All About T-Score
-
Hi everyone, I just want to share my thoughts on this… that good score in PSLE and going to good secondary is highly sought after (by parents especially) as that will mean putting your child in good stead in the coming O’s, A’s and chances of getting into local U. I agree with this totally so always try to push my DD to do her best because I know (and she knows) that she is far from doing her best yet.
Besides for academic reasons, a good secondary school also means higher chance in getting to know friends who are more diligent and disciplined… (generalization here, please don’t flame me!) something that most parents try hard to instil in their kids… For most and in general, your secondary school friend(s) are your friends into adulthood and for life… I feel it is important to put my children in good secondary schools as the formative years are so crucial, the environment they are in, the friends they network with etc. all help to shape the formative years…
Well, just my 2-cents… My wish is for DD to do her best and able to get into her school of choice. If DSA is successful that will make me sleep better at night… but doing her best and seeing improvement is key! -
My two daughter both scored 270, so I would say the mark to be considered to be good is 250 and above.
Hope this helped! :imanangel: -

I have DD in Sec 1 and Sec2 this years in 2 diiferent schools. Based on experience, PSLE score of around 248+2 minimum to enter top 10 Sec schools. It really depend on your needs.
250 & above is actually top 10% of the PSLE cohort. Hwa Chong, Nanyang & Raffles require 26X -

Do not expect such a huge difference in T-score among the primary schools.
\"For the 2012 PSLE, the lowest median aggregate score recorded by a primary school was 160 while the highest median aggregate score was 240. If we include Gifted Education Programme (GEP) students, the highest median score would be 247.\"

Each year the cutoff point for EEISS is different because it depends on the cohort.[/quote]Above 260 & depend on cohort's performance.24hr_mum:
[quote=\"VALyap\"]agreed with Jtoh, EEISS does NOT discriminate gender, it is by merits. as long as top 3% of cohort , EEISS cut off t-score, all SG kids be given.[/quot
Can know the cutoff point for EEISS? -
Different parents have different definition of what’s a good score for psle. Parents should have realistic expectations from their children, understanding their strengths and weaknesses and not to push the kids far beyond the unachievable which can back fired. Generally, a good score can be defined as one which allows the child to be eligible for his or her dream secondary school. But some parents would only view 255+ or above as good scores. Most important is to find a secondary school which suits your child learning pace and environment.

A good PSLE score is a score whereby it truly reflects the capability, determination and hard work your DCs have put in before and during the PSLE exams. What’s important is they work smart and do their best, surely they will be duly rewarded for their efforts.
As long as your child outperforms himself/herself, that is a good PSLE score. Well, at least for them. -
