30% got 270 and above? it is impossible.


My dd did well this year and achieved top 15 in RGPS, she said that around 5-7 girls got 270 and above in her class (6E). the average score in 6E is 262, she did not know how many girls got 270 and above in 6F and GEP classes.

Congrats wmd. :congrats:

Yes, school should've announced it. We were all a little surprised Abi and Suria weren't top. My dd did alright. Within expectations. How about your dd2? Which school is she applying for?

Overall this year the T-score for Tamil taking kids is not that high. Suspect that the average for Tamil paper went high compared to chinese paper pulling down their T-score. This is quite unfortunate.

I heard RGPS has done very well in this year PSLE. More than 30% got 270 and above. :rahrah:

Hi KSP,

Where did u hear this from? Agree w/ wmd and also think its impossible. 30% is about 140 pupils. …that’s a huge number.

wmd,


Which secondary school is your dd going to? I assume she was offered DSA into NUSH? Is she taking that up or appealing to RGS?

I was told it was on TODAY newspaper a few days after PSLE result released.

Considering every year about 70 girls end up in RGS and another 25-30% go to NYGH it may be true that this year about 140 girls obtained >265 is possible. As for >270…could be true if the overall standard has been pulled up by the ‘difficult’ math paper.


Does anyone know if this year’s average at RGPS is still 235? Hope it is higher this year.

Hi turquoise,

my daughter only got a DSA offer from NYGH, not NUSH and RGS, she refused NYGH as she did not like Chinese language, and waited for PSLE result until 26 Nov 2009. finally, she achieved her goal as expected.

She put the 1st chiose of S1: RGS

Hi wmd

Thanks. Seems like the average has dropped abit. Not so good with maths..............I guess when they say average it means majority get around 233?

That's good that your dd waited for her PSLE results to get into her ideal school. Congrats! I assumed she was offered NUSH because she obtained Platinum in the Math Olympiad.
