are poor in mother tongue. No mother-tongue tests in those aptitude tests!!!!!!!!

Something must be changed at PSLE level

Hi, I do not think there is something wrong with the primary education or PSLE. It is natural that PSLE benifits the early bloomers. Solving problems with models is a very good training for primary school students. Besides, they really have difficulty in understanding algebra.

MOE is to blame to form such kind of IP programs because it is the IP program that exclude most of the late bloomers from the IP-based junior colleges.

Know of two students from same neighbourhood schools in the north. Both hve ordinary PSLE scores, did well in their 0-level and scored seven distinctions in 2009 A-level exam. Both had obtained max unis rank pt-90.

Our system allows for late bloomers. No worries.

Totally agree with Innovate. There are many paths to success. IP or Non IP , A level or IB Diploma etc etc....the goal is to enter a good Uni and a good faculty.

Help! :?: My kids are 12 years old this year and will be having their PSLE this year. According to their Primary 5 SA2 results, they will get at least 240. We live in the north. Any secondary schools to recommend? Thank you.

Have you tried MOE's School Information Service website at http://app.sis.moe.gov.sg/schinfo/index.asp? It helps you identify a school using different search parameters such as location, PSLE T-score, CCA offered, academic and non-academic achievements, etc.

All the best to your child's PSLE!

Just wondering, how did you estimate the Tscore as 240?
