actually if parents want to see high t-score for their kids, they should wish for difficult papers (lower mean, bigger SD), and if they wish for easy papers, then should expect a lower range of t-score (higher mean, smaller SD)

Right now T score doesn't really matter to me anymore.
As long as DS get a place in his school of choice it's OK already.

All the best to your DS. Results in slightly more than one month's time. :xedfingers:

For paper one, markers use marking machines. Markers only need to mark OE paper 2

But my ds can't recall the questions in paper 2 .

If the kids shaded a bit light on OAS sheets for paper one, and the marking machines having problem recognize the shaded answers, will the kids' score be affected? Will the markers manually mark such OAS sheets by eyeball check?

Not to worry. If the OAS machine cannot capture the answers, the person-in-charge will realise the problem. Not sure though whether they mark manually or darken the shadings.

... Alamak mummystay ... I not so :siao: la ... Should ask Osim to provide this free service to the teachers instead and free marketing for them! .... Essence chicken target on top scorers and Osim should target on teacher markers !

Good suggestion. Perhaps also good u did not deliver. Today’s weather too nice and cooling. Afraid all the markers get sleepy after the massage and cannot mark properly. Ginseng still more useful!
