[quote=\"jschai\"]Yah lah, with so many top scorers, that's why MOE does not want to publish anymore. Next year PSLE will be more tough, to identify the elite among the elites of the elites.

I agree with you .hope that if less top scorers ,they will post the top scores out so that we no need guess here guess there liao

MOE don't want to publish news - let parents play ... mystery guessing game here[/quote]Interesting game. Would Singapore Pools create a betting on which school has the highest t-score next year? :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

学生考获全国最高分　南洋小学低调处理
23/11/2012on 我报by 胡洁梅

在今年小六会考中，考获最高285分的是来自南洋小学的谢丰宇。 虽然学校出状元，但校方在宣布成绩时，并没有刻意突出这名学生，而是邀请学校40多名考获270分以上的学生一起接受全校师生的祝贺，同时表扬品行优异的学生。学生们是回到各自的课室领到成绩单后，才探知学校出了状元。 谢丰宇是高才教育计划的学生。他参加学校的高级数学俱乐部，曾代表学校参加数学奥林匹克竞赛。 据同学透露，他在各科的表现优异，双语能力强，在班上经常踊跃发问，也是一个友善尽责的班长。

autolycus:

I guess everyone has forgotten that the PSLE scores are normalised; exactly half will do below average and half will do above average, evenly distributed. Rules of thumb: the average is somewhere between 200-210 +/- a few points (biased upwards), 250+ will put you in the top 10%, and there is no upper limit in theory (although in practice it's probably around 290).

I thought that (based on the T-score formula), if a student whose raw scores (after normalising - adjusting of S-curve) for every subject are exactly equal to the average of the respective subjects, will get exactly 200 points for the aggregate T-score.


However, it does not mean that 50% of the cohort will be more than 200 T-score and 50% will be less than 200 T-score - because the curve is skewed. From newspaper report, about 63% of the cohort has 200 and above.

小六会考　自闭儿考获273分
22/11/2012on 新明日报by 周自蕙, 萧佳慧, 庄秀慧, 林道生, 梁子倩


小六会考今天放榜，新光学校过动儿与自闭症儿何伟俊，在小六会考中考取273的高分。 何妈妈（41岁，行销人员）说，儿子3岁时若得不到想要的东西，就会用头撞墙，令他们觉得不妥，5岁时证实患上亚斯伯格症（自闭症的一种），还患上过动症。 伟俊小一就到新光学校（Pathlight School）就读，副校长黎小梅说，伟俊原本专注力弱，每次只能维持15分钟，而且情绪波动也较大。 老师针对伟俊的情况教学，常在上课时让他小休。到了小三，伟俊觉得无法专注上课时，会主动要求休息。 现在，伟俊的专注力已经提升到1小时，情况有显著改善。 完整报道，请翻阅22.11.2012《新明日报》。

Adetan,

is the info you supply here - reliable ?

is your child from South View primary or from St Anthony ?

I agree with phtthp,if info not reliable pls do not anyhow post.my son tuition friend from st Anthony said that their school only had. 2 285 unlike what you said as 5

even two 285-highscore students fr st anthony, i also find it hard to believe. Wouldn't tat mean there r FOUR top scores (1 NYPS, 1 NH, 2 SA) this yr? Anyone knows if tat's unprecedented?[/quote]That's why i believe MOE decision not to publish top scorers is a mistake:

- it will lead to rumours like you see on this thread which is even worse for the so-called stress level. now every school seems to have pupils above 275.
- naming top scorers including neighbourhood schools will prove that every school is a good school, no?
- naming the top pupils is also a way to recognize and celebrate their achievement. what's wrong with that. in other competitions (acad or non acad), the top boys and girls are also named if they win too, right?
- stress on pupils is induced by parents anyway. why blame the system? besides, the minister said clearly this change is not to reduce stress. so why change?

[quote=\"sujatha\"]Cedar cut-off for IP is 258. Do you think there is a chance for my daughter to get in.

u r quite a few points below the cutoff, so might be very slim chance, to be honest.

Are you sure Cedar cut off is 258?[/quote]Yes confirm. Last year IP cut off is 258. Unless she opt for o'level route.

[quote=\"janet_lee88\"]My son didn't do very well...we were caught off guard.

He has 203. Need time to get over it.
Seriously I don't know what happened, but can't ask him.

Don't worry I got 272 only.. so sad...

Actually with your 272, your IQ is already high up there. It's your EQ that requires lots of work.......and take note, that's what gonna serve you well for the rest of your life!

Hope you learn your lesson well.[/quote]

Problem is she shared in the other thread that she's a parent. :roll: So is she a prankster ? Whatever it is, there's no place for your joke here !

Janet, when I read your post last night, I did not know how to comfort you then... so I decided to keep silent. But I do share your pain and shock... just want to know that alot of parents are here for you. :grphug:

Let's just move on from here.. you can see alot of other parents have shared very inspiring stories about these kids who have done very well even when the odds are seemingly stacked up against them.
