With regards to my previous posting that A* is NOT PREFIX at raw marks of 91 and above at PSLE, unlike sch exams.
(I am very doubtful that my gal 's pri sch teacher,
as well as teachers from various schs who had told their pupils' parents,
and all of these teachers had provided us the wrong info),
my observations of the surrounding PSLE pupils, deepened my belief ,
i seek clarification from MOE.........

Quoted MOE’s reply, would like to share with u, parents here …….
Thank you for your email.

We would like to share that the cut-off marks for the various grades are determined by the Ministry of Education after a consideration of various factors.
However, standards are maintained in the determination of cut-off marks for the various grades and the cut-off marks are confidential.

Fortunately, i still have my common sense in place......

Thanks for posting your clarification with Moe with regards to the A* marks. This question has been in my mind when often heard of friends of mine been talking and discussing about students getting A*/A in psle. i have been a silent reader in this forum as i want to find out more about the exams system here with 3 girls, especially psle, the big talk in town. Thanks to all parents who have been sharing selflessly all the tips and facts about psle.

u're welcome........

1) Go to http://app.sis.moe.gov.sg/schinfo/SIS_AdvSearch.asp

2) Enter these parameters
a) Level of Education : Secondary
b) For PSLE Aggregate (Only applicable for Secondary Schools)
i) Choose \"Normal Academic\" for Course
ii) Enter \"200\" for PSLE Aggregate

3) Click on Submit button

You will get \"No Schools Found. Please select again.\"

If you repeat step 2 and 3 but choose \"Express\" for Course, you will get a list of schools.

Also if you look at the results, you will notice that most schools cutoff for Express is 188.

I do knw of someone who scored above 200, qualified for express but opted for NA becos his parents wanted him to b placed in a better sch where the cut-off points was higher than his T-score

This is interesting !

Did the student get posted to the NA stream (i.e. he indicate he wants to go NA when he selects the 6 choices) or the parent appeals to MOE to let the child goes to NA instead of Express.

I knw he wanted to choose NA right after psle result was out, and he did end up in the sch he had originally wanted, but i do not knw if it was by moe posting or thru appeal. Can u actually indicate if u r applying for express or NA during S1 posting exercise?
