      wonderm , I was thinking of the same thing too.

      Also, SAHP Compensating Factor of 0.9

      And my DD would like to include a Genetic Compensating Factor (lets level the playing field, the children did not get to choose their parents what!) . She thinks her T-score would just double with this

      Children with parents whose average IQ is less than 100 will have a
      Genetic Compensating Factor of 1+ (0.01 X number of points less )

      And
      Children with parents whose average IQ is more than 100 will have a
      Genetic Compensating Factor of 1- (0.01 X number of points more)

      :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

      That's a good one, so all the parents must sit for GAT in future to decide on this compensating factor?

      But my mum sure won't like it, hard to be both intelligent and score well in this \"parent GAT\" test.

      Can my mother be exempted if she passed the GA tests in P3?

        This also must compensate. That also must compensate. Aiyah! Just put them all together lah! But if some crazy little pirate gets so bored that he/she decides to purposely sail into a whirlpool just to see how it spins, don't blame him/her if other less seaworthy pirates in the armada gong-gong follow. Ok?




        Anyway, you forgot to include the parent's MT loading factor.
        Not compensating wah. RECOGNISING.

          For those in GEP, can we have a different domain for them? Exempt their parents from taking this GAT test and directly assign them a low compensating factor. Sicne they are in GEP, surely their parents also have high IQ?

          This way, maybe people won't complain about GEP having unfair advantage during DSA.

              What's the purpose of having all the Compensating Factors?

              Answer: to level the playing field.

              And then?
              Answer: they can be streamed to different Sec schools with no unfair advantage given to anyone.

              But that will unlevel the playing field again, right?

              Before university admission, we need another set of Compensating Factors to level the playing field again?

              :? :? :?

                If the kid has a mother who has PHD, is a SAHM, and can teach all subjects, then he/she will be homeschooled. Seriously, if I have reliable tutors who can coach all subjects, I will do that…then don’t have to put up with so-so teachers, poor attitude ones…send child for ballet or any sport to socialize with others.

                  Haha… LIKE all the compensation proposals.

                  MOE’s system must reboot fast enough, else would crashed.

                    Homeschool very bo-hua though.
                    Cos homeschoolers cannot participate in the general S1 posting exercise :evil:

                      Instead of so many factors here and there, can't we just have a General Baogaliao Factor? Much simpler to administer. The factor is a multiplier of 200/X where X is the unadjusted T score.


                      This has the added benefit of rendering redundant the debate on publishing names of top scorers.
