Is PSLE so important?

Lizawa,


My son's sch is 300 whether it's 3 or 4 subjects. Not sure how they compute the total score. Anyway, just curious, how do u estimate ur child's PSLE T-score based on this total ? Is it possible at all ?

I'm now trying to gauge my child's level and see roughly which sec school we can aim, and do some sch research

Some schools I know, tell the parents to calculate the total based on 300, ie. 75 as total for each subject. This means all subject has equal weightage Then, you get that total score out of 300. The estimated PSLE score will be plus minus 10 points. This is to take into consideration other factors such as the cohort's strength in the various subjects, difficulty level of the papers etc.

Hi joconde,


The link below explains how the PSLE T-score is calculated.

http://road-to-psle.blogspot.com/2007/11/how-psle-aggregate-and-t-scores-are.html

There is also a T-Score aggregate calculator on the same page. You can use that to estimate your child's T-score. Agree with lizawa...factors such as difficulty level of papers and the performance of your child in comparison to his cohort's will determine the score.

Hope it helps. Good to plan ahead!

Hi - you should start getting him to practice even now according to the terms or even ahead of terms if he has been taught the topics. I stay in the west and I know that there is a stall outside NTUC Clementi that sells them. Should be about $55 or so for the 4 subjects.

For actual past PSLE Qns, you may have to buy them from Popular book stores. They are published by \"Educational Publishing House Pte Ltd\". Titles are PSLE examination questions - 2004 - 2008 for various subjects. Do take note that not all PSLE qns are available in these assessment books.


If you want to print those past school exam qns online, pls go to the link mentioned by fxchow. But you will have to spend time, printer ink and papers to print them online.

Or you may call the agent to deliver them (past school exam papers) directly to your house by calling 98518226, 98518229, 93858586, 90216478.

Close to the school Prelims/PSLE, the school where your child studies will be provided past school papers from other schools for them to practice.

Lastly, simply exchange or request other schools' exam papers from relatives or friends.

Hope this helps.
