            Been trying to find from the web the average mean for the eng, chinese, math & science & their SDs for year 2010 and 2009 but to no avail. Are they ever disclosed? Anyone knows?

              I hazard to guess these are as follows:

              EL mean = 77, SD = 9
              CL mean = 72, SD = 12
              MA mean = 61, SD = 17
              SC mean = 66, SD = 14

              These are the rounded up numbers for NYPS mainstream (excl GEP) for 2010 prelim and I know a number of people whose prelim t-scores are similar to actual PSLE t-score, +/- very little, and these people has been very consistent over the years, at least about 15 of them

                Do you happen to have the numbers for 2011 prelim ?

                  So this year's figure should be close to these as well ?
                  But how can the mean and SD at NYPS be the same as the national average ?

                    Do you happen to have the numbers for 2011 prelim ?[/quote]sorry no, but i think it is a good guesstimate for any years ...... the fluctuation could be just +/- very few marks, based on observation over the years

                      This is the figures supplied by Crazydad on the T score thread for 2009.


                      CL: Mean = 78, StdDev = 10
                      EL: Mean = 73, StdDev = 11
                      Math : Mean = 63, StdDev = 9
                      Sci : Mean = 67, StdDev = 12

                      He based it on the 2007 figures with similar style to 2009 ie difficult math, easy Chines and tricky Science. Sound familiar right ?

                      But the SD for math is way too low, and may end up giving a very false t score for math.

                        EL = 50 + 10 (100-77)/9 = 76
                        CL = 50 + 10 (100-72)/12 = 73
                        MA = 50 + 10 (100-61)/17 = 73
                        SC = 50 + 10 (100-66)/14 = 74
                        T-Score = 296

                        I used that to compute & got 296 for max score for 2011, is it too high ? seems out of reach, did I compute wrongly …
