Thanks phtthp for all the data. Excellent data from Yew Tee, especially breakout between all student results and 4S only.

Anyone knows the %quality passes for Nanyang Primary?

One caveat to the previously mentioned adjustment between school mean and national mean: For difficult prelim papers and where the student’s scores is high, the estimate from prelims is likely to be higher than what’s for PSLE. This is because top schools prelims are difficult and the top students have more room show their abiltiy to get a high t-score in that subject compared to the PSLE where it is easier. This is why when the PSLE papers are hard, the top national scores tend to be higher. For the average student in a top school, the method is not too far off.

leow:

A few of you mentioned that to add x points to prelim t score to estimate psle t score. But in the first place the school only provide scores which is upon 400, and t score uses formula with mean and standard deviation. So how do u estimate t score for yr Prelim results in the first place? Or some schools provide thier own school Prelim t score for each child? I estimate my

Sons p6 t score based on the report book provided mean and standard drviation. But like I said it gives me a scare of my life!

With mean and SD you would be able to estimate T-score relative to school mean. To adjust from school mean to national mean, you can add the difference between school and 200. If the school does not publish the past mean t-scores, see if you can pick it from the \"unadjusted\" estimates posted 25 April 2011 17:29 on the following page. http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=16430&start=20.
For example if your child is from ACSJ, the unadjusted estimates for 2010-2008 are: 225.2, 219.7 and 215.5. So you need to add 25.2, 19.7, 15.5 from your own first estimate. Where your child's actual cohort does relative to national scores varies from year to year but is relatively stable. Difficulty of paper from school to school is hard to compare. Good luck.

inova2008:

what about Greenridge Primary in Bukit Panjang?

Estimate about average t-score of 201 (for 4 std subject students) for 2010 and 2009 PSLE.

meiah:

Can any kind parents share abt the environment at both sajs and acps? I wonder which would help in nurturing boys into a more confident pupil. Which would you choose if distance and religion are not big issues?


I am asking abt these 2 schs because sajs is near my home and acps is near my workplace. Both quite convenient for me to drop him off. Also both have affiliate sec schs which do not require pupils to have sky-high PSLE scores but the pupils I believe still do ok.

Anyone can give feedback?

Tia.

Try ACSJ, it might be a touch easier to get in than ACSP unless u have some connections. Both ACS are about the same academically, (ACSJ ahead last year), and significantly ahead of St Andrews Junior.

I intend to register my gal for 2013 P1 with NanHua and we stay at yew tee. I just called the bus company to find out the timing of picking up and alighting. Pick up at around 6am, alight at around 2pm+. Now I am not sure if I should just let my gal go to a school which is nearby our place or still go Nanhua as we are phase 2A2 eligible. :slapshead:

Nanhua has got excellent 2010 PSLE results...my estimate around mean t-score 230, similar to Tao Nan and RGPS. Doubt if there's a school in Bukit Panjang that's anywhere close. But results isnt everything... the choice is yours.

phtthp:

there are a few Methodist christian schools in SG, like:-


- MGS (Bukit Timah),
- Fairfield Methodist,
- Paya Lebar Methodist,
- Geylang Methodist,
- etc.

but why is it that in the eyes of parents - amongst all Methodist schools, seem like MGS (Bukit Timah) is deemed the best so far ? Sorry, no offence to other Methodist schools.

Perhaps because it's got the best PSLE results by far amongst the Methodist schools?

Hi Chamonix


Thx for sharing. MOE is rather tight lipped on the matter. They mentioned that it is on a case to case basis. Nevertheless, I'll try for the exemption and hope for a favorable outcome.

On another note, are there any overseas Singaporean sending their kids back to do the PSLE or DSA this year? I have registered my DS for the PSLE but was advised to let him do the SPERS instead.

MT exemption for returning Singaporeans is not difficult to obtain, but you should leave a door open to take MT at Sec school. Between PSLE and SPERS, my vote is definitely for SPERS.

Zappie, I suggest if you want to discuss, can do pm.

Both schools have v good PSLE t-scores, estimated at about low 240(Nanyang), about 230 (NanHua). See 25 apr 2011 5.29pm posting on

NY has the highest estimates that I've come across from my data (no data on CatHigh nor SCGS). NH is about the same as RGPS and TaoNan. Both NY and NH GEP schools which NY having larger GEP cohort. As for school environment, best to check other parents on this website.
