Must use brain one hah? I suddenly feel the urge to wallop the kueh ambon in my fridge. Lightly microwaved till just warmed through... yum.

d school's prelim results r olady out
- can assess performance of each school's cohort fr there
if sch provides a summary of results.

My DS' school? Nothing was given us. Not even class ranking. So exasperating right? They set so hard exams and didn't bother to crunch the data for parents. I give up. In another 2 months we will have left the school.

The girls would than hv to check the aggregate to find out who is no.1, 2, 3. It is also not the pupils culture to find out who gets what grade and aggregate. Good and bad. Good thing is it is not a Kiasu school. Bad is, you don't know where DC stand in terms of the cohort and national standard.

A blast fr d past.


size of cohort (sc) in previous dragon year 2000 = 54,734
which was a significant increase fr d three years preceding it
sc1999 = 45,420, sc1998 = 40,021, sc1997 43,460

d sc of d three years preceding this dragon year 2012 is as follows:
sc2011 = 45,261, sc2010 = 45,049, sc2009 = 48,541
Going by d trend, guesstimate is d size of 2012 cohort shd be ard 53,500 +/- 500

d passing rates n d number of candidates who achieved A* - C for ENGLISH were consistently in d high 90%
as following graph shows for years 2001 - 2010:

I have called MOE couple of weeks ago, being advised that there are approx. 49k (sc & foreign talent) of people are taking PSLE this year. :?
I have checked with serveral sec. schools whether they are going to increase classes base on bigger cohart this year, they just said same as last year. :?
Feedback to MOE, the staff just said no worry. Definitely there will be space for my kid. :xedfingers:

NYPS gives projected t-score. I no need to know class placement but at least percentile charts for each subject lor... :frustrated:

Does d sch at least provide d students' average, lowest/highest raw scores for each subject?
It is not too difficult nor too time consuming to churn out d relevant mean, SD for each sch once they hv all d raw scores of its cohort.
Cld d lack of statistics be due to lack of manpower. lack of knowledge at school level or wat?
Since MOE is already using dis statistical package, they can provide same to d schools, no?

Probably that explains the competition for DSA this year is rather keen. Your DC has CO - not so
