DSA 2012

Just to share the results of my DS and friends who took PSLE 2009 - maths killer paper.
My friend’s DD 2A* + 2A = 266.
Another friend’s DD 2A* + 2A = 265
I saw both their results slip. Both are very strong in maths so their t-score for maths must be very very high.
My DS 3A* + A = 258. His classmate 3A* + A = 268.
DS must have scored low As and A whereas his friend’s As and A are much higher than his.
PSLE scores are cal based on curve so all scores are possible. -

Yes it's possible to get >267 with 3A* + 1A. I know of someone who did.jtoh:

Hi, good to dream, with all good intention, just to manage expectation, 3A* + A will not get 267. Till now have not heard of any case even with high 3A* + A =267, that is the T-score using SD.. just in case, if you looking at 4A*, then definitely is possible! Good luck and best wishes :xedfingers:
I have my reservations! unless you have seen the actual results slip! If my friends told me their kids got it, in all due respect, I will take it with a pinch of salt! B'cos none of my DD's friend with 3A* + 1 can get that >267 (from one of the top Primary school), all those that my DD and I know all with 4A* then >267~280. We know, we seen it in black & white!
Moreover, when my friends told me that her DD with 3A* + A = >265, I already take it with a pinch of salt! She always wanted and pushes her DD to go RGS since P5 , in the end, if her DD got 267, why isn't her DD in RGS? just FYI, her DD went to Cedar! what do you think? In the end, she told us that , oh, my DD like Cedar better than RGS! we gave her face , and wished her DD the best![/quote]Yes, I saw the results slip with my own eyes. So it is true. For my friend's daughter's case anyway. Don't know if your friend is lying to you though. -

So it is possible to get 267 for 3A* + A ?
Can't wait for e release :rahrah: :rahrah: :rahrah: -
Hi krz
Of course it's possible.
Hope ur dream comes true, gd luck
DD also collecting her PSLE results next Thurs. Hope she will rejoice too. -

jtoh is not a hearsay type of parent.
She is very helpful to many parents here. I respect her alot.
I endorse what she says that it is possible for one to get 267 with 3A*.
Please note that PSLE scores of different years cannot be compared across with each other.
Bell curve for each year differs.
A 267 may be a fantastic PSLE score and among the highest scorers in one year but a much lower ranking in another PSLE year. The A* range is a mystery to all for each subject due to bell curve effect.
In the year when the Malay girl got 29x for PSLE (2007?), there were many 27x and 28x scorers then 267 is a high score but not top top.
In a year when there is only one scorer getting 28x (2010 PSLE), very few 27x and most top scorers are squeezed in the 26x band, then 26x is a very high score.
In recent 2 years, I do note that the top scorers are more concentrated in 26x band than in 27x, 28x like in earlier years. Bell curve adjustment effect again.
Going forward, if MOE really implements the removal of PSLE aggregate score and move towards grade banding system, the whole dynamics shift again. -

Agreed, I am referring to the recent tough years when highest T-score =282 or 28x. We are here to share info, just hope that some parents may not expect so easy to get >267…with 3A* + A. cheers :xedfingers: -

What's wrong with Cedar? My niece got >265 chose cresecent girls. Why such myopic views that top girls only choose rgs and nyg???
Kudos to parents who respect their children's views ... -
