Exemption from MT (Chinese)
-
Thank you everyone for the feedback :thankyou:
I very much would like him to continue learning Chinese. I'm just thinking of not taking the national exams. If he is allowed to continue his lessons without taking the Chinese PSLE, then he gets to learn the language without having his T-score affected. Of course I'm assuming now that Chinese will not become his strong subject later, which I'm actually quite sure.... but how the T-score is calculated without MT is another mystery.... :?
I think I will see how he is coping in P3 next year, as that is another new level before I decide then.... -

Er, just add the 3 subject together for the t-score lah. Not difficult..... but how the T-score is calculated without MT is another mystery.... :?

But that would make the T-score of those exempted from MT much lower than those taking 4 subjects. When it comes to posting using T-scores, then how? -

yes this is the reason why most students are only advised to drop mt if they fail like mad.... cos it pulls down their t-score.. ur ds is not, so dropping is not advisable...Gxmas wrote:

How so ? Eg. Adjusted tscores for 3 subjects is 90 each , then the PSLE aggregate would be 270 . If the child is not exempt from his supposedly poorer subject and get. 70 adjusted t score for MT , then adding top the 3 other subject's adjusted tscores of 90 each. , his PSLE aggregate will be 255 instead.Gxmas wrote:

That’s how my ds classmate can get high 260+with only 3 subjects. Another friend ds also got high 260 with 3 subjects .

That means the T-score of each subject will change depending on how many subjects are taken? in ur eg, if MT is exempted and adjusted T-score of 3 subjects is 90 each, so total T-score is 270. This i got it
But if MT is exempted and the raw scores for the other 3 subjects remain the same, how to get 255? :?
Appreciate it if you could share, thanks! -

Appreciate it if you could share, thanks![/quote]Every subject will have an individual adjusted T-score. It doesn't change. It is adjusted based on each subject's performance for that individual cohort each year. Then you have to add the scores together to make it over 300. So, just add 90, 90, 90,70, then multiply by 3/4. -

eng=90, math=90, sci=90, chi=50
agreg is (90+90+90+50)x3/4=240
but if drop chi, with the same results for all other 3 subject,
agreg is (90+90+90) = 270
hope it helps.
