Yeah, there wouldn't be any accurate calculations as the people taking the exams are different and the exam standard is different. For example NYPS top normally ranges between 275-290, yet in Prelim this year, the highest is only in the 250s.

last year's prelims was 25x - 26x

I suspect those schools with GEP classes will face such range of T-scores for prelims as the addition of the \"top 1%\" will skew the Mean and SD of the entire school cohort, esp. since the GEPpers account for a reasonably high % within the small school cohort (compared with national cohort).

I think other then the higher scores of geppers … Usually the top few classes of students of these Gep holding schools, also can score pretty well …

Totally agree. That's exactly the case in DD's school.

Yes. The top mainstream classes do very well in PSLE.

Does anyone know, for T-score, how are the scores for students taking foundation subject treated?


Thanks

They take the same paper so i presume there should be no difference?

hi, anyone has the ‘latest’ T-score formula? Thanks.

the formula never changes

the mean and SD changes every year according to the cohort's performance

Hi,


Anyone know what the SOP is if the child only takes 3 subjects? My son has exemption from MT. All this T-score calculations is beyond me so would really appreciate if someone can help me with it pls?

If we estimate his marks to be 75-80 for each of the 3 subjects?

Thanks.
