Microscope??? That's for looking at cells. :evil:Pen88n:

Dont know le ...... Anyone able to use a microscope to peep to the marking centers.. :rotflmao:
Using Binoculars or Telescope is more appropriate :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

That was two years ago, maybe things are different this year, with so many boys choosing RI over HCI, from what I have read in the posts here.[/quote]no lahngbrdad:
[quote=\"MummySTay\"]CO for RI n RGS means only need to pass n go express stream, which is 200. I recall coming across one child who got WL from HCI, n requirement was need to score 250.
Doubt they will do that.
Now they are like practically begging people to accept the CO, or those with HCI waitlist to put them as first choice.
Even making phone calls to the top 50 on the WL telling them it's as good as CO.
not in any year
definitely some mis-reporting lah
I still recall my personal conversation with the HCI principal - no such thing as min 240 for those with DSA CO. Just 200 will do -

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 ?[/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[/quote]
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 ...[/quote]
you are assuming raw score for each subject is 100 marks, seems reasonable to achieve 296 -

she is ok and I can see her \"capability\" from this

Hi, i'm new here.
just to check if basing on the above mean and std dev, a person with all 50 marks for each subject will get 134??? Is that right? :nailbite: :nailbite: -

also, you would note that for Ma & Sc, the mean is lower and with the SD higher, the 50 marks raw score translate into higher t-score, given the set of numbers discussed here
it is some what varied from year to year, but I suspect not much -
does anyone knows how the bell curve for the marks are distributed?

Verysuperkiasu:
This set of figures definitely wrong. SD for math is too low.
yeah, the one above seems quite close to the NY one except the sd for math very different. If paper is tough like 2009, should the sd be high or low?ngbrdad:
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.
I think someone calculated it may end up with quite a few kids with T score above 300. -
