Hi all, my boy is in P2 this year. He got into 3I. But not much information was shared about next year’s class.

My daughter is also in P3 next year. Her teacher says there’s no more "best" class, unlike in P5-6. (I believe 6I and 6J are the "best" classes next year.)

Hi

Does the name tag color follows the same throughout 6 years? Or every year change color and have to buy new ones every year?

The color does not change so the same tag can be used throughout 6 years.

Hi, does any parent know how to interpret standard deviation in the report book? Is it compulsory to change to new PE attire? Thanks!

We used sd mainly in P5 and P6 for estimated tscore computation.

The formula is as follows :

50+10*(actual results-mean)/Sd

Do it for every subject (except HCL) and add up the 4 subjects.

Thanks for this, MMM! Do you find the t-score computed a fairly accurate estimate for your secondary school child's psle result?

My girl’s class top 3 pupils got into 3I so can quite safely say 3I still best class next year.

In our case, no. Let's see the PSLE results next friday.

It is really subjective as too many variables that goes into actual PSLE tscore. Eg. child's motivation at the end, the kind of questions that is being asked at psle, their actual day performance (eg. were they in tip top condition), the paper standard that was being set at PSLE and how the entire cohort view it. In a freak year like last year, the usual tscore computation don't seem to be representative.

But in any case, it serves as a good guide on where the child stand versus the 300+ other children in the school. But I personally feel it can swing either way. In our case, we used this info to tell dc that his estimated tscore is XXX, to get into his dream school, he need to do XXX, so he needs to work harder, etc... we started this in P5.

I personally think it's good to educate our children on estimated tscore and what the sec school tscore looks like as a form of target setting. But of course set realistic target and determine what are the suitable choices (which may not necessarily be top choices). Looking at my ds's peers this year, they/ their parents seemed to believe schools with tscore 23x/24X/25X are easy to get into... when alot are struggling at overall 50%-60% level. Either the parents are too optmistic or unrealistic. ds told me that some of his classmates has a sudden realization recently....
