Didn't the news report that 70-80% of students end up with at least A/A* for PSLE for MT? That's why there was no basis to remove MT as a required subject for psle t-score calculation either.

Agree with you, only less than 20% of students could not score A or better grade, the best performance among all subjects.

Hi Brenda10,


From what I observed, its not difficult to get A for english, but tougher to get A STAR.

Yes. Just to share:

English 44.3%
Maths 43.3%
Science 43.2%
Chinese 81.2%[/quote]Thank you for sharing. Like that have to focus more in the other 3 subject lah.

Hi Leanne

I also think so. If want to score A* have to do extremly well in Paper 2.

If most people get A and A* for Chinese, and a child gets only B, then his T-score could be badly affected. PSLE is really the most challenging exam, one has to do well in all four subjects relative to his/her cohort in order to score well. All the best to those taking PSLE!
