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

Thanx for the info!

Dont know le ...... Anyone able to use a microscope to peep to the marking centers.. :rotflmao:

Microscope??? That's for looking at cells. :evil: Using Binoculars or Telescope is more appropriate :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

:rotflmao: :rotflmao: .... Peisah Peisah .. Have been revising science - bateria - microscope stuff with my p3 dd ..... U are right pen88n should be telescope or bino :rotflmao:

[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.

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 lah

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

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

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:

that is right

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

[skss]

does anyone knows how the bell curve for the marks are distributed?
