[quote=\"fruitteller\"]Hi All,


With the PSLE results, does anyone know what sort of marks are classified under A*/A/B/C... ??
Sorry, hope i am making sense here.

Just preparing myself...hahahaha...my ds MT is really not that good...so wondering if it will be a 'B' or maybe even a \"C\"

Some ideas on the score/grading system from the experts here will be much appreciated!
:thankyou:

Hi
Based on what my older two went thru, about 40% of the cohort gets A and A* for English, Math and Science. For Chinese, about 80% of cohort gets A or A*. Ultimately it is the actual T score for each subject that counts.

Hi Fuzzy Bear, Thanks for attempting to answer my doubts, appreciate it.
But i was wondering what could possibly be the range of marks for these grades. read in another thread that A* = 91 and above. If thats true....my son chinese will bound to be no more than a \"B\" i think.[/quote]Basing on Most Sch Scoring system ....
A* - 91 and Above
A - 75 to 90
B - 65 to 74
So there's a Large Range of Marks that can Qualify as A ....

Hi Brenda,

Hi Brenda,

Kids are quite similar in a way, they will start discussing esp mcq once is done.Son also talking about one mcq, which is quite close in meaning.I Joked that with him that need one extra step of thinking beyond his language ability....hahaha


Do have a good break.I believe next week all the prelim results will be out.DS math teacher was in the midst of releasing the results yesterday.

Do keep us posted on the moves...

Hi sista,

Yeah That's Why some parents commented that in PSLE,
even if get 4A could be a low 225,
and some kids getting 2A and 2B can be getting above 240 ....

So Going by numbers of A's, B's, A* could be Misleading ....

My friend dd got 2A and 2B and her T-score was 209! :nailbite:

Hi Brenda,


Exactly.Each MCQ is two marks, if its only one mark, then, dont think they will feel so much.DS also toying between the two cheng yu for option .I din want to tell him the answer cos I dont get to see the full question.

All the best to your dd math results today.

Cheers,
