an extract from the above asiaone article

The 2009 Primary six cohort is the first batch of pupils under Subject-based Banding who sat for the PSLE.

Subject-based Banding, a refinement to the previous streaming system, was implemented from the 2008 Primary 5 cohort to give pupils the flexibility of taking a mix of subjects at Standard or Foundation levels depending on their strengths and abilities in each subject.

any idea how does this work?
is it a combination of foundation & standard subjects to arrive at T-score?
if one student takes all standard subjects & the other a combination, how is the comparison done?

thanks for your advice

sleepy,
some parts of subject-based banding is covered here.
http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6659&highlight=banding
i believe that the 'points' for foundation subjects will be lower than those doing standard subjects (eg an A in foundation subject will still yield lower score if compared to a B in standard subject) as the rationale for implementing subject based banding is to aid students weak in certain areas to take up foundation subjects to pass the PSLE be it to proceed to NT or NA at the secondary school.
