      Hi,


      It comes across to me that 2008 PSLE results are more competitive. Student’s scores are very close to each other. But this year the results are very widespread. meaning the smart ones are really smart, getting 270 and above. There are only a handful of people who gets 260-269 and majority are in the range of 250-255.

      Do you see the same pattern in your kid’s school ?

      Anyone knows where can we get information on score breakdown ? I am keen to find out % of students who gets 270 and above, 260-269, 255-259 and etc.

      cheers,

        Is the distribution curve given together with the PSLE results slip ? My son did not receive anything but I saw some students holding colorful brochures ..... which he was not given.

        If there is a distribution curve, then may be able to estimate # student > 260 # student > 255 and so on , and ===>

        If too low quantity than 2008 for >260 significantly, does it implies that COP of good schools may drop this year ? Else will not have enough student to fill up the good schools.

        Just wonder, son not affected. Any experts in this area ?

            Agree totally, experienced the same in my son's school. In fact the principal even mentioned that this year's results seem to have fewer pupils above 260 in many schools. Lets hope the COP comes down a couple of points in the top schools.

            When will the official COP's be published so that parents can decide on appeal process ? Can any of the parents with older children help ...

              I'm like the top pupil in my school for 6 years, and I was, true indeed still the top. But with an aggregate of only 257 (@#$%!!!!). :stupid: I think you're right. And it's because of the maths. Those who are in the \"A\" and the \"A*\" standard all don't know the same questions, hence all of them dropping to A, or getting a low A*. Those who are the elites knew most of the questions, and got an A* ( a high one, as most people don't know the questions they know) and the score got widespread. The \"middle A*\" had very less people.

                Stumbled upon a blog which calculates the T score.

                http://road-to-psle.blogspot.com/2007/11/how-psle-aggregate-and-t-scores-are.html
                Hope it is useful!

                  The COP for this year will only be known on Dec22. ie. When MOE will inform the schools the lowest aggregate of the student posted to the school through Central Posting. You may call the schools to enquire on Dec 22. It will not be updated on the website till much later.

                    Original Title: T-Score vs grade


                    why is his T-score so low only 192 -> Eng - B, Chinese - A, Maths B and Sci A?
                    His classmate got Eng, Maths, Sci - B and Chinese A but score 204? 😢

                      I belive the range of each grade can be quite wide. So low A and low B could have lesser t-score than another student with high A and high B.


                      My son’s friend has lower grades than him but T-score is higher.

                        don't mind to share his grade, trying to do comparsion on score on subject vs the T-score. :stupid:

                        Do you think if I request to review the score is helpful?
