All About T-Score

[ppnqq]

My friend was asking if all subjects scored between 50-60/100 with a possible fail subject, any chance of getting into Express? I told her it depends on the total aggregate score and the school’s cut off points for the streams, am I right? Please correct me if I am wrong.


My friend also wishes to know where can she find the guide on the points for the streams i.e., how many points to Express, NA and NT.

Thank you.

Thank you.

COP for Express is 200 or 188, depending on the school. I don't know what the COP for NA and NT is.

hi, how if my son get the following scores for all his subjects result, what is the T-score ? Can someone please help me as I'm very confuse on this. Thanks


English - 74.2 Mean : 65.7 Max :92.1 Std dev 14.5
Chinese - 72.0 Mean : 71.4 Max : 98.9 Std dev 17.8
Mathematics - 64.5 Mean : 64.5 Max : 98.5 Std dev 17.7
Science - 73.5 Mean : 67.2 Max : 97.0 Std dev 16.0

If I use the formula : 50-10 * (score-Mean)/StdDev, my calculation is as follow :
English = 50-10 * (74.2-65.7)/14.5 = 23.45

is this the way to calculate ?? If not, how do I calculate the T-score, please help.

Thanks

Your formula is wrong. It is 50+10*(score - mean)/ StdDev.

English: 55.86
Chinese: 50.34
Maths: 50
Science: 53.94
Total T-score: 210.14

Hope this helps. Note this is just indicative for your sch as PSLE is based on national level so the spread might be a little different.

COP for Express is 200 or 188, depending on the school. I don't know what the COP for NA and NT is.

Sorry for the frankness, but I would venture to say it is very risky. You have to explain to your fren and the kid how T-score is computed, and it is not based on a passing mark of 50!

Express COP of 200 is based on a T-score of 50 per subject. If you work that out, it means every subject you are performing at the mean of the cohort, then you can get the total T-score of 200. In the case of an easy paper, the mean of the cohort may be higher than 60. If you are performing at 50-60, you are below the 50 mark.

I thought (please correct me if I am wrong) if you are between 190-200, you are allowed to choose between NA and Express.

Would that be available in the S1 posting guide to be given out by the primary schools after PSLE? At least can view the COP for NT, NA and Express for each sec sch.....

Ok, thank you for all of your suggestions and advises, will tell my friend about it but I think it is too late to do anything now because her child barely pass her subjects most of the time and now, I am also worried for my own since mine also not a high achiever, only slightly better than my friend's. Now I am really worried. :nailbite: :frustrated:

I all info shoould be available in that book, since it is the one given out by MOE(MOE takes care of all kids rt and not just the bright ones). BTW we can also find the info online at http://app.sis.moe.gov.sg/schinfo/SIS_AdvSearch.asp
Just as a random search I looked up Ahmed Ibrahim school. For NA the COP is 179 and for NT the COP is 134. Hope that helps those looking for this kind of info.

PSLE is these few days, so pls do not panic and made the kids worry. You have to give her more confidence now.

Plan to revise major concepts and pointers with her for each subject. Highlight common errors she made or potential pitfalls. Also teach her some strategies to do each paper well. Eg. for MCQ type of question, use elimination technique.

Good luck to your DD and your fren's DD for PSLE.

Agree with pen88. We need to be in supportive mood and not panic overself. My stratey is to be like a paddling swan. Its OK to :frustrated: :stompfeet: :rant: here on KSP, but we should not let it rub on our kids.
