Personally if a kid is unable to produce a T-score(mid-term) of around 245 and above, top schools are unsuitable for him/her.

But how would we even know the kids PSLE score at mid-term?!!!

Aiyoh, school SA1 exam lah.[/quote]But it doesn't show T-score. All my 3 older kids have no such indication on their report books. No positioning indication either.

Just use the total of 4 subjects x 0.75. More concern with people dsa thru sports. If academically is not even high average, they will face problems at yr 5 and yr 6.

Imaginre getting a mediocre A-level cert with no offer of uni places after having done his/her tour of duties for schools.

LOL - I think your simple method of estimation cannot be used for most schools if that's the case. Bc i think my 2 older kids would have scores around low 200. Apparently the schools who offered confirmed DSa (not sports) did not look at it the same way either. I do wish they would practise showing results in primary school in percentile instead. More representative. Why will the schools NOT listen? Certainly they have all the statistics in place.

Alternatively, can assess his standard base on his ranking at standard level. Anw parents are able to gauge their kids' standard, no problem at all.

I already said \"no ranking\" given. Wah, sounds like Sounds like I am a lousy parent then based on what you say.

From the way you speak, you sound like you have many kids who've done A-levels already?

You are an informed and a good parent! Don't like to talk about myself here but must add that i understand what's going on in our education scene.

So you must be teacher or principal, lah - bc you say you've seen so many A-level results' day scenes. I haven't even seen a single O-level result day bc was \"banned\" from going. ahha.
