All About T-Score
-
Personally, I feel that if my kids can do at least 230 & above, they would have some decent school choices.

250 & above = top 10%karenmok:
Someone told me that any score lower than 250 is the end of the world - at least for your child. Is this true? Sorry, I am new in Singapore and hence don't understand all this. Thanks for help...
not true
250 and above = top 10% of the cohort
not in top 10% is NOT the end of the world
people who told you so were just trying to pull your leg or trying to impress you or scare you
What about top 5%? 265 & above? -
@karenmok;
Lol! Who on earth told you that? That's pretty insulting to those who get lower than 250 you know
its like implying our future is GONE.
It depends on the person on what is a \"good\" PSLE score.
I think those people who did better in PSLE than their usual work and exams can be considered good.
Practice makes perfect. Improvement is the key. -
@jtoh;
The parents have too high expectations. They can't set such high goals for their children when not like they themselves can make it... Getting 250 and up is very stressful.
Btw, karenmok are u a new Singaporean PR?
if so, welcome to SG

What about top 5%? 265 & above?[/quote]approximately :
top 10% = 250 and above ==> IP schools, about 4000 kids
EESIS is top 1/3 of IP schools, usually around 260, hence 260 and higher = top 3%
265 or higher could be the top 1%
on average, 1% = 400 kids, 10% = 4000 kids, each cohort approx 40k to 42k kids -
Even ITE is NOT the end of the world !!

Then, what is consider the end of the world to you? -
i think 250 is important if you wish to get into the top schools/ ip schools. i think you have to get 255+ to get into an ip school.
but otherwise, 235+ is decent. with 235+, one can get into top 30 schools in sg
psle is not too important. one can do poorly for psle, go to a neighbourhood school and if he/she tops the school, that may be better than doing well for psle -

PSLE is very crucial to most of the Kiasu parents if they want their kids to go to top schools or the through train programme. All SAP schools COP are above 230 & IP schools will be above 250.i think 250 is important if you wish to get into the top schools/ ip schools. i think you have to get 255+ to get into an ip school.

Following is the COP (2012) required for the lower end SAP schools. 236 (Nan Chiau, Chung Cheng Main), 243 (Anglican, Nan Hua) 247 (Catholic), 249 (CHIJ St Nicholas) & 231 (Maris Stella).
